Alright, so there's a lot of issues of griefing & looting on SkyBlock.net. Certainly, protecting every island on SkyBlock should be close to impossible, considering the way it's coded. However, how about creating an island protection donation package? I'm sure quite a lot of players will probably want this, eh? From what I can think of, the only negative points about this idea would be:

- Requirement to code an extra bit in the plugin
- Possible complaints from the players who cannot afford island protection
- The manpower required to protect a region for a certain player every time the package is bought (I.e. I don't think this can be done automatically, in the current situation...I think...)

Just an idea, any feedback or criticism is appreciated.

 

Good idea. Definitely what most people want/are thinking about haha.
But like you said, it would be hard to implement.
No support. We have .org for island protection. I like the idea though.

 

Pizza, mmhm, I agree~ It would indeed be hard to fit it in, especially right now, when the update to 1.8 is very 'hard' & 'messed up'...it's just a thing I want the admins to possibly take into account when they were ever to make a major update on .NET. Thanks for the feedback~

 

There's always just org if you want worldguarded islands. I don't think this would be easy to do anyways. Such as if a donor leaves a coop and such.

 

I do like this idea for maybe donor 400. Of course, it would have to be tested to see if it produces lag. It may inspire more players to upgrade to 400. Support if no lag produced and available exclusively to donor 400.

 

Yeah, if this suggestion was to be taken into action, a lot of things would become a problem, including the issue of how coop islands work...hmm...I'll try to think of a way around it. Thanks for the feedback!

Mmhm~ If it works out well, it may trigger more players to want to get donate to the server, especially if you have an experience of your island being looted or griefed. I don't think it'd create lag though...it's just setting a WorldEdit region kind of thing where other players don't have permission to alter the island.

 

There is already a lot (enough to stuff up redstone) of lag on the server, I don't believe will be possible with out creating more lag.

 

xdras, thank you for your feedback, however:

 

Well u could do that xdras or a like donor rank that makes it so that 100 donors and up dosnt get clag or lag. I belive this would make people want to rank up. And like a 100 donor gets island protection or something because my island lags like crap so u have a good ideal so I think its a good ideal

 

distante2007, thank you for your feedback...but isn't that making the game too unfair towards the greenbeans and the lower donors? The majority of this community aren't Donor100+ (Example) - not as much people would be happy.

 

I actually think this would be a perfect idea. Griefing would go down a TON and a lot of people would start donating more and help out the server so we can add more great ideas like this! I don't this will make the server lag. Keep up the great idea SourceForums!

 

This has been suggested several times, but it won't happen because it will lag the server.

 

How would it lag the server if u think about it the island protection could be like a donor command that only a certain donor rank can have island protection. And it will lower the griefs like sourceforums said

 

I don't think it will make the server lag, I actually think this will stop some of the lag, and also it will reduce the amount of bans and temp bans! (Because of griefing and all!)

 

It will not help make lag better. If not for anything else, because it's another plugin. The more plugins you have, the laggier it gets. Aside from that, I can't remember why it lags exactly, but it would do more than just lag. People like to have other players come over to their islands and build things. I have had malachich and FromLegoUniverse do just that. I know a major example was with an island belonging to sharkkiller2014. He had a bunch of players come and help with a major project. Pretty much every prominent player back in early 2014 did something to help. That kind of thing wouldn't be possible with the plugin. It would require a whole new plugin to make that kind of thing work, and we don't have a developer.

 

What do you mean?

 

I agree with just about everything said here. Yes, it will help prevent griefing, but, it will cause extra lag and prevent people from building on islands. And, like mentioned above, we don't even have a developer to make this happen.

 

EULA rules will kick in here.

 

I love this idea I, for one, play both .net and .org but would like worldguard implemented on .net. Having it as expensive as /fly is a bit too far, but it would be cool if it was like $7.50 (US dollars) as it is not that expensive as to put people off but as it is a frequently asked for item, meanwhile not being ridiculously expensive (so most people can afford it) it would bring more donations in.

 

No support, sorry

• If only 1000 people would have purchased this, there would already be some lag. After a certain amount of time this number will higher and the lag would be even more real
• I don't think people will buy protection: it will only cause an obstacle for them; when someonr want's to chesttrade/build aanythin on their island with their permission(/or troll them ) this is not possible. Any further: they could also make screenshots of the items instead of buying their safety. I mean, what do you prefer? Buying it or take 30 minutes to get some screenshots and you are safe eitherways.

Again: no support
