I could have built such a large castle with those diamonds ;-;

Sometimes I just don't get it. people seem to have loads of money on minetown, yet i don't seem to get the system. I was never rick and i have put more than 2000 hours into minetown. i never ever had more than 100k in act right now with 78k i'm the richest i have ever been. I have like 6 alternate accounts that I use my vpn service to vote with and I'm still not rich. (4 of the accounts are $20 donators). I just never seemed to be rich like everyone else. In my early days I was really poor. I probably have another 60k in investments. that is 13 million in diamonds if you had 12 double chest filled with the blocks at $20 a diamond

Aren't alt accounts illegal or has something changed since I've been on last?

They're fine as long as they are not being used to grief, etc.

As far as being poor, some people aren't good business people. I suck at it, I only have around 80k right now; but I don't need any more; I could walk into the market right now and purchase anything I wanted to

Wanna make money? Here's some ways that appear to be working well.

1. Get a shop with good prices and a keep it stocked. Get it known & popular by promoting it.

2. Build nice stuff, sell it off for more than it took you to build it. #profit

3. Participate in events, win them

4. Fulfill jobs. Build stuff for others in exchange for money.

5. PvP, sell loot

Also, I believe a lot of people got quite some credits through the zombie server, back when it was up. Since the spawn is protected and flagged with invincible, you could hack and slash your way through hundreds of zombies. Every zombie kill gave you 1 $ on average. Add to that that you could kill hundreds of zombies in one hit with just a splash pot of healing.

That's the only reason I didn't like the zombie server: /money being cross server linked.
