  2. Thank you. Someone on SMP7 was being rude and said "Darn Aikar always being a socialist and letting everyone have fireworks. I have been saving up sulfur for months to sell them and now everyone will have them." then he went on to boast about having money and all the "poor people" shouldn't get them :/

    I'm having fun shooting them off with my friends. So...sorry if we crash SMP7 >.>

  6. It is a feature meant for everyone to enjoy, however, due to how 'expensive' the recipe is, it is really unobtainable for those players lower on the income bracket. So, by making it infinite, you create an opportunity for all players to use them. I can tell you already they are still worth money. You can still sell a creeper head firework for quite a bit considering the only way to make one currently is to use a Wither Skull. So guaranteed 7k right there.

    We do not need any items that are vanilla, that are just flat out unattainable because 'it is not affordable' . This is NOT an economy server, so if we can provide a chance for all players to utilize a vanilla item, especially one that is meant for fun and has no real use, then yes, we will try to do so. Notice that they are just not free. We could have easily thrown a shop sign at the Empire Shop for 'Free Fireworks'. However, we know that you guys can still make money. So instead of raising prices, creating a harder system for new players to enjoy new things, this keeps most things right where they were.

    So yes, from an economic standpoint, of keeping an 'Even Playing Field' rather than tilting to one direction or the other... it makes sense.
  7. Lol,I removed it before I read your post since I relized that I was right in a wrong way... :p

  8. You still were not really right. Im sorry, but saying that something does not make 'economic sense' just because you could have made more money, does not make sense. Just like if a player who had no money came on and said the same thing, but that it should have been free. Its not about making money, but we are not going to cut you guys out. Instead of introducing a new item that either swayed heavy to one direction or the other, it basically keeps the economy the same. Minus the significant traffic in sulfur. Which is you want to make money right now, that is the way to go, people are buying it like hotcakes.
  9. Thanks for the quick updating but there goes my firework bussiness :-(

  10. Actually you can still make money off them. Just keep paper, sulfur, dyes and the other items needed in stock and people will buy. On SMP7 we went through a ton of stuff making lots of them to try out and for eachother. :)

  11. Yep, even with the infinite use thing, there are still hundreds or even thousands of possible fireworks.
    You will have plenty of business for collectors.

  13. I don't think making fireworks is all that expensive... I just made three different ones and the only thing that cost much at all was the diamonds because I wanted the trailing effect. You can EASILY gather up all the materials to make a firework.

    is it just me though or are redstone repeaters not functioning normally?

  14. The creeper head fireworks can be quite expensive if you want one for every colour.

  15. Good job getting EMC bugs fixed and new features added. I think Aikar and the crew are doing very well. Only one issue to report from last night (11pm EST or so).....fireworks projected from dispensers were one-time-use and disappeared right after the first shot. Manually everything works great but dunno about those dispensers. If this has been fixed before I write this...pls disregard :p

    Rock on EMC!
  16. The dispenser bug has been fixed
