Denied [Main Server Suggestion] Getting Rid of AFK Rules

In Game Name:

What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:

Main Server​

Short title for your suggestion:

Getting Rid of AFK Rules​

What are you suggesting:

Taking away all rules that don't allow you to be afk.​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

I am here today to present the idea of getting rid of all AFK rules, in real life I am a full-time employee, but I have a side gig that is a passive way of making cash. EVERYONE is always looking for a way to make a dollar while they are asleep, I think if we were able to give people a chance to do this in ECC we would see an increase in players being interested in trying to make a boat load of cash, this would allow more money to flow through the economy, spark more interest in the game for people who are not able to grind for hours a day, allow for more grand/expensive building to be done, and would show more players on the log throughout the day. I feel that if someone wants to run their pc 10-12 hours a day making money somehow passively, they should be more then welcome too.

Thank you for your time​

I Understand.​

 

enlighten me on how the economy is broken right now?

 

I disagree completely And the reason for that being, Compared to shopdb and block shop prices, /sell hand is already super far behind. I don’t think afking would have as great of an effect as you paint it to be.

 

Block shop prices have already increased, by at-least 3x what they used to be. That didn’t cause an economy crash… sell hand prices are low in comparison to the current market value anyways, so that wouldn’t have to change. Nstar prices are super low as well, wouldn’t hurt for them to go up. I just really don’t think that it would affect the economy as bad as you think. I think making afking legal would increase the economy just like winterfest, maybe not quite as much, but it would be a similar effect. And I don’t think that was a bad economy to play in, it was quite fun. Money was rolling everywhere, people were into it bigtime, and for the server to stick around, that’s the kind of economy we need.

 

because this server needs something, something to make new players stick around. It seems like they just come and go, and this may not be the answer to the problem, but there needs to be an answer fast because we need new players involved in this economy. Or there’s going to just be elites, and it seems as if we are already almost there. I love this server, and I want to enjoy it with new people and see it prosper. But for some reason the new people/new generations are not attracted, and we need to find a way to attract that group and keep them coming.

 

I feel like there could be a balance, right now there’s no balance, either you play and make money or you don’t play at all. I feel like there could be a player wipe (if it’s possible) every few hours to eliminate 24/7 grinding. There’s ways we can balance the game play, it might be tricky to figure out, but Im very confident that if we found the middle ground it would be well worth it because we would bring in a whole new group of players.

 

I re-joined right before winterfest had started, Lost my old acct log in and had to make a new one. Got very invested into it during winterfest. And so did many others, but many others also lost interest not long after the event was over. That was an economy that I really loved to play in, and I wish it could be similar all the time. I feel like if someone figured out how to bring something similar back it would be very helpful for this server. But maybe my wishes will never come true, and it might not even be feasible.

 

I disagree my friend, the economy is not as brittle as you may think. The server took away one of the biggest expenses to the players ever (taxes) used to take 100s of millions of dollars (if not more) out of the economy each year, now we have that floating in the economy and I have noticed little to no difference. Allowing afking would have a much lower impact on our economy than that ever will, especially if we can find a way to moderate it. Being afk for a few hours at a time whether it be, farming, fishing, mob grinding, etc, will not turn this economy upside down.
