I'm going to have to disagree with this suggestion, I'm sorry. I joined this server specifically because it WASN'T a pvp server, but an economy server. I know this might make me unusual to some people, but it's true.

I also have to say that subdividing the world would only cause more problems with starting members. Think of it this way, a builder logs on, goes to the mining world and dies because all of the more experienced members have better gear, and then goes to the main world to build a home their. When they go to build a home, they find out that they can't because the area is subdivided.

I see a lot of posts on these threads saying that they though hardcore economy definitely meant pvp. Hardcore economy means no such thing. If anything, it implies that people will not 'get rich quick' by joining the server. I have found this true in every sense of the word. As a six month member, I can say that this is still a hardcore economy. It might not be what you picture, but that doesn't mean that it is.

Also, hardcore economy and hardcore survival are two different things. Hardcore economy implies that, like I stated above, the server's main focus is the economy. Hardcore survival states that there isn't really an economy but rather a 'kill other people to get their stuff' society. I don't want to be a part of that kind of server.

The issue of ereps hasn't come up yet, so I'll state that making the mining world PvP would probably make asking for ereps a taboo. After all, if you're in the mining and don't have multihome, you don't want to leave your spot to get an erep in the main world. Instead, you would ask for someone to tp to you in mining. That person comes, see's that you have good gear, and kills you. You can't even report it, because PvP is allowed.

I don't want to start any arguments or ruffle anyone's feathers, but this is my take on the matter. Take it or leave it how you will. I love this server how it is, don't see any problems with it, and I don't really want it to change. I can see where all of your arguments for this stemmed, but I have to say most of it was from misconceptions about what hardcore economy meant.

The star tool suggestion is completely ridiculous in my eyes though. Not everyone has a star tool, because they're so expensive. If you drive the price up only the elite would be able to afford. All in all, your plans seem like a 'take from the poor and give to the rich' scheme. All of your plans only help those already established in the server, and only push away builders. The last thing this server needs is to discourage and drive away new players.

 

Oh... actually I wasn't aware of that I've been living at the bottom of a pond ._. This actually answers alot more questions I had about the recent increase in log checking. But i still stand by my previous statements about the suggestion.

 

I agree that ECC should have something new to add a twist for the players, but PVP in mining world just seems like a bad idea to me.

 

+1
I agree. There isn't much you can do about SG though.

Maybe add.. (I'll think of something to add later)

 

if you read @Dr_Dragon_Slayer what i wrote about 1 mining world without pvp should have lesser resources in it if this is doable.. and the pvp world more resources in it. diamond's-emeralds-lapis- etc etc. not sure if that is possible. and if they redo the usage of recources that would make them more needed for crating, then pvp world would also have more players in it. risk vs reward type of thing. that what was i meant. so it should attract players into pvp area.
But you will never ever get evry player into an pvp area, some do not like pvp and will avoid it at all cost. making only 1 mining world that have pvp, i am afraid the server will loose players instead of gaining them. this is not an hardcore pvp server(planety of thoose) but hardcore economic's server, and i hope the server will continue into that direction. I also think we should have pvp but it should be chooseable not forceable.

 

And also, since when is 261 50 percent of 24,000? lol.
