Was thinking back to ideas people were proposing in chat like a casino where players could gamble coins or resources (Or blocks that represent money, like poker chips) through games adapted to suit MC and the often brought up arena/coliseum idea where players could fight for the chance of winning cash in different events (Hand to hand, team deathmatch etc) and where others could visit to watch or bet on the outcome of said games.
I'm sure most will agree that these areas could be very fun, especially if these were established by or within towns to bring in money and secure neutral/friendly relationships with visitors, but that they have large obstacles stopping them from being realised.
1. PvP in non combat orientated areas (Casino/Stands of an arena).
2. Getting players to pay for entry without sneaking in or hiding out in the area.
3. Location and how easy it is to get across the map to these areas.
I don't think that having PvP safe havens available for a price is sensible or likely for such player created businesses.
I'd rather suggest that there be an option to region an area so that upon entry to that region the player automatically has the appropriate coin amount deducted (A message informing the player would be needed also). This would obviously require some sort of set up cost to the business owner, say 10 times the amount the region will charge for each visit? And would come with a set of rules, eg. It must be sign posted and walled off to prevent accidental entry.
Point 3 is something that will probably get addressed in time, right now we have mark and recall but I imagine that travel and transport will be expanded upon later.
