As most of you know, the server economy is terrible and needs to be fixed. Just a few examples of how bad it is....

(At /warp Shop)
Diamond
Buy 1 for $10,459
Sell 5 for $100 ($20 per diamond)

Slimeball
Buy 1 for $3,054
Sell 1 for $8

Ender Pearl
Buy 1 for $1,000
Sell 16 for $30.50 (Roughly $2 per item)


The economy has been like this for a while, and all efforts as of now haven't made any noticeable changes. At this point I think it would be easier to just reset the economy altogether.

+1, this reminds me of the gold edition of the Apple watch, to much money.

No. I made my money by playing the system and if that means a disadvantage to you well talk to my 400k and oddles of diamonds.
Long Live Capitalism.

Items previously bought will not be lost, and you can save your money by using /banknote.

-1,
In my eyes it is a good thing that items are very expensive to buy in the /warp shop. It discourages players from buying there and instead encourages player-to-player exchanges, ultimately bringing the server closer together and hopefully creating new friendships. A good example is my shop, since it's opening, and my announcement to thrive to sell any item, and at the cheapest price on the server, I have met multiple new people and made a lot more friends doing so. But obviously one-to-one exchanges are better as you need to physically chat and it is a much more personal and involving process.

+1.

Money is basically worthless on the server, so what's the point of even having it?

I could've sold my entire stock of lapiz (were it not for the donator thing) which is four stacks of lapiz BLOCKS. Which is thirty-six stacks of lapiz. And it wouldn't have been enough to buy a single slimeball at the prices at the main store. That's how ridiculous this has gotten.

It's frequently difficult to get slimes out in the wild (I've spent many nights in marshes waiting for one to spawn, and it often hasn't). If players want to use stuff like that, and don't have donator privileges (which not all of them can get), an easy way to get hold of stuff like slime is just to buy it. It shouldn't be as difficult as it is to do that.

Chip, I understand your concern. Players will always do player-to-player exchanges because of several reasons. Players can't buy enchanted items in the shop, they can't repair items at the shop, and there are items that the shop does not sell.

@Humble. "Money is worthless"

Excuse me? Without money we couldn't buy workers, we couldn't purchase needed items, etc. Money is KEY on this server, for some people.

I mainly make the stuff myself with little need for money. If im buying bulk of an item (iron, gold, stone, coal etc) then I will harvest my farms and ill make a max of about 1K. That usually keeps me going to get whatever pots or bulk items I need. Richer Players should become less reliant on the work of others that are trying to scrape together 2K. I do agree that the shop needs to be updated and more advertising of player shops put up.

-1 I side with Chip, it incourages player to player interaction. Heck, if it wasn't for this economic shove, no one would be able to see the beautiful samcroshops. True, friends are made by this economy, you can change warpshop all you want, just not to destroy player based shops.

+1 Things need to be expensive but this is pure BS.
