    Second thought, this is lame. After thinking about this over night, i see alot of players and towns falling.

    As with everything MeepCraft has tried to fix something, and will ruin something every player uses.

    Good Job MeepCraft....

    This is why I have a 4x4 floor of hoppers at my home setpoint. When I cancel 6k of something they just all fall into hoppers around me and to to some chests. I think 100k items wouldn't work too well though even with this method. Someone's going to lose lots of stuff. My 12k seeds may be in jeapordy.

    Some people are complaining that its not the real world, or that it's stupid. This allows you to make risky investments, kind of like the stock market. Also I think VShop is more stupid because people undercut all day. Let it slowly be sold. That what happens in a market.

    Also if you were in TeamSpeak when fuzzlr was, he gave a better explanation on TeamSpeak about this.

    I never saw a trade system like Vshop in any other server, but saw a lot like this one that they want to implement...

    Vshop it's pretty cool.

    This is honestly a bad idea. It is very much exploitable because if you have an inventory full of iron you can sell it all and make a huge profit. All prices will go down, down down, and economy will inflate by 500%. -1

    What is going to happen is that on occasion Fuzzlr and company will make changes to the prices of items (think about how gold gets a boost almost monthly for no apparent reason) I think you'll see a massive selloff on the first day and then it will begin to stabilize. I suspect they would start their item values at whatever the Vshop currently or just a day before (hope they're getting values now because prices will rise on everything up until Vshop day).


    The big problem I see with this new method is that items like saplings and mossy cobble will skyrocket in price due to lack of them being sold on Vshop and Mods will have to micromanage all the items constantly to keep things in check. Vshop did this all automatically.

    Sir I think you have officially coined the term Vshop day! And you're right about all of the saplings and stuff.
    There is something that I would like to add to this, though. Did anyone ever think that this might be their excuse to remove all of the items that were put on the vshop for stupid prices, and remove the items of the players that no longer play? Ie all the noobs that put diamonds up for 5k each, and there is probably around at least 50k diamonds on the vshop that are never going to get sold.
    All of those items have to be clogging up at least 1gigabite of space on the server.

    It is capitalism. You need to reread the original post because clearly you do not understand how it works. It is basically the same as the vshop except it is a server to player agent.

    To all ignorant and uninformed players:

    If you think it is above Your High and Mighty Self to not understand the mechanics of the update before condemning MeepCraft to imminent apocalyptic doom, let me rephrase the announcement in a way that your simple mind will understand - The new system will mimic the same prices and mechanics of the virtual shop, except that transactions will be instant.

    The new update is not an institution of flat prices, despite how your God-mandated personal conviction believes it to be so.

    You using big words are confusing me, although I see your point. Then again, As many others an I state player to player sales are by far better than Virtual Server to player sales.

    I understand your point, the only thing i dislike about this is removal of the admin shop, even thought the new MeepShop will be just like the vshop and admin shop, many players like regular good ol' chest shops.

    Although the new shop will be just like the United States economy, a free market economy, I really like the man idea of it, but @Fuzzlr the main reason many people made money was from the admin shop supplying a STABLE price, unless exploited, the admin shop drove much of the economy. I think there should be a small global including all ranks admin shop, not to big, not to small. So that people can easily make SOME money, out a limit of items to sell too the admin shop.

    What i am saying is to have both the new MeepShop and a SMALL admin shop for all ranks, as i think this would be a great way for both new and old players to make money. I believe the MeepShop is way better than the current v-shop, even though almost ALL prices will be drove down by Hornemans.

    fuzzlr, i really do like this idea
