carrots and taters.... went from 1 to 64 in less than ten mins so no please.
Beacon blocks--- They are looking into it, I suggested to opti to just sell the nether star and he agreed that itd be the best way.

Leather comes from cows.... currently player trade is waaaayyy up lol, its nice to see :) as opposed to buying from market

Anyone can grow potatos. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be added for a reasonable price.

I agree with the nether star, but they should not add the full beacon. Thats to easy. Im sure everyone has obsidian but, at least you have to do something

Carrots and potatoes should only be available to buy not sell, like all of the current foods.

Beacons likely won't be added, but the Nether Star may be a likely candidate

Leather may be added to the market as well, since it is now a required material to craft books.

I just want to throw  this out there. I was looking at the market yesterday and found red mushrooms but no brown. Granted, I don't normally buy mushrooms since I can normally find them but if one is there shouldn't the other be as well.

Ya I dont think the member market has brown mushrooms, but the guest market does.

Here's my two cents:

Nether stars should be the only thing added to the market. As Morrison said, maybe the brown mushrooms too, but I'm also willing to give you guys some brown mushrooms and a bit of mycelium if you need them.

Brown mushrooms can be bought in the guest market but not the member market. So If you need them, just go to the guest world.

The thing about adding the nether star to the market is that it takes the fun out of obtaining it legit. The nether star was meant to be an extreme challenge in obtaining it. Any thought about adding a designated area for wither spawning?
Title: Re: Adding some items to market
Post by: Morrison1996 on November 01, 2012, 04:28:22 pm
Nope High. It has been stated that the wither is just not to be on our server. It causes to many deaths and we would get complaints about people who die.

i mean like a bedrock room where u would have to be tped in by a mod+

Our mods are already busy enough. If they add the nether star to the market, (which appears to be fairly likely), then having the wither room would be far more trouble than it would be worth. You'd end up with people setting homes in the room as a grief trap and others trying to grab dropped items from player deaths. It would be like a server-made grief palace.

True, u have great points I just feel like its taking the fun out of it

High, if withers were allowed on the server then sure, but they cause grief, and kill players. Because of this there are to be no withers, and the only reason the star is hopefully being added to market is because it is unobtainable without the wither.

Nether Stars are most definitely going to be added to the market. The problem is that the admins and Optical do not want anyone to be able to  buy more than four nether stars. The reason is that if people could buy infinite nether stars, that means that there would be a spam of beacon blocks all over the map, which would look horrible. I guess we will just have to wait until Optical finds a solution to this potential problem. Beacons do look really cool, but not everywhere.

4 was just place holder, we have not decided on an amount or if there will even be a limit.

If spamming beacon blocks will be an issue for the server due to no set amount of purchasing nether stars.
I think adding a player guideline regarding 'beacon blocks' will do good for the issue, or not?

Well then agian you need at least the first part of the pyramid to start the beacon
This would mean a lot of $ to greif which, probraly wouldn't be worth it
Plus to actually make the land ugly it would require a lot of them
Title: Re: Adding some items to market (Lets discuss details)
Post by: Chief149 on November 10, 2012, 10:01:26 pm
Just make iron pyramid beacons not work if it's possible. That way only gold and diamond ones would work.

Then beacons will be REALLY expensive, and thus the quantity demanded/created will be less as the price level has increased! Economics like a sir.

EDIT: Don't wanna make another post.

So here are the details I would suggest(2 possibly plans):
1) Make the thing cost 55K. Cannot be sold to market.

2) Or make the thing cost 10K, but only allow gold and diamond pyramids to work meaning the cheaper iron pyramid won't work. Cannot be sold to market.

Lets discuss what changes or what other things need to be there to make beacons work because I really wanna see them in the market!
Title: Re: Adding some items to market
Post by: Pensfan121 on November 28, 2012, 12:33:56 am
Then again a beacon has a lot of gold iron diamond blocks so it probably won't be spammed

I think the star should cost 30k, doesnt matter what type. Not many people are spending their cash THAT unwisely.
Btw milehighrollers sig is huge lol

I think it should be sold at 50k Cause people can and will buy alot more if at 30k or cheaper.
Title: Re: Adding some items to market

Well, its up to the admins to decide.

How about you have to put in an application to buy a nether star?

Sounds like more unnecessary work. That would mean you have to fill out a form the staff then has to review. I know many people wont like this but the best way to limit the amount someone can get is to make it a donations purchase and limit the number of times someone can buy that specific item.
Title: Re: Adding some items to market
Post by: ☣2crzy4uall☣ on November 28, 2012, 05:56:01 pm
Or just limit how many you can get from the market
Title: Re: Adding some items to market
Post by: ivy2112 on November 28, 2012, 06:43:43 pm
I would suggest 6 max?
There are 6 effects so maby 6 nether stars per person?
Title: Re: Adding some items to market
Post by: Pensfan121 on December 01, 2012, 06:58:11 pm
Why must there be a limit? It takes a lot of money already to build the platform for a beacon.

You only need nine blocks in addition to the beacon block in order to activate it. You can get that by voting in 17 days, not to mention how easy it is to mine and/or trade with villagers. Multiply that by the number of players on the server and the number becomes significant.

Edit: Thank you, Goalie Guy. I did consider that the star price would be a factor, but Pensfan did not include that as a reason and thus I did not see a need to discuss it. Star price will of course be large because spawning and defeating a wither is not a simple task. However, we have a LOT of rich players on the server that may be willing to buy nether stars in large quantities and possibly sell them second hand at lower rates, (reason for doing so: unknown). Though I doubt that players who have been with the server for a long time would misuse the beacons by excessive placement, the players that they sell nether stars to may not be as responsible and therefore beacon spamming could concievably occur. Limiting the purchase quantity would therefore resolve the issue effectively.

Dont forget about the sheer price of the star.
