Ok so I have been on this server for about a month and I've been trying to earn enough credits to purchase land. I think purchasing a realm should be cheaper...much cheaper like around 2000-3000 credits instead of a whopping 10000 credits. Why? Because it would prevent grieving, which is a huge problem in this server. It would also increase your popularity, people don't want to sit around trying to earn enough credits to do something and not get it grieved, making the price lower would allow people to set up SAFE settlements quicker and easier. And why do you need credits? Its not real money, you don't absolutely need it, whats better to you, more credits that don't matter to you or more players on you server and happier members? Plus it would make your server much, much better and cleaner, half your server is just ruins and constant construction because of grieving.
Bottom-line: Making purchasing land cheaper=more popularity and a much better server. I GUARANTEE it.

So basically, you are an entitled causal who wants to have benefits without working for it. Realms are a privilege, not a right. Be glad there's even a system to prevent people from defecating all over your buildings.

This 'privilege' thing isn't a good argument. An 2000-3000 credits takes time to earn, lets see...you get .5 credits each block you destroy or place, so...it took me 4 days to earn 400 so that should be enough 'commitment' to be able to protect you stuff. Making prices cheaper would make the server much more cleaner and safer.

It took you 4 days to build or mine out something that would be less than a 10x10x10 cube.
Not enough commitment. Good day to you sir.

That's ridiculous i earned over 6000 in one day. Its not hard, simply find where you want to build your realm (AKA; thousands of blocks away from spawn) then start building your realm. When you have enough buy the realm, buy it! Easy!

It took me and a friend 1 day to earn enough for a realm. No need to reduce the price and use up more free land on the server.

Thats another thing, people don't want to commit to something thats not worth it. The only reason you buy so quick is you probably have no lives, and a 10x10x10 block is not equivalent to 10000 credits more like 100x100x100 plus in the beginning you don't have diamond or iron tools just you hand and maybe some wood tools, it takes time retard.

Alrighty, let's see who busy you are.

Mining cobble allows you to get .5 credits per second, and as you claim you get 100 credits a day. Now assuming consistent mining, you are spending about 200 seconds a day mining, or just over 3 minutes.

Now I understand that you are a busy person and that taking more than 3 minutes a day would put a damper on your totally busy social life, but you have to understand that if you play 3 minutes a day we have to question your commitment levels, and whether you deserve land that you will only be using 3 minutes a day.

Eh, I'd like the price to be around 5k to 8k, but definitely no lower than 5k. You shouldn't have to mine the heck out of the Nether (DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE) to buy the land your house is on. A large, well-decorated house should be enough to buy the realm; that took about 5.5k credits for me.

And before Light calls me an entitled casual, I'm not trying to be. Realms shouldn't be free or easy to get, but there's a balance somewhere. If too few credits are needed, realms are too easy to get. If it takes too many, people build houses and then stall out while they think of new projects to get more credits. Obviously there will always be some people one either side who think realms are too easy/hard to get.

Confucius say, "Only when realm prices are in perfect harmony will there be a little less whining on the forums."

[smithsps]

Price is fine, if the price would be lower, the realms would be bought up *that* much faster, and then players would complain, "There are no realms to buy! This is stupid."

400 for 4 days. So it would take you 100 days to just get one realm. So you could you could get a max of 3 a year? :roll: I already have more than that.

Also

half your server is just ruins and constant construction because of grieving.

Last time I checked the area around spawn is not half the server? And I am betting that you haven't left that area yet.

Obviously there will always be some people one either side who think realms are too easy/hard to get.

Your post hit it right on the nose.
