How Does the Loan System Work?

The loan system lets members borrow points from the server bank and repay them over time with interest. Server admins can configure the terms, and borrowers who don't repay on time will have their assets frozen until the debt is settled.

Borrowing Points

Use /loan borrow to take out a loan. The amount you can borrow is based on two limits β€” whichever is lower applies:

  • Your balance limit, a multiple of your current balance (default: 2Γ—)

  • Bank limit, a percentage of the server's bank balance (default: 50%)

For example, if you have 1,000 points and the bank has 500 points, your maximum loan would be 250 points (50% of the bank).

You can only have one active loan at a time. You'll need to fully repay it before taking out another.


Interest

Loans accrue interest over the life of the loan. Interest is a fixed percentage of the principal, calculated proportionally based on how much of the loan period has elapsed β€” not compounding.

The default interest rate is 15%. Your server admin may have configured a different rate.

Use /loan status at any time to see exactly how much you currently owe, including accrued interest.


Repaying

Use /loan repay to make a payment. You can:

  • Specify an amount to make a partial payment

  • Leave the amount blank to repay the full balance at once

Partial payments are recorded and reduce your remaining balance. The bank receives the funds back as you repay.


Due Dates and Grace Periods

Every loan has a due date (default: 30 days) and a grace period after that (default: 7 days). This gives you a window to repay even after the due date passes without immediate penalty.

Period

What it means

Before due date

Loan is active, spending is unrestricted

After due date, within grace period

Loan is overdue, repay as soon as possible

After grace period expires

Assets are frozen


Asset Freezing

If your grace period expires without full repayment, your assets are frozen. While frozen, you cannot:

  • Pay points to other members

  • Purchase items from the shop

  • Gift items

  • Play coinflip or dice

Your balance remains intact, it's just locked until the loan is repaid. Once you fully repay the loan with /loan repay, your assets are unfrozen immediately.


Checking Your Loan Status

Use /loan status to see a full breakdown of your current loan:

  • Principal amount borrowed

  • Interest rate and accrued interest

  • Total amount owed

  • Amount already repaid

  • Remaining balance

  • Due date

  • Estimated weekly payment to repay on time

  • Full payment history

The embed is color-coded: green when everything is on track, orange when overdue but within the grace period, and red when the grace period has expired or assets are frozen.
