    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Auction for Spawn Town Warps
    What are you suggesting:
    Hey everyone!

    I’d like to suggest a new system that could help encourage town development, healthy competition, and server economy participation: auctioning a limited number of official /warp spots (in the form of a portal) to player-owned towns.

    How It Works:

    Each month, the server holds an auction for a small number of special /warp spots (e.g., 3-5).

    These warps lead directly to the towns of the highest bidders.
    .

    The warp remains active until the next auction cycle.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    ✅ Benefits:

    Promotes active towns: Towns have an incentive to grow, stay active, and show off their builds.

    Stimulates the economy: Players have a new reason to earn money or trade resources. Also since it is an auction, will remove a lot of ECD from the economy.

    Improves navigation: New players can easily find active towns and engage with communities.

    Server engagement: Adds a fun, recurring event for players to look forward to.
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:

    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    EDIT: To prevent it from just becoming shops, there can be 3 (or more) separate auctions, one for a plot town, one for a shop, one for a farm etc etc, and the warps must lead to the town type specified by that auction.

    Hmm I’d to a step further and make it so there’s a separate auction for Mayor and below towns and another one for Pres+ so newer players also get to show off

    The whole town or the specific player?

    like if Town1 that I own wins in November then I can only submit Town2 for December. Or like if I win in November I can’t win in December?

    Town+owner

    so revan wins for november ads her town Wolf Claw for new player plots

    revan cannot participate/win December ads for category new player plots.
    Edit: even if she owns multiple new player plot towns. she cannot enter them in the auction
    +No other owners can submit Wolf Claw for the category either

    Ryan is an owner of towns Wolf Claw and Sweet trades. He can participate/win December ads for category player shop with town Sweet trades.

    This makes sense. +1. Also I find it hilarious how many iterations of Wolf Valley come up as you forget the town name lol
