    i will try to keep this short and brief
    so, similar to croppers, it has a menu in /shop (or maybe its own command like /expansions)
    149x149 would cost 1.5mil in game
    199x199 would cost 2.5mil in game

    so, some things i think will come up
    1. Hurting the servers revenue

    both expansions are worth 111k skybucks per USD. Thats practically like going to a profit shop and using /sell all. Its much more worth your skybucks to buy GCs/pay someone directly to buy it for you.

    2. Makes people a lot more lazy.

    Lazy? The only people who would spend that much money on something like this are mapart creators, and they are the OPPOSITE of lazy.

    3. Too expensive

    Really? Its a 1 time investment, and many players can afford it with millions to spare. If you think its too expensive, just think, who would need this kind of space that wasn't extremely rich?

    4. Too cheap

    Maybe. People with tens of millions can easily grab 199x199 islands. It may end up hurting the servers revenue, but noone can say that expansions are more than a small percentage of Skyblocks revenue.

    Was that short and brief enough?

    And the players who have already purchased it? What is your suggestion for compensating them fairly?

    You could talk to almost any major player with a rank and most of the time they will have an island expansion. I alone have 2 on 2 accounts, some people ik on skyblock probably have 4 on 4 separate accounts

    It’s probably the second most common thing to get other than ranks. It may not have to be bought multiple times but if you plan on sticking around and getting ranks, then almost all of the time purchasing an expansion comes with that

    Drogo has paid for 8 full island expansions. Well, Drogo paid grass for someone else to buy the expansions.
    Drogo doubts this would be implemented even if it got heavy support as it’s less money for the server.

    Na man I don't think this will ever be implemented. Plus it'll be a loss of money if it were to be added. No support

    It seems like the island expansions have been a popular feature since the release of the new server. It's not like previously we had more free space and now we have to pay for space that we used to be entitled to, just that it is an optional luxury to enhance the gameplay. I also agree with what FlamingTrees said above and I think he makes a very good point! As with donor ranks, buying an expansion with in game money is still possible, just via a different route. For these reasons I doubt this feature would be implemented.
