I have been concerned about the prices before i had created a town, but now that i have created one i severely regret it. Some things seem understandable but some just seem outrageous.

My thoughts on some of the town prices were, the town is expensive, but understandable. The town is easy to get with the shops. Although when you purchase the town and try to claim a plot with a available plot point, it cost 300$. Now that is ridiculous when you already have purchased the town. You are not buying the plot from private property therefore it should not cost anything to own a piece of the wild. Now if I was buying a bonus plot that would be understandable. But these are plots that came with the town.

Those are just some of my feelings towards the town system. In my opinion I would like it to be changed to free. but I would like the thoughts of other people in the minecraft community.

I agree with some points. I'm fine with most of it. But I do agree with when you buy a town, he first 32 plots should be free. Just saying.

To buy a full town (Town original purchase + 32 blocks + 300 Bonus Blocks) = 284,600.00

After the 32 Blocks @ 300, you're paying 800 per block and don't forget the 15,000 monthly rent.

Just giving the numbers behind the town costs so everyone is informed. I have already built up my town and I don't really have an opinion other than I would like a refund of all the money spent if the blocks cost anything less than what I have already paid.

I am not trying to be the barer of bad news here however i have said this time and time again and i will continue to say it.

Our Server has to have somewhat of a difficulty level to it because without it we will have "0" players.

Now however if we the admins or you the players find something that either isn't working right or is just is to hard then yes we will fix those things.

In regards to voting prices right now rewards are 100 if we were to raise them to 125 then you can get 1,000 per day of voting however i hear through the grapevine i am a backstabber and i am running the server the way i want and i really do not take this lightly. I spend hours of my free time looking into plugins looking at configs and just fixing things. Also i never and i mean never get to play because as soon as i log in i get bombarded with chaser do this, why isn't this working, give me OP, and so many more things.

Also mike you have over 10,000 in your account and 24,000 in the town bank at the current time. (sorry for calling you out but like i said i dont like being talked about when i bend over backwards for yall).

Now another option that was mentioned is to decrease the amount of town plots which is very possible as well however remember you can place plots for sale and make people purchase plots or you can even charge them a tax.

At the beginning of a town yes it may be very hard to keep up but once you get things ironed out it will become easy.

Also remember that once some members get their towns set up im going to allow guests access to the member world and they will also have plenty of money to help out with towns so dont get your panties in a wad hehe and just hang in there.

Chase, I think you went off on the wrong direction here...
I think the point Mike is making is that he feels that for 35k you should get more than just the right to name a new town. I think that he is saying that for 35k everyone should feel like it is a good value. You don't get pissed off at apple for a $500.00 phone you know only cost them 20 to make do you? No, you realize you are paying for the features that come with your purchase and not just the metal and plastic. In this case a player spends 35k and gets mayor status and a 10x10 plot, that kind of makes some (but not all) people feel a little ripped off. I don't know what would make everyone happy in this instance and honestly no one will ever be happy no matter what (my prior GC experience taught me that) but none the less I think that is the real point. Whatever people feel about you is meaningless, I know for a fact a bunch of people now today have a bit of resentment towards me for whatever reason and it means nothing to me. For lack of a better saying "Haters are always gunna hate"

I guess i should of taken a step back and thought about question a little bit more.

Towny offers many settings we can change like prices the number of plots you get per town member and much much more. Also mayors have loads of permissions they have access to like plot permissions and access to changing things around.

So a better question is what would make you feel that the price of a town is well worth it? and how can we find a happy medium?

There is no happy medium. Everybody seems to be happy with the prices and agree that theyre worth the "challenge" to get. Only two players have made a stink about it, and those two both now have towns and several tens of thousands left over...

If you think the towns cost to much then dont buy one. You dont need a town to play minecraft... It is just a fancy little perk on the side that allows you to put a word infront of your name thats all.

Mike, you already own a town after initially complaining it was to much, and still have alot of money left over. I dont get what your problem is.

Spartan, you complain that you want more money yet you easily have blown over 30k in my shop, plus another 70k for two towns now, Endor and Eyrie.

Phantom, not everyone is happy with the prices, and the only two that have spoken out against it are the people that dont mind voicing their opinion without being attacked. plenty of other people don't like it but don't care enough because they are not town leaders (because this is an issue only the town leaders and assistants have to deal with), or because they don't want to be in the spotlight. Also the reason i have so much money is because i haven't claimed any land except my beacon. because i would like my town to last longer than be completely claimed. to claim all my town would cost me thousands that i don't have. to reach this amount of money would leave me mining for like 3 days straight. i think chase is starting to understand what we're getting at here (thanks to duce). we want more for our money, we paid so much for nothing but a fancy title in front of our names. i mean c'mon does it really take all this arguing over 1 little thing in towny.

Were not trying to attack anyone however if you simply say we don't like prices because they are to high we can really understand what your really feeling.

Like I said if you think you should get more for the price then suggest something other then decreases process or increase votes.

I actually have no issue making votes 125 for a grand total of 1000 each day because I want yall to vote voting means more ppl on the server which means more cool features and the longer were sponsored.

Here is an idea. I understand the price of a town being 35K, its alot to work up for. But when a player creates a town, what if you guys make it so that the first plots that come with the town are only $100? I don't understand what you mean when you say: "Suggest something other then decreases process". Can you clarify that for me? Sorry if my suggestion is a "decrease" suggestion.
