I don't think Intelli was trolling. And if he wasn't, I think it's worth a shot seeing as so many players hang onto their realms without ever playing the game. It's a shame that you have to log in every day, wondering when you will catch the owner of the realm you desire online. You see that he/she hasn't played for 28 days. Next day, he/she played 14 hours ago. From there, it's just repetitive facepalm.

One I think thats the worst idea on the Ideas list and 2 im glad bone junky noticed that. INTELLI DOES NOT PAY SERVER FEES WITH CREDS UGGGH!!!!!! I mean really my little brother knows that and he's 6!!!!!

If the goal is to stop players from tying up realms that they don't use, the way to do it would be to bring back the system where you had to place/remove some number of blocks (1000?) in order to purchase the realm.

I like that.

This idea as-is is rejected.

However, as I've already said in-game before this topic was created, we are working on a property tax system.

I'm glad the idea proposed in this thread was rejected, but I have a feeling that I won't like whatever property tax system ends up getting implemented...

If one goal of implementing a property tax is to take credits out of circulation, this could be done by any number of methods that don't involve automatically bleeding players' funds dry. For example, reducing the number of credits for which realms could be sold to the server would accomplish this.

If a goal of having a property tax is to discourage players from buying realms they don't really need/want, this too could be accomplished by less irritating methods. As I previously mentioned, this could be done by bringing back the "place or remove ____ blocks in a realm before you're allowed to buy it" system. The same thing could be accomplished by establishing a rule that newly purchased realms must be built upon within a certain time limit.

Heck, even something as simple as increasing the purchase price of a public realm (without a corresponding increase in resale value) would accomplish both of those objectives.

I dont think people should be taxed the days they dont play. Cause I can see this forcing them to play on the server more. But I do like the idea of being taxed the they do play.

I took like a 2-3 month break and if that tax system was up I wouldnt have any of my realms. But now im playing again and am using them to make a town.
