* We’re always watching… - Greed

'''Will you add the monthly premium subscription back to the shop, instead of only the annual one? (_kon)'''

* Fix got rid of monthly premium due to issues with the payment processor and cancelling subscriptions. I don’t think it will be coming back unless the issues are resolved. - Greed

'''When will Terra Nova end? Do you think there is a chance it could be revived? If enough players are active on it, could it come back to the queue compass? Is there a world download for EMC Factions? Why are there two wiki websites? (Mapscientist)'''

* Fix plans to support Nova as long as it is not too taxing on server hardware to maintain, however it is effectively deprecated. There is no world download for EMC Factions, and this is the only official wiki website. - Greed

'''Thoughts on a second map without teleports and overclaim already implemented from the start? (8kwng)'''

* Personally I'd agree, but I do not believe that is something Fix is interesting in pursuing. - Greed

'''Is it true that aurora is planned to shut down around 2025-2026? If so, what will come after? (flafiku)'''

* There is no official shut down timeline for Aurora, however it can be speculated from how long the Nova map lasted. I do not believe the server would be shut down, but a new map would assumingly be introduced. - Greed

'''Will recent updates to aurora be added to nova? (krisstuffs)'''

* No, Nova is effectively deprecated. - Greed

'''Will there be a plan to increase the number of new players and to engage them more in joining towns and participate? The official guide is very superficial''' '''(Lirsko)'''

* We currently have a few features intended to do this, however those with access to the server have not deployed them yet. - Greed

Line 159:

* Yes, our developer Fruitloopins is currently working on a plugin for sub-areas/"apartments" within Towny. You can track its progress on the [https://discord.gg/mggdA5y Community Discord]. - Greed

'''Are there any plans for implementation of cubic plots? So that one could sell different floors of a tower to different players? (Aynaet666)'''

* Reference previous answer. - Greed

'''Do you foresee adding the Brewery plugin (alcohol)?'''

Line 169:

Line 194:

* There is no current plan. They would have to be procedurally generated somehow into the existing map, while avoiding all towns. This would require developing a new plugin. - Greed

'''Does EMC intend to add any features that may increase player longevity? More content for the player base? (_kon)'''

* There are always plans to add new content and feature, the only issue is getting them developed and passed through official channels for implementation. The premier plugins being worked on revolve around setting sub-area apartments within plots and events in Towny. We have features involving war, the Nether, and public town spawn that are ready, but they just need to be enabled by Fix. - Greed

'''Can you add the /ah plugin? It will improve the gameplay in the form of adding an online market, where players will be able to sell items for gold. (DixiX)'''

* Fix favors a physical economy compared to a digital one, so I do not believe we would add this. - Greed

'''Will you add alliance chat? (Loser_Tylenol)'''

* That would need to be developed by Towny, currently it is not on the table. - Greed

'''Can you please add a command that makes it easier to split xp - so instead of typing /bottle store 306 a million times I can just put /bottle store 306 x 100. (@amstarlove)'''

* That would require developing a new plugin, which we can most likely pursue doing after the 1.20 update. - Greed

'''Will you ever enable /t merge? (catboyhoratio)'''

* Contrary to popular belief, /t merge requires the same amount of gold and chunk claim limit as the town being merged. It is disabled to avoid this confusion. We may enable the command in the future if applicable. - Greed

'''Custom Elytra Reciepe when, I’ve sent the Reciepe that could be used previous ama'''

* Warrior has said no, but we may add it as a game mechanic in the future. - Greed

'''Since overclaim is being added, would it be possible to work in some kind of pvp aspect to it, so as to emulate a rudimentary war plugin? (12don)'''

* While overclaim can be utilized as a war mechanic, it is not our plan for a full war feature. The existing plan for a war feature would involve a non-destructive implementation of Towny's Event War. This will be put on Aurora with war loss consequences turned off as a test to ensure it is working properly, then enabled fully if functioning.

'''Since overclaim will cause several nations to end themselves, will there be any refunds of the 2048g to those players?'''

* Although an indirect consequence, there are currently no plans to refund nations. That would have to be brought up to Fix and approved. - Greed

'''Was the overclaim system planned from the start or was it more of a on-the-run idea?'''

* Overclaim was initially conceptualized in January 2023, and came to Towny as a suggestion a few months later. - Greed

'''Can a town claim another town’s chunks during the grace period?'''

* No, they can only do so once the overclaim feature is fully implemented. - Greed

'''Has the Staff Considered what would happen to the building culture on emc? In my opinion if overclaim is added it could prevent builders from creating mega towns in the fear of being overclaimed. (Straw_inturtles)'''

* The staff have not considered this, given it is not their choice or decision. I think it is true that building culture would suffer to an extent with this change, given it will no longer guarantee holding plots forever without maintaining effort. - Greed
