I have neighbors that have land that I am interested in purchasing. Every time I check to see if they are online it usually is close to a month ago. I wait for the land to go public and the day that it would go they get back online. It's not so much that I'm complaining that I want to loot their land, it's the fact that they never get on for me to communicate with them. They also never contribute to the server. I was just wondering if there was anything anyone could do about this? I understand if nothing can be done but I was just asking.

Thank you

I'm sorry to inform you that this is allowed and is perfectly legal - the only case where you may be able to force realms to disband via staff intervention is when a banned player owns the realms.

I find this to be one of the major problems with the realm system. And although I can't think of a way to prevent this from happening it should be looked into our in special cases staff should look disbanding realms or at least forcing some kind of conversation on this players - maybe give notices somehow upon login.

This prevent the flow of realm control and literally freezes and 50x50 square of the world. Which is technically ok but after a time it only becomes a burden on other players and begins to harm the server community...

I think giving a notice to players upon login would be actually a great solution... Someone can post a discrepancy with someones activity and their realms and if a mod reviews the case and finds that it has become a problem and the seemingly-inactive player needs to do something about halting realm flow, a message can be sent to the player upon login: like, "Contact a mod about your recent activity" or "Your realms have become unused, sell or increase activity or they will go public".

Intelli said he is working on a property tax idea. It should discourage this type of behavior.
I think property taxes should increase the longer you haven't been on a realm and or logged in. This will discourage people from owning a realm and not doing anything with it. And it won't be too big of a burden on active players.

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

Even if that was implemented, he obviously doesn't care about Minerealm so he wouldn't care about his credits.

The point is, his credits would be drained as tax until they ran out, and then his realms would disband sometime later due to being unable to pay the tax.

If that was ever implemented I would be drained so fast of credits that I would not be able to anything other than constantly mine to make up for lost credits.
To be honest should you try talking to the owner or PM'ing them on the forums and finding out whether they want to sell.
What a player does with their property is their perogative, they have worked enough credits to acquire it. They should be allowed to use their property as they wish.

your going to get alot of complaints bout this property tax if it is ever implimented. I ain't on alot cause I just got a job. but to come on and find out that I lost my realm due to it being disbanded and all my credits drained, let alone my proptery pillaged and probly bought. would just infuriate me, and would make me look down on mine realm.

I vote no against this property tax unless it was implimented as an increase to teh next realm you bought. like if I own 3 realms. the fourth one I buy will be 12,500. and teh fifth one will be 14,000, increasing by 1,500 or such.

I absolutely agree with both of you guys--I didn't mean to voice any support of what the property tax would do in such situations, but rather just explaining what might happen. Personally, I own around 20 realms, and I've only been able to get that far by gradually building up credits in the relatively little amount of time I have to play Minecraft each week. Depending on how exactly the property tax ends up working, I might have to sell most of them to the server in order to make the tax more affordable
I do like Fatty's idea, of applying the tax as an increased price for a realm purchase (more like a sales tax than a property tax, but whatever); it would accomplish largely the same thing--making it cost-prohibitive for people to expand into areas they don't think they'll actually use--but would be less of a burden on those who have worked hard to acquire some of the server's greatest towns (I hate to think of what would happen to Findale under a monthly property tax...).

Unfortunately, Intelli has already stated in another thread that he IS planning on a property tax system.

This tax system is to stop people who are not active, from holding their realms.
Someone like you wouldn't face the brunt of this tax. As in the tax would only kick in if you were offline for a week or so.

And no, because the server is limited in space, anyone who abuses the realm system and holds onto their realms is only hurting the server. It doesn't matter if you have 100 realms - if you just let them sit there, without contact or without allowing them to be bought or sold, you don't deserve them by any means.
