[Poll] Build Claiming, How long do you think it should be?

[Pri]

I thought I'd gauge what the community thinks. At the moment it's 3 months / 90 days. I've added some options to the poll please vote on what you think

Please note this only applies to builds that aren't towns as we do not allow land to be claimed at all if it is protected by a town.

Oh I forgot, feel free to reply in the thread if your thoughts go beyond just the poll options

ok then heres my thought if players wnt to we should be able to leave wills if we are leaving the server that way random strangers dont get our builds

I think 9 months is perfectly fine, I do believe the 3 months is way to short, I seen a lot of great builders take breaks from time to time and come back to finish. I just hate for it to come down to picking and choosing builds that people can rip down.

I agree I think 9 months is fair. That's coming from a guy whom likes claiming builds lol.

As much as looting is fun, I definitely agree with 9 months. I have seen a lot of people take breaks that last around that long (myself included). This server is just too amazing for anyone to leave for longer than that

Maybe the 3 month rule could still exist but only apply to people who had only played on the server for 3 months or less before leaving? That way does make a lot of sense for the people who join the server for 10 minutes and then leave forever.

I don't think it should be 9 months I feel that's way too long. Because players Come on for 5 mins once every 4 months just to try stuff out then they leave. Cluttering up the server. If anything I believe it should either stay the same way we have been doing it for ages or push it to 5-6 months.

See I'm not really thinking about the people who come on for 1 day and never come back again, no one really claims those anyway its just mostly a simple box house and one chests those people leave behind, I'm looking at a bigger picture of the bigger builds people have put a lot of time into. One of the main appeals to me when I joined this server was the promise of all my builds being safe and the server never resetting.

But let's face it people are 90% build claiming for chests and expensive blocks. Not 10x10 Block huts with a chest of starter gear and some mushroom soup. I just really think we should be putting a little more time on their builds to give the benefit of the doubt.

I really like ZapperZ idea of maybe separate the rules into two sections. One for people who have played then less then a week have the builds set for 3 months. And players who have played for months or even years a 6-9 month grace period.

That's what i was talking about people that come on for 6 months then leave and stuff. I'm using Explorer790, my friend as an example. he comes online to keep his stuff from being claimed by joining for 5 mins. that's what i wasn't talking about.

After thinking about it, I'm regretting voting for 6 months. I think, coming from personal experience, that 6 months is too short of time if something big comes up unless something can be said ahead of time, such as what Failure suggested (although I think that might already be something in place).
