Resource Points

On our new star wars server over at BYTE we were looking to get a bit more combat going in quite a large sparse world, we also had the problem of Tatooine! In that how do you get any resources,  bar buying it ( no trees here ! ). and if you’re buying then how do you earn money.

Along comes resource points.. The basic idea is that a control point is setup by admins in the world, this when clicked is captured by a player, and while they are in control of it, the point gives them money and even points towards their town if you are using towny. It also allows the owning player access to chests surround the control point which “mine” a variety of things and produce a product such as coal from coal ore and water from the air. so you have money and a physical product to collect which can be sold from each point.

This naturally causes players to migrate towards these points to try to capture them so while there may be towns all over the world players wont sit idly by when they could be fighting another town to try and gain or retain control of a resource.

Server owners have also reported back this is quite good in a PVP server environment – again to force the players together  in certain spots to encourage a fight

enjoy 🙂
