I voted for timed but I don't want a 30 minute waiting period like /home

3 hours then? excellent. Done.

With portals being probably around where most people are, I don't really see the need for /spawn, other than people wanting to take the least amount possible with every single thing there is in the game, and just be lazy and using /spawn. I think honestly the things that should be stripped down are the things that would make game play easier to do like /spawn or /home, teleporting, compass porting, flying (last 3 for the ops+). One of the reasons I started losing interest in smp is how easy it started to become, it's called survival multiplayer for a reason. If people want everything instantly given to them they shouldn't be playing smp. If we have things like teleporting for free use, people are going to lose interest in the server, and just leave because there isn't a challenge. In the end, they want to work hard for everything, and really earn it all, and when they do, they will feel great accomplishment and be happier players on the server. That's how I see it at least, even if they don't think it now.

I insist...

If there are easy access portals, then no /spawn.

If someone decided to live far into the wilderness where there is no portal at all, then spawn to the nearest portal, with a timer, sounds like a good option.

One /spawn and one /home every half hour sounds good.

(sorry for short answers, I am really tired atm. This is the amount of logic I have in my head so...)

I left the 1.7.3 Who said I couldn't come back for 1.... what are we on now?

And besides, even if I don't play, the input can help right

But....

If you got some random cost like: $125.56868 , that goes into decimals, than we could just round it back to basic 2 digit cents ($125.57). Or just round it back to basic dollars ($126).

Idea 3 also sounds good with some kinda of distance calculator.

The thing is, is it possible to configure it like that?

Okey, I've read through everyone's posts and it seems as though, players want the 'adventure' part of the game to stand out more, so I thought up a few idea's.

Idea 1: pay a fee of $50 to teleport to the spawn.. *simple

Idea 2: pay a fee starting at $5 and every time you want to use /spawn the price doubles.. But when the price say gets to $320 the price resets back to $5... Ect..

Idea 3: pay a fee To teleport to the spawn, DEPENDING on your current where abouts on the map.. ( the further away you are from the spawn, the more it costs ).

Example:

I am about 1500 blocks from the spawn, it would cost me $150 to teleport back to the spawn.

So here is the basic rule to figure out how much it'll cost you:

DistanceFromSpawn x 0.1 = CostOfTeloportation

But....

If you got some random cost like: $125.56868 , that goes into decimals, than we could just round it back to basic 2 digit cents ($125.57). Or just round it back to basic dollars ($126).

Well, to be honest Im not sure if you would be able to understand all this gibberish, but if you do.. Thanks..

(remember these are just "made up on the spot" ideas...)

Just a suggestion, I think that there should be a command like /spawn that teleports you automatically to the market. Also, I like blueflame's idea I of a cost to teleport to places.
