    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Builder Ranks
    What are you suggesting:
    Have a new set of ranks specifically for building. To start out you have to build xyz lets say a medieval castle. Then to rankup again you have to build lets say a alien space ship. Each rankup would be reviewed by a staff member to have it approved.

    Each rankup would have a different set of requirements and difficulties that could involve specific blocks as well as working with a partner to rankup.

    It could be in one's town or a specific area outlined similar to the events plots.

    The ranking could be in a specific order but with the names of different style builds such as Medieval, Futuristic, Aztec, Ancient Greek, Roman Egyptian etc.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It will add something new for players to do in the main server. As well as create a whole new set of objectives to achieve.
    Other information:
    It shouldn't be too hard to setup a new rank and would really encourage players to participate in new goals in the main server.
    Plugin or custom addition:
    N/A
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    How come not in main? It would bring more players back to main. If its left as is it will only go down hill even farther, this way it gives another way of keeping your build while still in survival.

    I like the idea but honestly like Jamie said in discord this would be better for creative not main.
    -1 main
    +1 creative

    -1, the main server is an Economy Server. Not a creative server, as Pad said, I think this would fit a lot greater with Creative.
    I understand people like to build, but we don't need more ranks / symbols on our names, they're long enough as is.

    I understand Builds whole idea behind this is to give more players incentive to play on main. I also feel that this could be incorporated fairly easy by providing build examples that need to be completed with the possible reward being that a change of color on the builder title be given. Possibly an additional trophy or even medal if completion of all required builds is met?
    If this is not approved by the server, an energetic and resourceful town owner could possibly provide financial rewards for completion (cough...builds...cough). I even bet that there are other players (cough...me...cough) that would be willing to donate to such a worthy cause.

    As a fellow builder, I think this would be good for creative. Start with a select number of blocks, then each rank up you get more
    -1 Main
    +1 Creative

    Honestly I don't like the idea as a means of ranking up, and ESPECIALLY not for creative.

    How exactly can you be "creative" if you're given limited blocks until you can build a specific thing? You're gonna effectively scare away creative players who want to build anything that isn't the specified object.

    I like the idea of build-based progress towards rewards, the problem is that it's pretty much always subjective and that always screws somebody.

    Yeah, that is true. I was thinking of it being an additional rank that gives you nothing other than the title. Sort of like the nether star chest award on the forums.

    What a coincidence, I was actually talking to Jamie last night about something like this on the future creative server... But, its a deffo -1 for main. This would just throw off the whole system of things and add more work on, and why specific builds? +1 for creative, but I feel it should be free reign but have requirements that change every month or so...

    We won't be adding more ranks to Main. It would be unnecessary bloat that not many would be interested in.
