AndrewKM Lowered the price today. Hopefully forever and ever and ever. There are just way too many pumpkin farms on the server, and they make waaaaay too much money. :)

 

Please just dont drop even more.........Otherwise pumpkin farms will become worthless

 

Pumpkin was the only way to make money. Too much was being added to the economy from Pumpkins. And it was not balanced. That was a problem. Towns are supposed to be towns, not farms. They are not called "farms," they are called "towns..." Andrew is not changing Pumpkins back. :b

Pumpkins brought in way too much money. There should never be only one method of making money. Lottery is not a method to make money nor should it ever be used to make money. It's for rich people to have fun.

Wheat and especially Sugarcane have been raised. You and many others seem to assume Andrew just nerfed Pumpkins without doing anything else... He isn't stupid; he made more of a balance. More, equal methods. Less of one thing, more of many things. Even if they still aren't in perfect balance, we need a huge change in what people are doing for money.

I agree mining prices should go up... One thing at a time, though. Sugarcane was barely in use, and now with the price increase I'm hoping to see people using it again after several months of no use.

Also... why are people not obsidian farming when it is just as good or better than the pumpkin farming before the price decrease? I'm still baffled. :/

 

I say shame on them for playing the lotto. Losing at lotto does not mean we must have a way to support lotto loosings.

Need a sink? How about no lottery and a 1.5% transaction tax on the sender and receiver of a transaction, with receiver having to confirm of course. This will also stop /pay spamming.

 

Ffs I just made a huge pumpkin farm!

 

I guess I may go back to mining :(

 

This should be a good change for the economy.

 

Perhaps pumpkin farming wouldn't be soo big if the prices for other things weren't so high. For example to become a mayor takes 85k. Maybe this should be lowered to 50k or something.

I wonder if this will lead to obsidian farms. I saw a mod say in the server that they are not allowed, but it is not defined in the servers rules on the website.

 

AWESOME! this is what i was hoping would happen

It is 85 K BECAUSE of pumpkin farming.

 

So this move means that instead of making the 20k+ an hour, I will now only make 15k an hour (I have enchanted repair and eff 5 axe, not everyone can do this). Not a huge deal. I dont like seeing values in commodities (Pumpkins,Wheat) decrease while inflating the cost of services (Mayor app, world edit, portals). I have everything that I want in most of my towns now but for those trying to get what they want it becomes more time consuming. With this price change and the addition of McMMO back into the server the most profitable form of farming (In my opinion) is now Wheat farms that are manually cleared.

 

I said I MAY go back to mining. Or I might just still farm :p

 

I was told by Andrewkm that there is NO chance of the price's going back up, for the same reasons as cactus farming. Too much money too fast, causes lag, and its supposed to be a Hardcore Economy Server, and not an easy one.

Also, don't switch to wheat even though its more expensive(1,75 as opposed to 1.50) because pumpkins don't require reseeding, we already have our farms, and they grow 3 times faster.

 

Prices on everything are going up due to pumpkin farms bringing in too much money. People could make President in a 1-2 days. It should take more like a week or two. Not supposed to be easy. :b

Obsidian farms are allowed. And obsidian farm is someone with a water bucket and a pool of lava, "farming"/mining all of the obsidian they keep creating. There is nothing against it; I don't know who said otherwise. What is not allowed is automatic obsidian generators/creators - however, generators should be disabled and not even work. Long as nothing is automatic and you keep placing water and mining yourself, nothing is wrong. [:

 

Someone should lock this soon, its pointless. they aren't going back up.

 

My god. I just bought an eff V axe and give $100 usd, real actual money straight to @Andrewkm and he nerfs it. Money wasted. In any case, wheat should be nerfed not pumpkin. With high herblore levels wheat replants iteself plus is destroyed in one hit no tools. Plus you need an eff V axe and speed pots to farm pumpkinsn effectively. With wheat you spend less money and get more. I am confuzzled. Why do people buy $100 e repairs? To make money in game. This is just Frustrating

 

That arguement deserves a different thread... But I would support it!
