Suggestions for New Map

dm1994 · 01-07-2011, 13:04,

These are just some of my ideas to add when the new map comes out. I can also add other good suggestions.
* 1.I do not know every single detail of new map so these might be on here 2. I don't know how hard these things are programming wise.

-Make certain items stack-able, ie. bread
-Whenever someone bids on auction it adds 10 seconds (this is to prevent sniping the bids and reflects true price of the item)
-Give mayor of each town a portal to and from the spawn and/or other towns for faster transportation

-Give people more money to start off with, technically the inflation will cause the amount to be the same... like as giving everyone 5k kiwi, more money means more specific prices on items. (Say people start off with 50,000 instead of 5k, price of cobblestone lets say would be 20 each instead of 2 each... that extra digit would be like adding decimal points to the end of it when everyone has 5k, allowing more variation)
-Putting way points on the map to make it easier to find places

______________
These are some ideas I would love to be implemented, some being more important than others...
However, I really won't be angry or mad if these are no implemented... Thank you and please consider.

Some good, some bad. I'm thinking we should not give mayors thy cabability, but instead put a toll on its use by premium members. Completely agree with stackable things, just not tools. The auction thing I could care less about just cause I never use it. An now the money. Unfortunately, this would add to the inflation and without a set rate, nobody would know how much to sell what for. This why I made the post in the Server Discussion board called Android's Kiwike Values. I plan to set these rates for the server and approval has been given by Yotta. If you want to know more or want to give a suggestion on that, head on over.

Stacked can't be modded from the server AFAIK and there's a reason food isn't stackable.

I don't get the part with adding time to an auction, that's just not realistic. Auctions happen just like on eg. ebay.

We MAY have some kind of portal teleporting system (with the nether portals), but it will be quite expensive to use if we do implement it.

We will not give people more money to start with, rather much less. We will have ways of creating more money on the server as well as paying money to the "server". Having people start with much money was a bad idea from start, since people in the moment can just join and buy stuff, diamond tools sell for like 1/6 of what they start with. This is not realistic at all.

We will have waypoints on the map, in some form.

Yeah, about the auction thing, i posted somewhere else about a plug-in my friend is making... He's gonna make a system like that: Auction starts 40 secs. new bid = +20 secs. So you don't have last second bids anymore.

**yottabyte** · 01-07-2011, 19:58,

But... but... last second bids is what makes auctions fun ;_;

douwehh · 01-07-2011, 20:10,

For the guy who makes the last bid! But ehh, read your pm's, sended you one Laugh

SirSuba · 01-08-2011, 02:39,

Last bid is fun ^_^ you gotta stay ninja in an auction.

The trick is to be:

About that, i was thinking to have a starting amount that's lower then prices for ground, so they first have to be a soldier or miner (for exmple) for a while and then they can buy a little bit of ground somewhere near the walls, the rich people can buy more expesive ground near the city center for a shop or something like that.

The point of the auction added time is to prevent bid sniping. It allows for the real price to become apparent. If I set something as 200 when it was worth 1000 ppl would notice this and would bid at 200-300ish at last second. This is not fair or realistic competition
