This idea is to create a new type of currency into the system called premium credits or Plot Credits. Premium credits cant be traded with other people, but u can buy Premium Realms with them. The only way to get premium credits is to buy them. Say $1 for 1,000 premium credits, and 10,000 premium credits for a Premium Realm or 5,000 premium credits to transfer your realm into a Premium Realm.

Commands:
/plots purchase
/plot credits to see how many premium credits you have.

Also make it impossible to sell Premium Realms for credits so people cant mess up the economy. Also if the owner of the premium realm wanted to sell back the realm, he would then receive *half or none of the premium credits he spent on it.

About the Premium Realms. The only way to get a premium realm, is to use premium credits. I don't think people who don't buy premium credits with money shouldn't be able to earn them. I believe if someone were to do something like report people for breaking rules, they should be given the option to exchange like 500 realm credits for 500 premium credits in order to get their hands on a premium realm.

Here's a picture that explains how plots should work on premium realms, maybe something like a realm divided into 4 plots, and typing a command to allow a certain plot to a certain user by standing on the plot when u give it to them, but the rest of the realm is not permitted for them to use.



I have read all the idea suggestion stickies and noticed that "buying credits" or "telling intelli what to do" would ultimately fail. But the way premium credits work, should not be able to effect the economy as they would not be able to be transferred between players, and u cannot buy a realm with premium credits than sell it to another player for credits. Or if u were to sell a premium realm to a player for credits, u would only receive 5,000 or no premium credits, and the realm would be turned back into a plain realm and whoever bought it would loose 10,000 credits to the server.

This idea would not mess up the economy, and it would be a way for people to put money into the server while receiving benefits.

About telling intelli what to do, even though he would have to write some codes, he would get benefits from it to help pay for the server better.

vip

A donor tag that is called vip and is the color purple, but costs $5 a month. This might encourage more amounts of people to donate, but the Donor tag will still be superior.

Sorry. I stick with unleaded regular.

If all you want to do is allow your friends access to only a part of your realm, and rent out other parts of your realm to other people, than just buy another realm for that person all together. Charge extra for rent to said player A or friend may pay you back. Also what your saying is you can buy a "premium realm" with 10k premium credits, and you have to buy premium credits. This means that a player can go crazy buying premium credits, and buy as many "premium realms" as they want. As a wiseman once said, Minerealm RC system isn't bought with money for a reason, it's designed to reward those who are dedicated, not those with the deepest pockets.

its great for renting out a realm to a lot of people, say if u were to rent a realm out to 32 people, and one of them decides to grief, they would only be able to grief 8 people out of 32.

Instead of buying a premium realm I would just buy 4 regular realms.

Zeem, I like to support creativity, but this isn't a good idea. It overcomplicates the realms system, and (more importantly) defeats the purpose of the realm system. It is also highly abusable.

I vote no on all counts.

Time and time again someone suggests the use of real money to get credits, and this defeats the purpose of a completely FREE server.

Not only that but the purpose of realm credits or getting land is not catered towards the people with the biggest pockets (more money). It is for the people who are dedicated to gain credits by mining and building.


The idea is also too complicated and would just make the realm system completely disastrous

I agree with Cirjohn minerealm is about who is having fun and who is dedicated not who has the deepes pockets. But top marks for creativity.

I like the idea, and had expected minerealm to kind of work like this allready.
But imagine the :shock: horror :shock: explaining -that- system and the current realm system to an annoyed, new player that can't build anywhere near spawn, as it is

For these important and well said reasons this idea will not happen.
