You realize the amount of chunks someone could get would quickly just be so insanely high they'd flood up the wild world? Even if you played only 2 hours a day you'd have 14 chunks to claim in a week, and just imagine each and every person claimed 14 chunks in the wild world every single week. Even with 20 players that's 280 chunks one week, 560 by the second week, 840 the third, and 1120 by the fourth week. It's just far too quick an expansion, it would clog up the wild world too much I think.

There's also the fact that someone could get on and simply move their character once every 14 minutes to avoid the AFK kick and then just get free chunks for doing nothing. While perhaps there could be another way of getting chunks for working, I don't think time played is one that should fit into it.

I like the idea, but the rate would have to be SUPER low.  Like 1 free chunk per 100 hours of playtime just as a neat little bonus for server loyalty.

Anything more than that would decimate the wild.

If you're only playing 100 hours on the server in the entirety of your minecraft career, what in the world do you need more free plots for?  You can't build more than 10 plots worth of stuff both vertically and horizontally in that amount of time.

I agree that there has to be an alternative way to earn chunks other than spending millions and millions of noobz or putting in real life money. I just don't enjoy the server anymore without the ability to build stuff.
