Now there are many factors to consider when deciding if something like this is broken, our loot refreshes every 7 game days (10.5 hours of real server uptime) and although it was notched down to 75% the sheer amount of containers within Slaanhatten combined with the easy access to the hub meant people were stocking up on an alarmingly high number of coins in a short period of time. What we didn't realise when we launched the server was Valmar had also adjusted his own version of the vendors and while I did build one quite early on I was too naive in their function as a gateway to bypass the hard earned progression we are usually forced into when playing the overhaul version of his mod. The introduction of the NPC traders meant players could sell virtually all of their excess loot for coins and although they would only accept a certain amount of each item until their loot timer refreshed we felt the competition on a busy server to be the one who could make the trade and perhaps buy the few decent items available was a reasonable thing to allow unchecked for the most part. There was a good balance to the items made available, the quality they were delivered at and the rarity of the coins used to purchase them. The catch?, besides from a rather large delivery (crafting) time and the rarity of the currency needed, the items purchased were a uniform 300 quality, which in the early game could be quite a powerful investment if you were lucky to collect enough coins and towards the endgame became a bit more like a convenient way to keep yourself fed and watered.

In the previous version of Valmod, he rather cleverly included a custom workstation that would act as a merchant delivery box where players could spend some dukes (in-game currency found infrequently) to 'mail-order' items ranging from food and drinks all the way to the almighty sniper rifle and other various weapons. Now with the PvP rule set and our hallmark 'anything goes' attitude we decided to ramp up claim protection to give the not so active/casual players a chance at not having to log into an empty base and hopefully reduce the amount of people who finally crumble and leave when they can't be arsed to 'start' again. We've always made PvP available, much to the dismay of many who come along thinking they are gonna get the ultimate zombie survival experience only to find it's an unforgiving brutal game of hide and seek where the active and stronger players prey on the weak, living off them like cattle in a field.

For those new to multiplayer or 7D2D in general, the claim blocks are an item which when placed in the world offer massively increased protection from player damage, almost full damage protection against explosives and ring a very loud alarm style bell whenever another player hits a block within their protective radius. The last area worth mentioning is our claim block adjustments. It does not seem like much, but when the blood moon shines those extra 8 minutes of horde time can be the difference between just scraping through the night and a total devastation death fest.

We increased the length of our game days to 90 mins giving people extra travelling/scavenge time and punishing them with a nighttime that lasts 30 mins instead of the default which clocks in around 20-22 mins. The expanded cell size required to decently spawn in Slaanhatten already helped to thin out the amount of hubs our playable area contained and rather than repeat what we've done in the past with the custom cells containing the larger community built prefabs we decided to sex up the central area even more and drop a nice selection of them around the edges of the giant city filling in some of the empty areas. Our map this time made even more of an effort to deliver our dream of a more 'urban style survival', limiting the amount of prefabs not just in the wilderness but also in the main cell hubs too. The large custom prefabs visible on the outskirts of the city.
