Looked for 30min couldn't find a thread specifically like this and the other one that was only similar got shut down by Krysyy b4 discussion could happen. But yeah if you have a higher rank then you get more entities. Or Make it in the form of and entity voucher. -Idea by vortixin Written by me as I have been forced into slavery for him
Do you mean entities in-town on residences, or out in the waste/frontier? For in town, you can basically already do this as a supporter: Normal players only get 1 residence, and 100 entities on that residence. A gold supporter has the opportunity to get a second res, doubling the number of entities they have in-town. In addition, if they get their 2nd res on Utopia, then they will get 150 entities instead of only 100. A diamond supporter get's a total of 4 reses, thus a total of 400 entities, or 450 if one of their reses are on Utopia. So, supportership already gives you more entities than being a regular player on EMC. If you are talking about out in the waste or frontier, that entity limit likely won't be raised. That entity limit is set at that point to prevent server lag from too many entities. While this is more of a dev issue, I can tell you that the chances of the entity limit getting raised either in-town or in the waste/frontier is very slim. EMC has already created many opportunities for players to have tons of entities, both for supporters and for players not in-town.
As that is true some people prefer to have more entities in a single residence. There are ways around this like a long time ago I made a cow farm with 400 cows by placing it smack middle between 4 reses above the road but thats kind of a pain. A new idea is maybe instead of each res gets 100 mobs maybe each account gets 100-400 based on rank? That is a big change though
how would it work if someone downgraded? Remove all their animals? You then would run into the issue we had in 2012 where people would lag hard core from hundreds of animals on one res... then when the res is resets, it would cause lag during the reset...
What I am saying is, supporters already can do this. The feature you are asking for, has already been added. With the way things are currently setup, supporters already get up to 4 times as many entities as a non-supporter. That is a pretty generous increase, in my opinion. In addition, entity limits are probably already as high as Aikar can make them. I would assume that going any higher would result in too much server lag. In fact, I am sure somebody could find a quote from Aikar somewhere, where he states that he will not raise the entity limit anymore. I am sure there have been many suggestions in the past to raise the entity limit that he has rejected, and given an opinion on. If you need more than 450 entities available to you in town, then your only option is to get an alt. Otherwise, you will have to move your projects into the frontier, since the entity limit is slightly higher out there. Plus, you have as much space as you need to spread the mobs out, so that you can have as many as you want in your outpost.
