Key
Key is the common currency of Tog SMP servers. It's preferably used virtually instead of physical, mostly because it sets prices on absolutely all blocks and items of Minecraft.
History
Tog survival multiplayer
The term key was offially implented at Tog SMP physically, taking base in minerals. 1 irong ingot was worth 1 key, and that made the fundament of the everlasting currency. Key was used physically a long time until the iConomy plugin was installed. Key was now measured virtual, which really helped it get easy to use and understand.
Tog survival adventure server
Key is most known from Tog SAS, as it was the currency from the start and is still used. It was based on the key from the previous Tog SMP, and used the same prices. However, the value debilitated over time. This started when the first businesses were established. The shop owners mindlessy set the prices fairly low, and kept lowering them as new businesses entered the market. This made the original prices obsolete, and they were gradually lowered. The iron ingot price, which always had been 1 key, was first lowered to 0.5 key, together with all other prices, and later on got decreased to 0.25 key, 0.2 key and down to 0.1 key, the current price. When Bogdan12spore began purchasing properties he also lowered the prices of minerals, making the prices so low, people experienced trouble with the virtual money system not be able to handle all the decimals.
Prices
The start amount of money was set to 16 key. A 16x16 lot costed 4 key, a flat 6 key and a business 10 key. The lot size was later increased to 16x24 though keeping the same price. The business life started by Bogdan12spore's investments used big amounts of money. A floor at the office building was 10 key, with companies often buying several floors. Then, the rave club was sold with an astonishing 600 key price tag.
Mettie creative
At Mettie creative key was used again. However, this time the value was increased. People started with 1000 key, unlike Tog SAS, where the start amount was 16 key. At this server money has less direct impact on players. But with the new NPC system money is used in a way mostly unaffecting players.
Prices
The start amount is at 1000 key. A flat varies from 400-800 key, residents from 800-2000 key, and companies at several thousands. Most companies need a start capital of 5000 key at least.
