    If you haven't heard already, the nether will be reset this Tuesday on September 1st. Everything will be gone but most importantly, the fast-travel link from the nether to the overworld to get to Mega Market will be gone.

    Mega Market has been up for almost a year and a half on both maps and players have relied on this location to buy whatever they desire. This mall is not individually run. It has over 35 current shop owners. We have put an enormous amount of work and time into building Mega Market on this map.

    I am asking Shaz to put the coordinates of nether warp at the same coordinates it is now in the new nether. (-259, 493). The nether portal to link MM can be placed anywhere near (-249, 431) in order to work. Once everybody has finished claiming, I can work out buying claims near that area if needed.

    This would would allow players to continue to shop at MM and all the work from MM staff wouldn't be lost. After all, there is NO reason to not put the coordinates at the same location. :)


    A few weeks ago, we made a petition to get signatures for those who support this suggestion. There are current 117 people who have signed their name! It goes to show how valuable this mall is to the community.

    If technical issues arise, Mega Market should just get its own warp button, considering the effort its team has put into the map since day 1 of the reset.

    As far as I know we do not put warp buttons to players builds unless its for a build comp so people can see the builds. To allow MegaMarket a warp button would be considered favoritism and everyone on the server would begin to demand a button of their own.

    It makes sense to keep the nether warp at the same location, but there is no reason MM could not continue to be successful with a different nether warp. It's not incredibly difficult to build a nether tunnel, the nether warp is near 0 0 so it would only be a short distance to travel, and you'd only have to do it once to sethome.

    I do agree with that, no place should have a direct warp button at spawn if a player requested it as it's like pwarps that are definitively not allowed on SMP servers and would probably over-complicate things.
    However I don't think it is critical to keep the nether warp at the same coordinates with the argument that Faquarl gave.
    Moving the nether warp may also result in a better placement within the new nether biomes so we can just warp and see the new biomes and would potentially result in a warp point that may have a style similar to the new biomes. MM is a centralized market so prices fluctuate with demand according to theory but a decentralized market tries to create demand by being competitive. MM is more like what we call a convenience store that has a bit of everything. From what I've seen it's designed for profit but I am not sure who is the beneficiary, a prime example of that is the gambling section, it is also in most convenience stores to increase profits. I am not an economist but this server has almost no market competition and so prices are higher than in other servers, a nice example for that is elytras, here as of the end of August prices are from 28-33 db for an enchanted one, however I have found in my research on this topic that enchanted elytras go for avg of 2-3 db but it may not be used as a good example as out end is limited unlike a lot of servers these days (We really like need the 30mil limits again, a full 30mil world is like 1pb of storage and it's unlikely a lot of people will go that far) and we have billy selling them for 32db and 32eb. However Tridents can be used for this purpuse since they are really not variable to world size, in my research it was about 7db on avg and here we have them at about 14db. So considering all of that I think MM not existing would drive prices lower but will take more time to get thing if buying more than 1 item without a home at each shop. Sorry for this long rant but in the end it seems like MM will be here to stay nether stays at same coords or not and if one day it start loosing customers, another will rise, it's just how this server goes.

    The whole point of this petition and post is about the admin claim nether portal for the reset. Ease of access is key to successful malls. Moreover, the most popular customers consist of new players with lower vote ranks. They are not able to spare sethomes freely.

    @Notupus
    Don't make a post here if you are just making assumptions. Just because I own the MM does not mean this is profit-driven. I do not take any diamonds from shops, nor is interest charged to any of them. All the shops and staff here are made up of active players on this server. Anybody can apply and create a shop here for free as long as it isn't already sold here. It's the fact that all our hard work and dedication to this mall is going to diminish if there isn't a quick access to get there for players.

    I understand that there is a lot of new biomes in the nether and it would be cool to have one of them be featured for the new nether warp, but Shaz said there is going to be a random warp in the nether. That button can be used to find any of those new biomes.

    All we are asking is to keep the nether claim at the same coordinates and we can work out retrieving the right MM claim from whoever has it at a later time.

    You might have access for Ultimate sethomes, But NOT anyone do have ultimate sethomes Like new players or Members.


    If you ever read that Shaz, I understand if you think you cant do the warp exactly the same coords just for the Mega market.
    Mega market has been running from the last map and the first day of this map, We spent months of work, and there are more than 35+ Sellers and a really big amount of customers, We are asking you to do this for the community not just for Mega market If you keep coords the same we really will be happy, and very grateful, It will be really sad for many people if we couldn't have the same coords, Thank you for reading.

    Have a nice day
    Hikoo.

    Hey Mega Market.... fans? shoppers?,

    Reading all this is quite interesting, but I agree with those who've said that it won't be hard to make a new nether tunnel for Mega Market. We can all agree that it's a wonderful asset and many of us have used it at some point in time, therefore if the fast travel does get destroyed by the nether reset then Mega Market isn't going to be totally annihilated, like few seem to be acting like... So personally I think this petition is a little overboard since I'm not sure what really needs saving here, also considering that some players put their past IGNs as well as their current in those books. Very naughty ;).

    However, I must say that your actions aren't for nothing. Shaz has claimed that he's going to try to use the same spawn point for the nether. With that said, Mega Market should be perfectly fine and will hopefully not have a sudden cut in sales.

    Rest easy shop owners!

    I'm not really sure what the problem with this is? Like by voting a few times they can have plenty of homes for a base and some shops. If your shop is not worth their sethome that's your own fault. I would imagine that a recruit would not be shopping until they had some diamonds either from mining which takes several days or from voting which gives more sethomes.

    I don't think you get an amount of homes that you would describe as "plenty" until Elite rank and beyond. I think very few people (especially those without high vote/donator ranks) actually set home at malls. It's not a coincidence that all of the biggest malls on the server are bordering admin claims at warps.

    I only have 11 sethomes (as Elite/Phoenix) so I don't really sethome at any mall or shop.
