Minecraft Name: alecsloan11 Suggestion: Pigs allowed in the main world Reason: I believe pigs should be allowed in the mainworld, because of the 1.4 update where pigs are essentially cars. Pig races could be implemented, creating an event where players could place bets, or just compete and have fun whilst adding possibilities to the economy. Other Information: Pig auto spawning and Pig breeding could be disabled so that pig count does not get to excessive and are kept a rarity, and pig spawn eggs could be sold for 4-5k each also making them a rarity
This sounds fun, but I'm thinking that it won't happen. D: It would, at least, be fun to see Andrew use pig riding as an event for shinies and prizes. Not all of the time, but something random like with his other fun games.
This suggestion was briefly mentioned by myself and several others here recently, and I believe one should note the suggestion of the link itself as it should be assessed and reviewed alongside this one. Nevertheless, I believe it's about time someone chose to add a thread like this own, seeing as several appear to be in favour of the suggestion. I am in complete support of allowing pigs in the main world - saddles have currently an underestimated use within Ecocitycraft, and allowing pigs in the main world would indeed raise the prices of saddles, perhaps even by several thousands. Only the richest, however, should have the ability to ride pigs around town, but it would essentially be brilliant. A few minor ideas I have sketched - firstly, pigs should not be able to be placed in the spawn, market or such areas. For this, the moderators could develop a way to make egg placement only available in certain towns - so you can ride through towns with pigs, but you cannot place a pig in a protected town. This I find could benefit some areas, and perhaps egg placement can itself become a donation/town feature that must be paid for. Also, I would consider the idea of "driving licenses" - a player should, in my view, have to pay $50k Ecodollars to be able to ride a pig, so pigs are kept a rarity. The theft of saddles on unmounted pigs may become a problem. The murder of pigs might be wished for by many, given their rarity, and people could attempt to kill pigs, for what are to be valuable saddles, when unattended. And, if the pig de-spawns, it could come at a heavy cost for its owner. How to solve these problems should be outlined clearly. I ask, how much would gaining a pig costs? If we say a saddle will be worth $5,000 (given the fact that they're rare and will be worth lots when they do come out, perhaps with few in stock and prices increasing daily), and my suggestion of a driving license being $50,000, alongside pig eggs being $5,000 as was originally suggested in Alec's original idea, one can safely assume a cost of $60,000 just to be able to get a pig, and if one should have to get a new pig, it would cost $10,000 at a time. Now, note, if this was to happen, it would come at a great cost, and many may just assume it is best to walk than use pigs. As for pig placement abilities, that I am unsure on what prices the greater public would suggest. I leave you open to respond to my extension of the suggestion, and, of course, to respond to what I have outlined as minor flaws.
This would be great and all, BUT the is one big problem and this will stop it ever happening, LAG....
