    Suggestion:Lower the portal price to a certain amount.

    Reason:Ok I know that towns are now in high demand but comon 75K for a portal?
    That's a ridiculous price for one.That's nearly as much as getting a town in the first place,I thought that getting a portal to your town would be a lot cheaper maybe half of what a town costs.The numbers seem to not add up to me.

    Any Other Information:Its just a suggestion so please dont hate me :p

    People are getting money like mad, so we raised the prices a bit.
    It won't go lower.

    People aren't "getting money like mad," anymore... If you haven't noticed, prices on everything are going up and people are still [barely] managing to buy things. I don't think portal price should go up. At least, not nearly that much...

    Portals prices higher = less portals = less big towns = less happy mayors/presidents/tycoons = unhappy server
    Am I the only one who connects the dots on these?

    Portal prices higher = more money going out of the economy = deflation on an inflated economy = balanced economy = happy server.

    However, I have stated in another thread that I think the deflation is going too fast already, but that's beside the point. :p My point here is that there are benefits to raising the price sometimes.

    I dunno about this whole inflation deflation stuff. I just end up thinking of a balloon with "economy" written on the side. I am only 14 so.. Yeah. At least someone else connects dots :)

    lol. I never thought of it like that xD
    Yeah, I have a fair understanding of Minecraft economies, (Not real economies, lol.) so I have a basic understanding that's good enough to state my opinion on balancing it. :p

    Many big towns actually don't want portals. Big towns are usually very pretty, and very limited to who can join and who can even view. [: I see the portal price as too high right now, but we also have a lot of portals... The more portals we have, the slower spawn gets. Spawn is already amazingly slow and no one can even find the portal they are looking for. xD

    Seconded on spawn lag. What could we do to make it less laggy?
