To get the money, I would recommend buying a farm permission you can ask around in chat if anyone is selling
@GameStreakerz I can sell my town to you for 35k Im trying my hardest to get mayor (Sadly I only get 4-5k a day....)
You apply for Mayor in the Residents+ section. It will ask you where you plan to make the town. If you make signs at each corner, and post their coordinates in your application, you should be good. If there's any towns within 15 blocks that are not your own, you'll need to get their permission, however.
Once you are a Resident or higher, you may apply for it at a rate of $5,000 a week. This is from 4-10 weeks at a time for as long as you would like. Also, this thread is getting way offtopic. If you wish to ask more questions, /pm me ingame or post on my profile.
All a matter of taste. Anyway, to get this thread back on topic, I am curious as to what will happen to Lancaster. @BlazeInfinite, @Limee, and @Samanthurr might have ideas ;-;
Yea, Lancaster is a beautiful town. Its a shame no one is running it anymore :/ I would like to make a city like that, but sadly Im no where close to Mayor xD
I am still currently selling plots in the towns of Southcaster and Lancaster. Funny, I've been advertising a lot today. Lol
Updated to bring the original post current to 1.9 and changes in the server over time. Still a good guide, though.
