I quite like the idea of being a road builder and being paid in obsidian + a nice plot of land a few feet from the main road. I could sit in my new indestructable fortress taking potshots at the hapless travellers walking along the road i helped build.

I never really considered other factions that would mostly focus on trading or other services. Wonder how they will fit in.

Given that factions can set to "peaceful" (thus being immune to attack), I'd say that merchant factions will fit in quite nicely, and be an awesome addition. Hopefully some enterprising people decide to go for it - the server will need some diamond palaces!

Wait what? Doesn't being immune to attack kinda ruin point of the server?

Yeah, I agree. I think factions that want to trade exclusively should be liable to attack as well and be forced to hire mercenaries.

My understanding is that only the admins can set factions to be peaceful, and I don't think they'll be setting them that often.

Exactly if a merchant faction wants to be protected you better be able to trade some gold to protect your ass lol

I doubt I'll set anyone as peaceful. But I can say if you declare yourself as neutral to all causes and never takes sides, chances are my faction, the Sentinels, will provide protection for you should you become harassed.

you have to apply for the "protection" though.

Or alternately, you could use the cash influx you get from trading to deck yourselves out in the best possible gear so nobody wants to attack you. Or you could use your influence with other factions to ostracize a faction that gives you trouble and get everyone to ally against them. The possibilities are endless...

Daaaaaamn, I want this server to go up already

Is there a way to pay for use of the rail? Like, if payment is processed to a shop, a door will open, allowing access to the rail?

Not built in, no. But im sure a faction can create a such a system.

aka:

"Pay 200 dollars, and ill open the door for you"

*pays 200*

"The rail will take you literally across the entire map, enjoy the ride".
