I have a proposal for a two-part plan that will improve the server's economy, add a bit of fun, and strengthen the community.

First, the /sell command value of wool should be set to $.1.

Second, a competition (winner decided by popular vote) to see who can build the best 3d (not pixel art, voxel art) thing or structure. There could be prizes for the top few winners. Prizes could be EcoMoney, items, titles, it really doesn't matter, as long as the prizes are sufficient to guarantee a high rate of participation.

The economic improvement will come from players buying wool at a loss. If they buy it for $.3 from the server store and can only sell it for $.1, then $.2 has been removed from the EcoMoney supply. This deflationary tactic will result in an increase in the demand for EcoDollars. The more valuable EcoDollars are, the more likely people will be to donate for them. If players choose not to buy wool, because of the price difference, they will be forced to harvest it. Such an action will result in many new players finding employment as wool harvesters. The heightened employment of new players will result in a better distribution of EcoDollars (fewer super-rich players, more wealthy and well-to-do players).

The fun will be in the building and the competition. Obviously, everyone will try to do it by themselves; however, a team of builders will have a significant advantage over any individual. A pool of building skill, harvesting capability, and money is always better than an individual. If the competition has a long enough life-span, say the voting took place 3 weeks after the competition was announced, then the things people could build would be monumental.

The community will be strengthened because these new structures will make the server more appealing to new members. Also, the voting and discussion that comes from the competition will promote interaction between players.

It is my belief that such a plan will produce positive results for everyone, from owner to builder.
