claiming land??

i have a "base" in the wilderness just a few km from spawn. actually i've put a significant amount of effort into it and i was wondering how to apply for protection. in total it probably covers a 60x40 area (sky limit to bedrock). i'm not at all familiar with the server policies on this type of thing and i checked to see if this had already been discussed but couldn't find anything. i was just wondering if it was possible, and if so then how much it would cost in in-game economy and how to apply.

ty in advance guys ^.^

5000 freeds for 50x50 zone, so you need 6000 to get a 60x60 which will cover your entire area. You can also donate 20$ for a free 50x50 and then only have to pay 1000 freeds for a 60x60. You get 2000 freeds for 20$ donation aswell, so it's already payed for if you donate.

so once i come up with the cash do i just send you a pm of the x y coords? i'd rather not post them publicly. and tyvm for the super speedy reply mate

Just tell a mod in game to tp to you.

kk new question sorta but its in the same vein so i figure it doesn't warrant a new thread. what about smaller increments? like could i get a 20x20 plot for 2000 or even a 10x10 for 1000? probly a stupid question but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Wait, 60*40 is 100 blocks less than 50*50, so just pay for the 50*50 and set it to that area rather than waste the extra 1000...

right but im just wondering. i mean say i want a 33x33 plot. can i get it for 3300? or does land have to be bought in specific increments?

I dunno I think the minimum is usually 50*50 odd, but the way the current prices are worked out is retarded really. For instance, going up by 1000 per 10*10, 100*100 is 10,000 Freed, and 50*50 is 5000- Even though 100*100 is actually four times the size it's only twice the price.
Me and Ninja were discussing ages ago that we should really find out the exact number of blocks then times it by two or three to get the actual price. This way 50*50 would be 5000 because 50*50=2500 and 2500*2=5000, so it's the same price as before; however using this method 100*100 is 20,000 Freeds which is four times as much, (100*100=10,000 10,000*2=20,000).
Pat really needs to change the method, because as it is, it is much cheaper to use the Freeds you get from donation money to buy huge zones more so than donating in the first place- when it comes to the larger zones. Adiezyn for example wanted 400*400 for $80 odd, pat said no and that it should be $120 odd; according to the current 10*10 rule it'd only cost 40,000 which is equivalent to $40.

Bob thats was more confusing than needed

Meh, hes just trying to express the area based math behind the plotting Gregory.

I agree bob that your logic is correct, only increasing by a thousand freeds for a extra 10x10 it can add up to a really high number of area quickly. after all, 5k more = 4x area.

But for it to be at 5,000 freeds for a 50x50 is kindof high to begin with, I figure this is to "keep noobs" from being able to zone. I figure anyone with the IQ to obtain 5,000 freeds deserves the discount for the later transactions to add on. After all, They will likely build something epic if they spent thousands of freeds for a area.

thats very well put.. i concur XD

Originally, the pricing system was put in place to promote large cities. (price per block goes down as size increases) We are rethinking this policy.

You could always put it to a vote lol..... but i think you already get plenty of chaos so prolly not a good idea haha

Personally I think if the system is changed, it should have some benefits to help foster large towns, but it should also not be not damaging for individual players.

whatever you guys are going to decide, could you do eet soon? i got 6.5k that i'd really like to put toward a plot of protected land soon.
