    Suggestion:
    Add more voting sites.:
    Reason:
    I have done some research, and have came to the conclusion that adding more voting sites will create a larger community on EcoCityCraft. With more sites stating our name, we are bound to have more and more traffic on our server. When you see our banner on a voting website, it intrigues users to come and see what we are made of. The more sites, the larger our community, the closer we are to #1.

    Along these lines of reasoning, I understand that with more voting sites, it will dwindle our major Nether star economy. To fix the economy problem, I had to think about what would be affected by these Nether star changes.


    • In the Star shop, we will have to double the cost of each of our unobtainable items or Nether star /sell prices will be cut in half.
    • In the Food shop, we will have to double the cost of each of our food items.
    These changes will create an even harder economy for these items. Due to the fact that, less users are going to vote on all 12 Voting sites daily. Which brings me to my next topic, monthly voting.

    Monthly voting will now change and make it harder for users to gain the top gift card prizes. From what I know, our top voters are normally only a few votes off from their other voting competitors. These changes will create more of a gap because missing one day of voting will result in 12 Nether stars that have been lost. I know that 12 votes may sound like a laboring about, but voting shouldn't be about that. Support your server and vote as much as you possibly can.

    I understand that these are some major changes, and will be hard to get into, but overall it will help our server become larger and stronger than ever before.

    Any Other Information: N/A

    I don't think it would be necessary to cut prices on stars AND double the cost unobtainables, pick one. Plus, anyone with as little personal motivation as me would attest to how obnoxious it is to vote on 6 sites as it is. I understand it would bring a lot more attention to the server but I'm not sure the ends would justify the means.

    no.

    Ecc isnt even on the top page for half of the voting sites last time i checked. This will probably make no significant difference to the amount of users we get. Even if it does the value of nstars will drop a huge amount if we add more voting sites, its finally going up i dont want to see it go back down. I think the server is just fine with 6 voting sites. Adding too many sites will cause people to not vote on them all, it feels like a chore to vote for all 6 everyday as it is.

    I wonder what a person who has 1400 nether stars stored up and is waiting to buy / vote for 100 more to get a nether star item would think, nether star items are already hard enough to get.

    Based upon the amount of votes for their top servers on all the sites, they seem to be start-up voting website with a low visitor count. Adding ECC wouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't really being a significant amount of people to the server. Plus, it would do more harm economically if you chose to add netherstars as a reward for voting on all those sites.

    I would just add it as an optional form of voting. 12 sites would be too overwhelming anyways. :p

    We used to have votes that gave no rewards at all and were there strictly for the sake of supporting the server. I think the new sites should be treated like those. There would be no harm to any part of the economy, and we'd only gain from listing those on the voting page.

    What about adding them and making it so only 6 of the sights gave stars and it would be random each day / week

    We already have enough voting sites and adding more would mean more in-game rewards, which leads to more star tools that will add more money to the economy. We are currently trying to avoid an inflation.

    So remove the sell price of stars or lower it simple just makes the tools worth less because there slightly easier to get and not just the really wealthy can afford them
    Reason I don't have the tools.. Too much money in one item to scam

    Yeah, Andrew took two off the list. They were dying and/or not bringing in enough users. So I do not think putting ECC on more sites will do us any good.

    I take back my previous comment.

    We need more voting sites, not less.
