I've waited for ya'll to post before me, and I've read it through to see what you thought.

There is one important thing that you're all missing:

MTC is the most used currency on 4 MT servers: PVP, Main, Main2 and the Zombie server.

They are all connected. Please don't pull the ''FUCK TEH OTHER SERVAS!!!'' card here -_-

This means that changes to MTC will not only affect the Main server, but all the servers where MTC is used. MTC is bing used for the following but is not limited to:

-PVP: Adminshop, auctions, trades, shops, the arena.

-Main: CS, shops, trades, some adminshop items.

-Main2: Shops, trades, towns.

-Zombie: Reward for killing, protection (sponges), trades?.

Looking at these facts we are completely addicted to MTC. And I haven't even started to talk about voting yet . So we can't just entirely remove them. But we can adjust them.

The problem is the following: MTC were originally (and still is in a way) intended as a voting reward, which you could use to buy stuff in the creditshop and trade to other players. Nowadays many people just build a house or sell some materials in order to get MTC. That is a problems because it makes lazy people (like myself) trade instead of just voting for the server. Aka less votes.

So here's my suggestion:

Give an X week notice that you will disable use of MTC at shop signs, and use the Dia/Gold/iron currency instead and create a shop where you can spend you MTC if you wish to.

Bring back all the bank trades. Maybe do iron for 9 gold (one block) as it's easier to use. Players will have to vote in order to maintain their towns on main2, go to the arena/buy stuff on PVP, get staffheads and playersheads, WE and CS items on main, and get sponge protection on Zombie. Players will however still be able to /money pay to other players. Players can keep their current amount of credits. Some credit prices may have to be adjusted because of this.

Why bring back Dia/Gold/iron currency? Because it's simple to understand and it's an easy alternative to credits without having to add all kinds of new stuff. One iron bar equals to 1 credit at the current rate, so i would say it's just as accurate as credits. There is also a certain fun and pleasure in getting gold, which you don't get in the same way with credits. Dia/gold/Iron also has a practical use which means it won't ever loose all it's value, it will always be worth something to everyone. And last, but most importantly, it would make more people vote in order to get credits, Why not try to make everyone vote for our beloved server? Again, this is far the easiest way to go.

Also, zombiepig-spawners will have to be disabled.

And for those who doesn't like to ''mine money''... is it better to harvest the ''money tree'' in form of voting instead of working for your money?

Again, this is just suggestion, and i know some will dislike me for saying this, but it seems that we have forgot the real purpose of credits and the other worlds of MT, which is a shame.

EDIT: I've talked to bothHunterkiller and Mungobungo about this suggestion, and they agreed that it is the best way to go for the economy.

This suggestion could however be adjusted to fit better.

You don't need to worry about your xp farm's. I have made a brilliant design in which the limiter doesn't interact.

you have to get the mobs to be in a different chunk than the one they spawn in....

I get the feeling it's not staff vs community, with people trying to avoid the limiter. Maybe this is a sign for staff that the limiter isn't that popular?

On another note, is there any thing suggesting to a cause of lag, or is the staff just guessi?
