Minecraft Name: ASauerPatchKid Suggestion: Open up a more diverse Town Claim system, like Presidents+can "annex" in old towns for like 50-75k after owners have been inactive for 9 months-a year with a limit of course of say two per rank up. Lots of towns are ghost towns, or ruins. But the Tycoon+ rank claims are too expensive to claim old towns that don't have magnificent structures. In the market anything less you can't even break even. But because of the superiority of the Tycoon+ town claims there would be an imposed longer inactivity rule. Reason: All the towns are inactive and could have potential but aren't worth 100-150k to claim. It would also be another effective way of draining excess money out of the economy, while getting towns built up again, that otherwise would be "ECC Ruins". Any Other Information:
+1 I know of several rather junky towns I'd claim if I could (either dumps or poorly named etc), but refuse to use my personal town claim as it is reserved, as you stated, for more valuable towns with good structures or lots of monetary value right off the bat. I think it should be more towards the $75k, i'd even pay 100k to be honest, as even tycoon+ town claims rarely sell that low. So I'd say if they're offline for over 9 months or banned this lesser claim would be great!!! MAKE ECC GREAT AGAIN
I don't think town claims need to be or should be expanded. Ever, really, although especially for the forseeable future.
