Economy

The first element of the server you need to be aware of is the economy. We operate on a gold standard, with every ingot being tradeable for 1000 Gold Coins. Beyond that, all prices are set by players; the economy is fully run by the principles of supply and demand. In order to trade blocks of gold, you first have to smelt them into ingots. After they've been smelted you can then convert them into currency by using the following command: /gi gold <# of gold ingots to convert>

In addition you can also repurchase your gold for the same 1000 Gold Coins by using this command: /gi buy gold 

Just one more thing to note. When a player dies, they will not only drop all their items, but they will now drop 5% of their total money (rounded to the nearest gold coin, usually rounded up). This will be dropped in the form of gold ingots and are collectable like any other item by any player. Regular gold ingots will still drop if they are in your inventory, and the server does distinguish them as separate items, so we don't recommend converting all your ingots as soon as you get them, as the death fee goes up higher. It's always good to store your ingots in a safe place, and then convert as you need them.

You can see your balance with the command:

/money For interactions with players that don't involve currency, we have a Trading system in place that will allow players to Trade items without exchanging currency. For situations where currency is beneficial or required, we have a couple of systems set up for that. Firstly, and most simply, we have a command where players can pay other players a set amount of gold coins. That command is:

/money pay

Name refers to the target player’s username, and amount refers to the amount to be payed. This command is easy to use and can be used in addition to trades, as payment for an in-game service (or a real life one if you like). It coudl even be used as tribute to a conquering warlord so he won’t crush you quite as soon as the rest. Hypothetically.

For more complex economic transfers, we have a system set up for players to create their own shops using chests and signs. This system involves no commands, but does include a pretty strict set of steps. This is all detailed under the Shops page. Beyond that, the economy is up to you, the Player.

Nation Banks
Nations also have banks that can be deposited in to or withdrawn from. The money from this account is used for purchasing land and any other Nation purchases.
