• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

Vaults For Rent?

Would you rent a vault for your chests?

Before starting: this is NOT an actual thread selling vaults or anything. Don't move it to the Market.

So, with the new chest locking system being created, I had an idea... Use my bank for what banks are supposed to be for and offer affordable, secure storage. Here's the idea:

12X12 vault space consisting of 2 floors, 3 blocks each floor. There is an iron door, button activated, on the first floor, opposite of a Portal for your easy access. You can use the space for storing your valubles AND put in a small workshop area for convenience, if you want. Besides this, the location is absolutely secure in that ONLY YOU can access the chests and items stored there and, naturally, you retain full access regardless of what faction you live in or what your relation to others is. Indeed, you can pay for months in advance to use it as a storage area if you have to go inactive for an extended period of time.

Each vault can hold approximately 140 double chests, assuming space is used just for chests. The recurring cost to lock 140 or so double chests sits at around 700 regals, I would rent out these vaults for 250 regals a month, saving you a whopping 450 or so Regals every month. That's a lot of saving right there.

So, answer in the Poll what you think of the idea, and if you think it's good but at a different price, tell me what price and why I should change my own price. If you vote no, please explain why :)
 
Maybe lower it to 200r. Heck, offer other packages at different prices.

Packages like... what exactly? I've only got 9 chunks to work with unless I send a few other alts over to the faction, so I can only make 9 Vaults of that size. I *could* produce taller Vaults/complexes with other stuff in them, but what sort of stuff would I want to add?
 
Heh, if I rent them out for 100r a month I can make a profit after a mere 4 months (all my stuff is long term XD). I may well drop the price down to 100 or 150 a month.
 
An interesting idea, however I could not afford this no more than I could afford to buy my own deadbolts.
 
I expected some Vault-Tec-Vaults, but okay...
Where are these Vaults located?
And how does the new chest locking system work? I've never heard of it :o
Aaaaand what would make them unaccessable? A wall of locked furnaces around it?

1) They don't exist yet, since this is just an idea.
2) It's the new chest locking plugin, makes you pay to lock ur chests. http://www.massivecraft.com/LWC
3) Faction Access Perms, faction leaders can set chunks up so that specific people and factions can have access to them. Why bother with furnaces when I can just use my alt faction to claim and lock the chunk? I give only the rentie access to the chunk and they can store as they please.
 
Tellers get one though, right? Anyhow, seems good to me.

-cough- all tellers were fired when I closed the savings part down -cough cough- Dayum that was a long cough XD

That said, I'm gonna repeat mahself... I only have 9 chunks of space to use, so I can't be giving them away for free or discounts lol. I'm already looking at a 3500 or so investment into the faction + construction, so even at best I won't make a profit for 2-3 months. Stahp being so greedy peoplez :P
 
Hmm...maybe I'll rent out the whole place for my treasure.
 
Mecharic if you'd like I know how to make all kinds of amazing redstone locks, button combos, music combos, lever combos, and even one where you have to put in the correct items for the piston door to open. If you like maybe we could work together and I could add a more "secure" feeling to your vaults/bank. :D
