Ok, so why can't you just simply make an island in /warp creative then ... that seems to be similar to what you have presented
Stuff for the Rich
- Thread starter sundae22
- Start date
I guess you could...but as I said, I prefer building in survival because I appreciate the effort more and end up liking the build more
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I don't want a warp to it, I don't want to show it off, I just want a secluded area that I spent millions of dollars on. It'll be, pretty much, a "personal reward" for having $15m+.
I'd rather not build it in the creative world for the following reasons:
1) Literally anyone can, and it won't be a special perk.
2) Anyone can fly around the creative world and see it, and the whole point is to have a secluded refuge.
3) I believe Coban was looking for special things for rich players, and having very expensive islands that you can't make a profit on is a decent perk for multimillionaires.
4) Staff members can't do some commands in creative mode to help others, like /welcome, /request next, /request close, etc.
But yeah, building it in creative is the closest thing to this idea. It just wouldn't be special, and this idea is.
I know the point of this is to make it special, but won't this idea make other islands 'not special' ......
NO! As the other islands can be profitable these cannot and are just a luxury you can have for being very rich!
I think a lot players are missing the fact that, players will buy these 'private islands' and ignore Normal ones. Everyone is making a big deal about the regioning part, but lets be real, there aren't many islands with space to region at all. What I said was kind of rhetorical, and this truly will affect all islands. I know this island idea is for the 'uber rich', but islands can still be bought, I'm pretty sure foxier is for sale ....
I %100 agree with sundae's idea, as this would not only make the rich happy, it would decrease the value of islands a bit aswell, but personally i believe islands are WAY overpriced already due to their rarity, i have been looking for one for ages and i have more than enough money for one and the thing is that i dont want to region it i want it to myslef to enjoy, island owners would disagree with this because it devalues their islands, but i think that having this idea would be amazing to myself and 3 of my other friends who are millionares as well and only want that, of course there might be even more players that want this that i dont know of, i absolutly love this idea!
island owners do disagree because we are biased, but to be fair anyone with over 5mil will support this to obtain an island. I'm not going to argue, but this probably won't be added because there is no scenario where this ends well for the economy
Refer back to the.. set selling price. This means that.. you can sell it for as much as you bought it for/cost of the transfer. This means that.. there is no profit. At all. Literally none. I've been trying to convey this the entire time, sorry if it was unclear.
Please just take a look and see what everyone else is trying to point out to you. This is not a good idea.
I dont know if u noticed but devaluing the economy is what we need, everything is already too expensive im not talking about islands only, literally everything! a 15x15 plot apparently is worth 70k! a couple months ago it was for 20k if not less, regioning more land would decrease value of plots to the price they should be, explain this to me; a new player has to make 70k using normal jobs in order to get a very small empty plot, as a new player that could take weeks, having more land like this would not only satisfy the rich but also the poor, the only people that are unsatisfied by this idea are island owners as this will decrease the value of your islands but if you ask me having a couple people mad to make (almost) everyone else happy is a compromise that should happen, and also it islands will still be VERY special because unlike the plots sundae is talking about islands can be regioned, sold for a profit etc etc.
If by everyone else you mean island owners then that is correct
Everyone else being people that this would mainly affect and people commenting on this post, I'm not talking about you or other people who want islands but don't see what would happen if this happened.
No, No, No; people are disregarding my points about how this is just exacerbating the current Eco crisis and ignoring why its in crisis at the moment. Private islands make money in resale and doing this breaks the whole point in all your arguments. Islands are not overpriced because of their rarity and how they were originally done. This is only going to benefit people like sundae and does nothing to help the overall econ. I've been studying affects of all this stuff and this is negative.
Honestly I think they shouldnt region more, plus Ive heard some islands are trying to be deleted what more do you think they will region more, if you have a problem with plots we have NewCity to region plots on and islands is not an alternative to it nor can it be for it is a rare big piece of land. Private islands are actually worth more to behonest with you all. As private islands have more potential than populated ones with a bunch of properties and such. Life is like that, everyone cant have what they want, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Doing this to make everyone happy will only lead in to a dystopian society where people see verything needed to be perfect but life isnt like that and we werent meant to be perfect nor should McCities. You can get close but, when you go up the happyness scale the only way you will go is down. Ok fine region some islands I mean didnt that happen before, the owners had to delete plots reset everyones economy. You can go ahead but in the end you will only destroy the server you love. You work hard, you look hard, money isnt everything, these are personal tangible items you have and so are islands. Ill also give you this, islands are like countries, there are only a limited amount, you think you can just spawn one out of nowhere in the middle of the ocean just so you can say you got this cool thing. I in fact own islands but, I worked hard for those, not only money wise but still being alive and not trying to tear down a whole city in the long term. I want an explanation that will benefit everyones side and not only you people who DEMAND for more islands.
If you look at the title, this is "stuff for the rich." It won't benefit everyone, obviously. Just a select few. Coban has been saying that he's looking into things for the rich, since mansions/skyscrapers get quite boring (for me, anyways).
And I don't know how many times I have to say it. There will be no plots regioned on the island. There will be a set. Selling. Price. This includes forsale and resell. There will be no profit. Nooooo profit. It doesn't matter how valuable it is, you can only resell it for a certain price. No profit. There would be a set selling price.
I just don't see how this will devalue other islands/"ruin the economy." It makes no sense. These islands will make no profit and will be something for the rich to buy and build their dream estates on. It's only a handful of plots, maybe only 5 people could afford one right now? And a lot of people wouldn't even buy these, as there would be no profit and no regioned plots on the island. It's a feature that only the rich can have access to.
good point tho an island is an island. They are still pretty rare. If i got 1 or if ever, I dont have plans to make profit but still there should be a separate thing like. lets say 5 is regioned and that means 5 more islands which could devalue the rarity of islands. and making islands wont solve housing for the poor. regioning plots to a fair size is
