I feel like it'd just be easier to have it so by default, only the person that placed the chest can open it, unless they add others via command. No need for a password, no need for lists of realm members, just simple.

But then they'd have to add every single person in say, a 100-user realm :shock: . I support the idea in its original form.

Something else to think about:

This would open up the opportunity for realm owners to sell build rights to new players for chest protection. This means new players will no longer need to build up 10k to buy a realm. However, a periodical payment by the customer would mean it may be cheaper to buy their own realm in the long run. There will also be less newbies building far from spawn avoiding thieves. Once they have enough credits, they could buy whichever realm they choose, not the one they originally settled on, far from spawn.

People can already rent out space for nothing but chests, and there shouldn't be thieves in the first place.

Excellent idea, bone!! I remember half of the first six diamonds I found mysteriously disappearing from my house in Korriban. This would stop things like that quite well, unless you trusted a thief.

Or...

Have three levels of realm membership.

Level 1: Can place/remove blocks.
Level 2: Can place/remove blocks, enter chests.
Level 3: Similar rights to the realm owner- add members, etc.

If you're thinking anti-stealing, it may be an improvement, but unfortunately items in chests can't be rolled back even when the thief is banned (assuming they were given level 1 and broke the chest for the items).

So I'm reading your suggestion... and I like. More than that, it's well thought out, isn't full of whiny fail, and seems more than reasonable. This would allow for a HUGE degree of protection, without being unnecescarily complex.

+1, +1 Indeed.

Or, just have certain chests locked so only you can enter them. I like the level system better though.

This is a great idea. So I say +1

My dog likes the idea too.
