    Problem:
    Houses costing more than 50k/week are rarely used, even by active teams. The most valuable part of a house is the ability to /team hq.

    Occupied houses increase the feeling of community on Wild West, leading to better player experience. Empty houses make the server feel quiet.


    Idea 1: Team Taxes
    Code to let team owners to set a weekly tax to be a part of their team. X gold is collected per week from each team member, and sent to the owner of the team. If a team member does not have enough in their bank to pay taxes, they are auto-kicked from the team (they can always ask to rejoin).

    This would allow teams to more easily work together to purchase a large house. Currently almost all large houses are unused.


    Idea 2: Cheap Temporary Housing
    2 new kinds of houses:
    Tent:
    10k/week, 2 chests. Cannot be made into a Team HQ, still lets the owner use /home. Located a bit outside of towns, in PvP zones. No closable door. Rent cannot be paid in advance for more than 1 week.
    Shack:
    20k/week, 4 chests. Cannot be made into a Team HQ, still lets the owner use /home. Located just outside of towns, in PvP zones. Has a closable gate/door. Rent cannot be paid in advance for more than 1 week.

    This would allow for newer players to experience housing for themselves. It does not offer a /team hq, but it lets them have a base to return to. The fact that it cannot be rented in advance will ensure that only relatively active players are able to use these.


    In my opinion, Players with VIP/MVP/Elite (and Sheriffs) should not be able to rent these cheap houses. It is easy to forget how hard Wild West can be for a new, non-ranked player.

    Feel like the team tax idea is easily abuseable, change the value to max before the weekly collection to take all of team members' stored money and kick them from team.

    I have to agree with you, although i would love this to be added, this could be a very big problem. What happens if one team member goes on vacation or if they don't have enough money?

    1. I like this idea. I think that there should be a command which the team member can then pay the tax for the week. This would prevent it being able to be abused. Something like /team paytax. +1

    2. I also like this idea. Having a more wide range of housing would be good. But I don't know if not letting ranked players use it would be fair. People buy ranks to have an advantage and support the server, not have a disadvantage. +0
