Protection stones are too expensive
Nick3306:
The stones are all priced proportionally, so we cant just change 1 without changing the others. Even just dropping the coal by 1000 will make the lapis sell for 7000 and the diamond sell for 49000 which in my opinion is way to cheap.

Like i said, I understand the math behind the proportional increase in the prices of the protection stones. Since the dimensions are all doubled that means the bigger protection occupies eight times as much space which equals an eight times higher price. But if you already have a high BASE price you will end up with stratospheric prices like the ones we have right now. Which will only be affordable to the majority of the players after a good 3-4 months. Also, If you think 1000, 7000 and 49000 is cheap, PLEASE tell me how the hell do you make that much money? If everyone knew I'm sure I wouldn't be complaining like this

I also think that the stones may still be too expensive, and might reduce the price of them further. That, or increase the sell ratio on some of the raw materials such as dirt.

We have like 4 different players with over $100k and a ton of players over $40k. It is possible to make them even cheaper but i wouldn't make the coal any cheaper. Maybe multiple by 6 instead of 7 or something. I definitely wouldn't up the sell prices of items since that will only widen the growing wealth gap on our server.

Compare the people that have over 40k to the people that don't. Big difference here.
At the moment, 12 people have 40k+ out of the 490 pages (9 people each page, you do the math)
