The bank does not need to give loans. Unlike real banks, this takes money to store items*. So risking giving out loans is not necessary. Plus, I do not see the real need for people to be loaned items on this server in large numbers. Also loaning systems can be taken advantage of.

I did want to discuss this but you are never on-line when I am now :P

Yeah, maybe PM communications, lol. But really, i'm somewhat positive the IP exchange will be doing something like this itself already, but we'll see

There was a bank on the first creative server. Intelli built it out of bedrock with a regular material outside fora nice building. It got griefed constantly and saw little use.

Sky city built a bank and the greifers swarmed and destroyed both the bank and the entire city within 12 hours of the banks completion.

Banks are bad ideas because they are like a giant sign challenging every greifer ever to come find a way to wreck it, and they often do.

I remember that, and agree with you.

If it's in a private realm with visitors off, I see no way that griefers can do any damage to it.

Private realms sometimes randomly go public, and you would have every griefer on the server watching your realm like a black ops team hunting an action movie hero only hopped up on pcp. The moment your realm shows even the slightest opening in any way it would be wrecked in minutes.

And then of course your realm would have greifers hanging around it, bored griefers, which would be a pain for all the other realms near you.

And why would anyone bother with the bank if the only protection is the a private realm with visitors disabled? Most people can do that on their own.

Must say that this idea is going downhill rapidly. But I love this saying:

No they don't.
Private realms go public when someone leaves.
After someone leaves and it's public they can rejoin without permission.
Stop spreading this bullocks.

Also, to show my opposition, I solemnly promise to try my best to rob it once it's made.
In the event I personally rob it, the materials I acquire will be going to Intelli to do what he wants with it, after a minor deduction.
