    Suggestion:
    Be able to apply to move a town for $250,000 ECD(no more than 100 blocks in any direction)

    Reason:
    When I first started out on ECC and bought my first town, I made a mistake in the way I placed my town, by placing it in a bad position with little room to expand. Now, this was my ignorance, but now that I own the original town I started out in on the server, I would like to move it.

    Any Other Information:
    Now hear me out here. I'm not talking about moving a town thousands of blocks to another area or move a whole town. Rather, just move the region. The way my town sits now, it looks a little something like this:

    [​IMG]

    All I would like to be able to do is move Preston over to fit into a 400x400 area so I can have a 400x400 town. I think this would help keep towns organized/become organized.

    I do believe there should be an application and a fee, like when Andrew had the limited time World Edit applications up for $100,000 ECD, similar to this:

    Code:
    [b]IGN[/b]:
[b]Do you have the applicable cost in your balance[/b]:
[b]How did you make the funds for this application. (Lying will result in a ban)[/b]:
[b]How many towns do you currently originally/officially own[/b]:
[b]Provide links for your previous town/transfer apps[/b]:
[b]What is the name of the town you are moving[/b]:
[b]Which world is this town in (Legacy/Rising)[/b]:
[b]Provide the link to this town's application[/b]:
[b]Who is the current original/official town owner of this town[/b]:
[b]What are your future plans with this town[/b]:
[b]Have you read the above town moving rules and understand the severe consequences of not following them[/b]:
[b]Additional information about your town moving[/b]:
[b]The GameAdmins handle applications at least once a week. Do not constantly ask staff to do your application. We can see there are outstanding applications and handle them when we are able to. As well, after payment has been taken your changes are not instant, please wait patiently as they are applied. All users must be aware they will be fined for an improper application. Take extra care when applying for various server features. By agreeing to this you are agreeing to abide by and accept the possible consequences of everything listed in this section[/b]:
    Along with my suggestion, there should be some rules (as with any application) so things don't get out of hand.
    If more things come to my attention that I feel need to be added, I will edit the post with more information.

    I like this idea, but, it could cause some world generation to be offset. Do you mean move the region? Or move the region and the contents of the region.

    Just the region, when you apply the town has to be empty (that way no World Edit is needed). You're basically just moving the town borders, not the land or anything.

    I think I like this idea, but I'm not sure if copy/pasting with //we would be best nor the easiest. I'm all on board though since you want just the region moved. It's a great idea, especially since I'd like some towns moved of my own :)

    However, to prevent so many people from doing this unnecessarily, I feel the owner of the town being moved needs to meet 2 requirements:
    1. Be the original owner. Either through application, town transfer application, or town claim application
    2. Be able and willing to pay $100,000

    Me want. Me want. Until now I am living in the fear that somebody might place a town next to me and I can't finish my 400x400...even if I'd buy it, it would be misplaced. So...WE. NEED. THIS. Even if it costs a fortune... @_@

    I like this idea, but I think you would have to redo the whole region in order for it to work. +1

    I've seen World Edit mentioned a few times, and it has been stated many times that World Edit applications/requests will not be done, and very little to no chance of ever being reinstated. However, I may not be reading correctly as I have done this in the past.

    I think that the region protections should just be removed, and be addedto wherever it has been applied to be moved to. This way, it is your responsibility to move everything and no world edit is needed.

    Firstly, I would like to point out that WorldEdit is incredibly sensitive, and can break things if used improperly. This being the case, any edits to town can be quite disastrous if done incorrectly.

    Now, onto the suggestion:

    As actually moving the town is quite dangerous, I would think that the actual region itself would have to be moved instead. But before this process could be handled, I would imagine that all town residents would have to be evicted beforehand, so that issues could be avoided. I won't go into detail, but actually WorldEditing an area to a different position actually leaves the lwc where it was. Meaning, all locked chests within the new town position would be removed, and the blocks on which items were locked are now bugged, until there is a block update next to it.

    Other than that, +1

    Lwc remembers which block it was protected on, not the region. Until a block update comes around, it'll stay locked.

    I agree with monkey above ^

    I have read suggestions like this before and correct me if I'm wrong but it was mentioned before the server needs to be restarted every time this is done. I think that's the reason it was denied but I may be wrong.

    In my opinion $250,000 is a lot to put down just to move some region. I think for that much world edit should be instated. And on the lwc problem, I don't think this should be done unless there could be someway that they could move with the region they are attached to or all of the lwc's would have to be removed first. Other than that, this is a pretty good idea and is better than what we have now (which is nothing).

    That was the general idea to just move the region, not the land. Just shove the borders over.
