[LARDIMUS_PRIME]

Origin of the idea:

With the recent increase in griefing/looting a lot of new players who joined the server lost items and may never return, this is something we don't want to see, we want new players to stick around integrate with the veterans and make this a wholesome community.

Suggestion:

Increase the amount of credits earned for placing/destroying blocks for new players until they have earned their first 10,000 credits, this doesn't mean they can keep spending them so they don't reach 10,000 and benefit from the increased amount of credits earned, it totals up their credits earned not the amount they actually have at any given time. A possible increase from 0.5 per block placed/destroyed to 1, 1.5 or 2 cr per block destroyed, so that they can reach 10,000 quicker to buy a realm and protect any items they have. They will also have a piece of land that they can call their own which should encourage them to stay.

You may argue that it is already easy enough to gain 10,000 credits, I agree for us who have played here a while it is, we have better tools to mine with etc.

I have seen in the past new players who have joined asking about realms and how much it costs and 10,000 at 0.5 cr per block to them seems like a near impossible challenge and they have left. We don't want this to happen we want people to stay to help the server grow.

Pros:

Potentially increase the amount of new players that stay on the server
More public land will be bought and potentially "cleaned up" (less dirt huts)
Fresh meat for VV
Potentially more donations

Cons:

People with alts could abuse it to make money faster then give it to their main account (although this wont have a huge impact on the game unless someone has like 100 alts)


TL;DR

More credits per block for noobies


If you have any for or against arguments please comment.

Thanks

If this somehow ends up being implemented, I will spend all my credits buying realms until I have less than 10,000, then go get easy credits to buy more realms until the system is inevitably repealed.

lard said that in the suggestion. only for there first 10 000. so if there total earnings is less than 10 000 they will get the benefit of getting 2 credits per block.

If you read the suggestion you would have seen this:

this doesn't mean they can keep spending them so they don't reach 10,000 and benefit from the increased amount of credits earned, it totals up their credits earned not the amount they actually have at any given time.

Meaning the second they have earned 10,000 credits whether they have 10,000 credits in their "bank" or 0 they have earned 10,000 then the credits earned per block reverts back to 0.5.

I said no. The amount of credits earned is at .5 and realm cost at 10,000 for good reason. It's meant to make it so players stay dedicated. Also, more new players complaining about land, MORE dirt structures from undedicated new players (now with protection!) and probably more if I thought harder. So yeah, I voted no.

[Eetrab]

No for the reason above.

[cobaya18]

Yes. And hippo, 6 words:

SOME. NOOBS. ARE. LAZY. THESE. DAYS.

No (again). We managed, they can too. Don't want your stuff taken, anyone with at least 2 brain cells can figure out how to stop it. If their stuff is still taken (by a matter of cheating etc.) then staff can roll it back.

Plus, think of all the complaining noobs after they get 1000 credits: 'y r cridits kost more now us don get asmneny creditts as b4 yyyyyyy????????????'

Unfortunately 9/10 of new players are lazy, 0.5 cr per block to get to 10,000 is too much work for a lot of them. Most new players are playing for a couple of days then leave. I have seen hundreds of people over the last few weeks come and go in a matter of days.

Back in the day when we began playing minecraft there weren't many mods, if we wanted something in survival we had to get it, this new generation of minecraft players are used to mods and kits on servers where they are spoon fed until they can fend for themselves. They just need a gentle push in the right direction.

MORE dirt structures from undedicated new players (now with protection!)

I do not see your logic here, why is someone going to buy land and only build a dirt hut, most people will have a sense of achievement in the fact that they have bought their own land that will then encourage them to make it look nice and not like a dump. Ok there may be some people who really don't care about what their realm looks like but that happens now anyway in public land and some private realms.

No (again). We managed, they can too. Don't want your stuff taken, anyone with at least 2 brain cells can figure out how to stop it. If their stuff is still taken (by a matter of cheating etc.) then staff can roll it back.

Same as what I said before.

People wont be complaining about their credits most of them probably wouldn't even notice. If they did players would simply respond with something like "you gain more credits when you are new".

Just because a player is lazy doesn't mean they always will be, when they first join the server they will think 10,000 cr will take forever to get, but once they pass their first 10,000 and buy their first realm it will be encouragement to stick around.

Think of pretty much any type of shop or business, if they want more customers to shop there again they have special offers "buy one get one free" 1/3 off etc etc. think of this as a special offer like that.

Does this debt have anything to do with this suggestion
