I think it would be nice to have spawn eggs for a donation package. It could be $5 for 2 eggs. This would solve the issue with people complaining that they want animals spawned, just tell them to donate! This would probably be very popular and allow for more upgrades to the server! I hope that people like this idea and it happens! Also, if this goes through, please dont have aggressive mob eggs. Thanks!

$5 for 2 eggs seems a little steep, assuming you mean just normal animals (pigs, sheep, cow, chicken)?
This is something that would be easy to implement, so let me know if anyone would be interested and in what they would pay etc :)
-
$5 for 2 eggs does seem expensive, if I were to buy spawn eggs, I'd spend $5 for 8. The reason why I'd pay $5 for 8 is because someone might kill all of your animals again and I would like backups and not have to spend $5 every single time they get killed.
A deal package that would be nice to have is every mob egg (sheep, cow, pig, wolf, mushroom cow) would be $10 for 4 of each egg.
There is no chicken in there because you can just buy eggs from the market and throw them.

I was gonna say this is a great idea, but didn't know what anyone else would think of it. But I guess since Optical himself thinks it's good, here's my input. :)
Agreed, only pig, chicken, cow, and sheep eggs should be available.
When people want to donate for spawn eggs, they need to be given a fair amount, since it's real money we're talking here. A good idea could be like the in-game money donation 'the more you buy, the less you pay' kinda thing. Possible prices?:
20 eggs - $5
40 eggs - $10
60 eggs - $15
What do you think?

Mooooo shrooms ocelots wolves
These are what ppl want =3

Sounds good - I do quite like this idea.
Keep the suggestions on pricing / quantity coming :)

INDIVIDUAL TYPES
$ 2.50 FOR 8 pig/cow/sheep--(most common)
$ 3.00 FOR 8 moooooooshrooms--(red and rare)
$ 4.00 FOR 8 wolves/ocelot-- utility mob (scare creeper/kill mobs)
FARMER PACKAGE
$7.00 2cows2pigs2sheeps4mooshrooms
ADVENTURER PACKAGE
$6.00 5wolves5ocelots

Just saying, I'd put the amount of eggs to purchace right up in the 20's - 60's (like in my post)
Only because if someone were to donate for them, they'd probably want a good amount of them, and things like $2.50 for them just doesn't seem right.
If the amount of eggs are higher, you'll find people will probably not look at the prices too much "OMG! 60 spawn eggs!" [clicks buy]
Just my opinion.

There is no chicken in there because you can just buy eggs from the market and throw them.
So far, my favorite suggestion is this one (Mr's), although I think there should be 1 change.
Instead of having $10 for 4 of each sheep, cow, pig, wolf and mushroom, I think it should be somewhere between $6 and $8 for 4 of sheeps, cows, pigs and wolves, and $4 for 4 mushroom cow eggs (They are so much rarer/harder to transport).
On the other hand, it could be $10 for 4 of: Sheep, Cow, Pig, Wolf and Ocelot, and have $4 for the 4 Mushroom cows
EDIT: One thing I forgot to say, is I would not like to see villager eggs in this donation pack, or they might well go the way of the diamond (It barely has any value after all this voting).
-
Lets keep this simple. One thing about these discussions is people like to come up with addons and other things for the eggs. So lets do this:
There's no enemy mob eggs available for donation. Mob spawners are easy to find, and people like B1u3 j0k3r have spawners available to the public. Lets keep it restricted to friendly mobs.
Mob eggs: $5 for 8
That price would be for any type of egg including chikcens, but we just hope players have enough sense to buy chicken eggs from market and thow them.
Once again, mob eggs for donation $5 for 8 of them, and that's it. Maybe the mob type can be in the selection menu, or an admin can give the eggs in game and ask what type the player wants, but the simplest and cleanest way to do this is stick with $5 for 8 mob eggs. Also I don't recommend eggs for villagers, or if you do decide to do eggs for villagers then make those a bit more pricy such as $5 for 1 of the villager eggs, but once again that's an addon which adds more to the plan which I discouraged in the beginning of this post.
-
Well I think $5 for 10 eggs would be simple and clean, but like chief said, villagers should be higher priced!
Edit: It would be easier to have 2 eggs for $1, as more people would breed these. Also it is at the same rate as the prices above, but it would allow people to buy multiple animals instead of having 10. $5 for 4 villagers seems about right for me, considering the prices some people sell them at, and being one of the only sources for emeralds when the 1.3 update comes out. Im liking the feedback guys!
-
I think that the eggs should be as follows:
Mooshroom Cow, Cow, Sheep, Chicken, Wolf, villager, and Ocelot
Prices As Follows:
Rare Eggs (Villager, Ocelot, and Wolf)
20 $8
40 $14
60 $20
____________________________
Normal Eggs (Sheep, Mooshroom Cow, Cow, Chicken)
20 $5
40 $9
60 $14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree with Deekay. We aren't talking about in-game money, it is real money. Truthfully, i wouldn't donate $5 for 10 eggs that is $2 an egg!
-
I don't think villagers should be for donation because of their newly valuable nature. I think we need to keep the challenge of breeding them, building villages, and selling/going through the transportation crap to get villagers. I think that needs to be kept otherwise every player with money is going to donate for villagers, and we'll have so many villages that they won't be special anymore. Just another "boring" part of the world.
I like the idea of the other mobs, but not the villagers, please.
-
Chief, maybe we could have a poll about that?
-

I could have very easily edited one in to reduce clutter.
-
Villager can cause heavy lag and so it's best not to be in donations, so that it won't be easy for people to crash the server.
Do note mob eggs for sale should only be for mobs which will respawn naturally but didn't due to the slow spawn rate, villagers are NOT in that category.
-
Doom, good point on that.
-
just a thought but instead of charging for some kind of package deal why not charge for an individual egg, something like $0.50-$1.00/egg and have a drop down that lets people pick their own type/amount, would give people more freedom and maybe increase interest.

I'm all for this idea, good thinking.
The only thing about this is the prices. $0.50 isn't really a price you'd want to put in the donation store. Maybe start at $5 worth of eggs in the drop down? Just a thought.
-
Here's an idea. Now with 1.3.1 we have a demand for ink sacs, how about we add squid eggs to this list...
-
I think there should only be eggs for friendly mobs that only spawn naturally like Doom pointed out.
For example, I have an island in the guest world that is almost right on the world border. Maybe I'd like to have cows there, but it would be impossible because I would have to travel by boat over 4000 meters I think to get to the mainland in order to by some luck find cows. It would take 24 to 48 hours to get the cows to follow me that far by boat. In other words that would pretty much be impossible.
-
Actually quite a good idea nice on chip.
Still should really only be peaceful and neutral so people Dont try to kill each other with zombies
-
I actually think DeeKay and D00M are on the right track... DeeKay with the pricing and numbers, D00M with the various egg options.
The egg group should be standard, like say 20 eggs for X amount of money
The amount of money should be dependent on the mob type. (Common/Rare/Ultra Rare)
So say something along the lines of;
20 Chicken/Cow/Sheep Eggs = $5
20 Mooshroom/Squid Eggs = $10
20 Wolf/Ocelot Eggs = $15
I don't think villagers should be purchasable. There are more than enough people farming villagers, and they breed like rabbits. It just takes a little effort and some in-game cash to get a hold of a couple. If you're going to offer villagers they should be something like 2 Eggs for $10 just due to their natural rarity, and high breeding rate.
-
The main purpose of this topic is to allow ppl to buy mov egg for passive mob that don't spawn due to slow rates, villager isn't in the category and hence should not be included
-
This topic stopped why? I'm in for this idea, not only would it help alot of people, it would also support optical funding the server

Ok, thanks, that will be enough for now.

DEFINITELY supported.
PS: When it comes to pricing, keep in mind $1=$10000 in game.

I was looking at suggestions and saw that spawn eggs as a donation has not been discussed yet. I was wondering if certain spawn eggs could be used as a donation. For example farm animals such as chickens, cows, pigs, and sheep could be a donation. Maybe for 5$ for 2 spawn eggs of your choice of the animals I have stated above. Please post any ideas or suggestions about this topic below. Thanks.

$5 for two spawn eggs? that's a bit steep, considering there is no guarantee that the animals won't be killed/griefed.
and will the eggs be tradeable? what sort of ramifications will that have on the economy?

Thread merged. Next time, look in the Suggestions Portal (http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,12673.0.html)-- it's there for a REASON.
-
I would pay
-
I'd say like $5 for 10.
-
And I'd say $10 for 1 egg.
-

You're joking, right...
-
I agree. I believe spawn eggs should be rare, or not in the game at all. I used to support this for the purpose of letting people get villagers for their village, but I no longer do now that zombie villagers fix that problem.
Plus I like the idea of spawn eggs being rare/only obtained due to them being accidentally released which happens every now and then (how I got my ocelot spawn eggs).

The economy...hadnt thought of that.
-
As of only animal spawn eggs for donations.
I think for chicken, cow, pig, and sheep
$5 for 5 spawn eggs
-
You're joking, right...
Why would I be joking? Eggs aren't to be cheap if they want to cheat.
-
Opticalza even said $5 for 2 eggs is too high......maybe $5 for 10 eggs after these are farm animal eggs.
-
Truly depends on what perspective you're looking at this.
From someone who has searched for miles for animals and found none: Would obviously be asking for this to be implemented.
From someone who has done the "100-mile journey": "Come on! I've done so much work to find these animals! This is unfair by not being there earlier!"(yeah, some people would from what I hear on chat…)
Although I have done that "100-mile journey," I personally think that it would at least help the people who truly have looked but found none.
For prices, remember it's just a game (although there are billions out there who would pay anything to play a game :-\).
(…Do I sound like nonsense…? ???)
-
I think spawn eggs should not be available for purchase via donation. They should be rarer.
What I would support would be the admins and OPs going and randomly spawning a bunch of friendly mobs around the world when they die off over time. But lets look at this:
The guest world is now new and has more animals than anyone may know what to do with for a while.
The member world is also new enough that there will be some animals still around.
Nothing to fear guys. All we need is for the admins to spend time randomly spawning some mobs around the maps every now and then when the animal supply gets low (perhaps a plugin could spawn some animals randomly?).
-
Also
All kinda animals can spawn everywhere
Just be patient and wait for the animals to spawn
At my home , i have in total around 30 animals spawned and every animal , so just wait for them to spawn and dont want to cheat a game.
-
Cows don't they only spawn when the world is generated.
-
Last time I checked, animals can't spawn anymore without the use of spawn eggs or when the world is first generated. Once there, they're there.
-
Well, no villager spawn eggs, and I don't even like the idea of animal spawn eggs. I'd be more for the idea of a plugin which simulates the animal world generator spawning system by spawning animals where the world generator would normally spawn them in the chunks where there are a lack of animals.
-
There has been a recent clearing of many rare items on opti.... This is a great idea but it could cause confusion in how the item was obtained. Also I agree that these items should be kept rare. Also, my 250th post

Giant seriously? That mob will never come in OptiCraft! Well I dont want it.
And some animals are too many and hostile mobs should be a little less too I guess.
Happier?

lol monsters

Technically, I have found by witness, is cows and other animals spawn on land that isn't built on. Otherwise they would be known as "house cows," if they don't spawn on fresh land.

I believe he means that you could place a certain block and it'd turn into a giant. I believe classic does this with grass but I'm not sure if the method can be applied to mobs. :P
However, giants will most likely never be add to Opticraft, since it isn't a normal mob in minecraft.

That part is correct, but why was the topic of blocks bought up anyway?
Tobs already mentioned that Giant spawn eggs can be spawned, but through a command. No blocks needed.
But that's besides the point, Giant spawn eggs will never be available.

Offtopic: I have seen a giant on opticraft before. So I think admins must use commands to spawn it
