And on that note, this isn't really the time to implement that. I believe that they are right in wanting to focus on the bare essentials, start off small and work the server back into its growth.

There should of course be some kind of quality control to submitted content.
I agree that they should focus on the bare essentials first, but they should do it while the server is still online and accessible.
Otherwise, if the server is subject to the regular playerworld rules, it'd have to be completed before submitted to review, and therefore include little to none player content.

I believe there was a little value for money in the past, but not in terms of economy that involves trading between players. Since the money was mostly used for quests, players had to spend some time cutting bush or request other players to aid them. You could look at the money-collecting process as a part of a quest.

The question is whether an implementation of a more complicated economy is really needed.

I'm not sure what you mean by only default tiling. I believe levels such as this should be avoided (no offence to the creator).
I believe the simple style should be maintained as it creates some differentiation, stays loyal to the original concept, and of course, I also personally prefer this style.
