Not trying to set anyone off, but what do all of these perks have to do with Towny? They're all minigame/hub server stuff. Again, not gonna start a flame war.
I am incredibly sorry everyone is raging. Everyone is frustrated with the EULA in general. It simply shuts down any chance of non-hub servers succeeding. Face it, there is not a single disguise or "gadget" (that is just cosmetic) that is worth $100.
Therefore, we can fix this by following some of the threads in the suggestions forum. We can re-add every perk if it can be obtained without using hard currency only. I personally think we would benefit from changing the way Meep is played. With tweaks to the way things were, we can make everything EULA compliant by making ourselves "pay for speed" instead of "pay for perks." Similar to many "free to play" games, using hard currency is not necessary to get everything, but it speeds it up considerably.
In addition, I want to personally thank the Admins for fixing everything on such short notice. I would greatly enjoy discussion about things we can do to make Meep better than ever.
To those arguing for a reset, let me tell you something. A reset will not fix anything long-term. Yes, it will bring players back . . . for a few days. I know of a server that has biannual resets. Know what happens? Everyone "comes back" right at the reset, and builds up. Then they all leave again within a week until the next reset. This is not the community Meep has. This server succeeds not because of the perks, but because of the community. The thing is, the community relies on these perks to balance the economy. Everyone seems to love complaining about how "bad" the economy is, but . . . it works, doesn't it?
Meep as a whole is at a crossroads. No matter what decisions are made, the majority of the community needs to be on board, while still complying to the EULA. As I said, it doesn't really work as it is, but the EULA is what we're stuck with, so we have to make it work for us.
