This time around I'm going to do a better job of grouping items for sale in the mall. Food in an area, ores in another, armour in another etc. I'd like to make it easier to find too, so I don't think its just going to be straight rows like you have shown ferris.

There appears to be a noise/lag machine next to smallville? I was wondering who put it there? Also, see the links for some RS lamp ideas in both default and sphax: Short: Default SphaxTall: Default SphaxMy personal favourite is the short light with the black wool base, so I've put them around abit  - Vralka |

That tall one is awesome! ( I didn't think of using the new fences). I'll check them out in game. Feel free to remove the lag machine, I have a good idea who did it  Really great work Vralka. |

it's not an automatic lag machine, it's a clapper. It'll clap for new people when they join the server. And the point about the mall was serious. Why do we need a mall? to sell things? I think that not being in tekkit will make having many kinds of jobs easier. It will also make diamonds and other things much more valuable, because you can't just destroy everything. I don't like the idea of an admin mall dictating the value of items. The mentality of "Oh, the mall sells this for X, so I have to sell it for <X" And an admin mall that only spawns in valuable items would just deflate the price of those items. long story short is that other than selling food (except melons, because they are valuable now, and hard to get) and other basic things like leather, I would keep the price up to the players. Also, those tall lamps look nice. EDIT: I was messing around with the lamp post idea that vralka had, and made something pretty cool. make the post one taller, move the fences on top to the bottom, and put half slabs on top.

I agree with ZBOLT, I do not think we should be selling melons and other valuables. It would help new players and provide a mass market with the older players and how they would be trading diamonds around, also it would make a higher demand for diamonds and a lot of money would be moving around the server.
With all due respect, Cam528

I'm jumping on the no admin mall bandwagon. I think it would be FAR more interesting to see how the player base dictates the value of ANY block. I agree that there should not be an admin mall. it would be cool to see the first few diamonds and tools and weapons produced be at such a high price because the supply would be terribly low and te demand would be high. It would be interesting to see the server run on a 100% item based economy where there is no MC jobs and players have to literally make their own income. The floodgate to this would be the voting and donating to generate dollar currency to trade for goods and services.

Even in what you described we need a mall... This is not the place for a discussion on server economics, trust I have everything under control. I am not taking suggestions on this topic. EDIT: I do talk to my most trusted staff on gameplay changers, no offence but if I listened to every random player we would be in bad shape  |

I don't think the three of us that made the suggestion are random... We've been playing here a while and have observed the economic model on the tekkit server.

Gn3sda I'm sorry I sparked a revolt. I was just justifying my question. Please don't hate me

I'm going to say this once.... then the economy thing is dropped. Any other posts here about it are getting deleted (go make a new topic  ) Most of what you guys are saying.... THATS WHAT WE DO. The mall only provides bounds for prices, it does not set them. Some rare items (I agree with no melons) are not sold. Players are unreliable, they are the first place you should go when buying but my VIPs need the option to buy from the server if no players are selling. |

Has anyone seen what I have so far on my church? is it too big? I plan on having a tower in the middle. Do you like the windows? They cannot be filled in with glass, unfortunately  . Do you like the floors? They look good in the texture pack I am using. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I started out with making a court, but it just kinda made a better church. EDIT: Also Vralk, I really like the 7x8 house! You have a knack for making really nice, modern houses. The only thing the the house has going against it is the fact it uses glass panes. I absolutely despise glass panes, after learning you can ender pearl through them. just some food for thought. |

Im to scared to build anything!
Also, Zbolt, the low rent apartments which are nice and by Vralk - impede the church and so it doesn't look symmetrical (OCD people will get this) when looking from the path
