The cries of a thousand angry 12 year olds will echo the forums.

The problem is they would either have to be all owned by the same person, or if you split it amongst people you would have to chain wild friends in such a way that you didnt have the buffer preventing build, which gets complex and involves a lot of people.  That amount of plots I'd also estimate at nearing 1 million noobz.

We all appreciate the /shop command and it's functions. We also would like to see more items added to it as well though. That's why we have the suggestions and ideas subforum. To add in our two cents. And yes, you were adding in your two cents by saying we don't need to add anything else to the shop. but, consider this. You have a farm for cocoa beans and you are making bank out of beans. You don't know what to do with all of them. Players will only buy a few then will never buy again as they can then get tons beans within a few days or so. I think if it were added to shop but had a very low price, it would even itself out. None of us are saying cocoa beans should be added for a few hundred a piece. But being able to sell them to shop to make atleast some profits off of them would indeed be nice. If it were 16 for 8 NBZ or 16 for 4NBZ it'd be okay. As long as we can sell them and earn some profits off of our farms. That's all we are asking.

The solution to this isn't to add more useless stuff to the shop, it's to stop farming useless things.  Why do you have a cocoa bean farm if you can't do anything with them?  Why do you continue farming them if you have loads of them and still no need for them?   Just stop and it's over.  The agony of the overwhelming beans will end when you end it.

The thinking about stocks in this thread is a bit narrowminded.  Everyone seems to be focused on the implementation that involves a normal type stock - one that is based on the value of corporations or business entities.   There are other forms of stock that COULD work in a MC world, such as commodity stocks and bond stocks.  You could be "betting" or "Investing", which is all stock really is, on the value of a commodity such as quartz (EX: you bet the futures of quartz will go up so you buy up stock on it at its current price, then when 1.8 rolls around and the new minerals use it as a crafting component it's value will rise and you can sell at the higher price).  It wouldn't really need to be backed by anything because the market values are already basically set based on supply and demand anyway.  You could do the same thing with the value of diamonds or even the value of noobz themself relative to a dollar.  Lots of directions you could go here.

That said this would be ridiculous complicated, highly volatile, and probably an irresponsible thing to put on a family MC server.  Probably wont ever happen.

Bummer.  Lemme know if you need any tech help with the bum PC.

Not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but you could sell Auction House withdrawl and deposit chests for players to place in their homes for convenience.   Sell them for a ton of money like 100k.  Richer players would gladly pay for the convenience and status symbol, and it would be a good thing to act as a money sink to keep the economy more balanced.

Can I suggest that next time you post event times that you post them in GMT.  GMT is the international baseline and everyone should know what their time zone is relative to GMT, whereas I didn't even know what BST was until I came to this server.  GMT would make it a lot easier for everyone to convert since our playerbase is kind of all over the place, and the staff wouldn't have to answer questions about what time events start every 10 minutes.

Maybe it's because I use Sphax and optifine, but I haven't noticed this hardly at all.  I mine for like 8 hours a day and i think I've noticed it once for a millisecond.  I'm guessing this would be caused by Ore Obfuscator?  Not enough word from admins to know.  Not enough info!

I'm curious as to whether or not there is any kind of timeline or action plan for the server when 1.8 arrives.  Will the server migrate to 1.8 immediately?  Will it at all?  Do you have to wait for bukkit + every single plugin you have to be updated if it does?  I'm just trying to gauge any kind of ETA for noobstown migration to 1.8 when it drops if you guys do migrate.  New blocks coming out and some build plans could include them, so I'd love to know if it would be a relatively short wait post release or if it would take a very long time.

Thanks.

*1.7.5

Both 1.7.5 and 1.7.4 work.

All 1.7 should work fine.  I run 7.2 for modding standard.

Dont misunderstand a vulnerability being present to everything being "hacked".  Heartbleed was just a vulnerability that effects the majority of the internet and means most of it that uses common encryption protocols was vulnerable, but not necessarily that 100% of those that were vulnerable were hacked or taken advantage of or mined or whatever. 

While it's a good idea to change passwords to things that matter and keep an eye on your bank statements etc, I don't support media-type panic spreading with sentences like "2/3 of the internet was hacked" because thats just silly.

OMG incentive to actually build in the wild.  Keep up the good work noobteam.  You guys do a great job of listening to community feedback and improving the server environment for the better.

Water.  Milk.  Gulp.
