Did you send 20 congratulations?

I'm not fully certain what everyone's problem is with the new shout mechanics as I have yet to be charged after shouting around seven times at my normal pace. It seems that Fuzzlr's token system (you start with three tokens and a single token regenerates after ten seconds) seems to be in place and if you break that, that's when you get charged. I will say that I don't shout as readily as other players, but I think this change will cause more well-formed responses to other messages in shout. The shout channel really needed to be subdued in my opinion anyways, but I would still appreciate a toggle option on top of the already implemented measures.

Make it less for each donor rank.
Or every other.
Something. Make it a perk so it's not totally annoying.

I can try, is your IGN "Epicdude141" still?
~ @Deinen

Yes that's correct

Voting is supposed to be for paying taxes and upkeep, not for paying for shout.

I thought you guys wanted to start bringing back things from Old MeepCraft? :) We used to have pay to shout too.
~ @Deinen

We didn't want the pay to shout thing to come back.
Citizens had to PAY 500 every time they spoke in global. Donors didn't have to pay a cent. +infinity. I don't want to feel like a citizen losing money from just TALKING.

technically, it's for helping the server grow.

It would be wonderful if someone cleared this up.

There was pay to shout when meep was first around, I forget when they got rid of it, but they probably got rid of it either when they merged into MeepNetworks, or they removed it sometime during the original meepcraft. It caused tons and tons of issues with NEW players.
Chat system will be ruined, 100 meebles adds up, when the economy is hard to understand and get money.
You have to think in they perpective of new players, yes we were all once NEW to meep; and had no clue what to do. If we were no treated to or unable to talk in shout because of paying to chat; we would just leave.
Meep won't grow.
~ @TheJohnseyClutch

Meep grew regardless back then, and that was 100/shout no matter what for citizens.

come on.
Isn't meep's community held together through the friendships and community itself? Communication drives meep!

If noobs have to pay to talk, donors should too.
Noob's don't know how to make money right away.
anyways, when I joined way back when, when you did have to pay 3 years ago..
I didn't know how to make money, since meep is pretty complex
I knew how to chat
I looked for towns, looked for help
shortly after, there was NO meebles left in my balance and I was unable to find out what to do
I quit, came back a few days later and still had the same issues.
Meep during it's prime; didn't have pay to shout...
so that statement is wrong.
Meep during it's prime had jobs(i think), vshop, bank, solid staff team, quick customer service, and a great active community.
~ @TheJohnseyClutch

It did have pay to shout at about 750 players I'm pretty sure.

Donors didn't ;)

It was 100, I'm pretty sure.

Donors never had to pay :) and I never begged for Old Meep back ;-;

I mean, I just don't think paying to say 3 messages is necessary. According to the staff's spam rule, it's only spam if you repeat the same message over 3 times in one whole chat box. If it's spam, staff will give them a punishment.

I just don't think paying to say 3 messages is right. And like Metr0 said, voting is for towns, ranks, etc.; not for talking in shout. I mean, maybe if it was like this:

Citizen - 100
VIP-Ultimate - 0

That'd be much better :)

Paying to talk is not needed, and the economy isn't inflated anyway. Just wipe the Towny war chest and we won't need to lose 100 meebles.

I'd have a lot more to say, but my phone is dying ;-;

Will probably edit later.

NO KEEP PAY TO SHOUT
PLS

Citizen - 100
VIP-Ultimate - 0
~ @Bob4444444

If anything, the other way around. Citizens are often the ones struggling to pay tax anyways.

aying to talk is not needed, and the economy isn't inflated anyway. Just wipe the Towny war chest and we won't need to lose 100 meebles
~ @Bob4444444

That's 32 million right there. The admins seem to be rigid in that every time the baltop goes over 2 bil, they implement some measure to keep it down.

If you guys are shouting 4 times every 10 seconds then you have bigger things to worry about than 100 meebles.

RaidByNightOnly

Get rid of it.

Seriously.

Now.

In all seriousness here is my reasoning:
I normally don't keep a lot of cash on hand I like to transfer it to resources. I have enough to keep me financially stable for 2 days. This really screws my system up not only that but it infuriates me that I can't shout Auctions or keep a steady convo going in shout and I don't wanna hear "Take it to msg" or "take it to local" bs because it's normally with multiple people doing different things in different worlds. Please. Please. Please. Please. Get rid of it for the love of Fooslr, Gob and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

We meant the good things, and they had it so that only Cits paid.
