    Suggestion: Don't give town move applications a limit as to how far they can be moved from the point that the original town was created or expand that distance.

    Reason: The town move application restricts you to moving your town only 100 blocks in any direction it is currently at. It costs $200,000 ecodollars to go through with this application and I believe for that price it's a bit odd that there is such a restriction.

    Any Other Information: For example, if someone joined ECC and got to the rank of mayor with the ability to claim their own town, they would most likely go out and find a random, empty piece of land they can move in on. Now a lot of people might not be thinking of trying so hard to find plains or other biomes, they just want a 200x200 town almost anywhere! They also don't think of the fact that someday they may want a nation which is more than one town. So now they realize that the place they put the original town is a horrible spot to continue to expand. It will consume hours of time to clear the land around it or maybe they moved in next to a friend. A president might have placed a town somewhere and then the other in a completely far off location with the mind set that they would never want or need a nation. Then later realizing they do, they can't move the town. This might not be a problem for a low ranking individual but for someone with say 5 or more towns in its nation with that first mayor town way off, it's a much bigger deal. They would much rather want to pay 200k and move that mistake next to their current nation or they might just abandoned/sell the town all together which isn't always cool seeing as how you don't always get a ton of money for selling towns. Another possibility could be the fact that they have two towns close to each other but still just over 100 blocks away. Restricting them, this is my situation. I created my mayor town in a decent area (so I thought) later on once I had fly, I started wandering the area and found plains. Which I set up my president town on, with no intention of having a nation. As an EcoLeader I realize now it would greatly benefit me to have a nation with my towns right next to each other. I would abandoned/sell the mayor town but like I said, it is only a few blocks over 100 so if I were to do that, then it ruin/make my nation awkward. I want my president town to be the center, otherwise I could just go in to another direction. I will do this if I have to but this isn't just about my situation. Nobody ever buys town moves, why ? Because nobody needs to move a town only 100 blocks away!

    It can. Staff currently needs to re-set the whole region, I assume. So why not allow them to move it by an amount of blocks, would make no difference.

    A town move application costs less than making a new town, and is intended for small amounts of land exactly because of that.

    Well, buying towns for that purpose from others would be ineffective because you need to be the original owner. Town transfer app + Town move app + PAyment to the resident/mayor is more than buying a new town.
    For old existing towns you already own, I think it should be possible to fit them in your nation if you planned incorrectly at the beginning.

    Couldn't you buy a resident mayor in exchange for him to put his town where you want and give you ownership for less than half the price?

    You won't be the original owner, then.

    True but how much does it cost to transfer original ownership

    If you notice my situation. My towns are sort of close but not close enough for the town move. Which is frustrating, being an Ecoleader with 4+ makes it a lot more expensive to just claim another town rather then move an existing one.

    If you want to move it far, just do multiple town moves or get a new town. The moves are cheaper than a new town for a reason.

    multiple town moves, I didn't think of that! This thread isn't about price, so please stop talking about it people lol. It's about the small 100 block radius of a move. For a 200x200 town, that isn't much at all.

    I don't see any issues with increasing the length of a move - it should at the very least be 200.

    +1!

    Why not right? The only person that gets the butt-pain is the one who moves the buildings, not the one who moves the region!
