	Towny Ports Arrive Too Late: Toward the tail end of Lumen, the long‑promised “Towny Ports” system finally launched—but so late that few nations could integrate it. Worse, each docking cost an escalating fee, making transportation a luxury. By the time ports stabilized, most had left the server or struggled to use it.

	'''Nether Overload & Price Collapse:''' For the first time, EarthPol opened its Nether to players. The result? Netherite—a previously rare end‑game resource—became dirt cheap. By the version's end, its market value down to a mere 50 gold per ingot. What was meant to add a high‑stakes resource hunt instead hollowed out the economy.

	'''Sphere of Influence:''' Lumen introduced a “Sphere of Influence” mechanic that—under the banner of realism—strictly confined nations to claim new towns only within a fixed radius of their capital. In practice, this meant burgeoning empires were blocked from rapid expansion. Many saw it as an artificial curb on creativity and found themselves petitioning staff for manual overrides.
