Hey,
The pvp server donations are separate. Yes the server is ran under the Minetown brand but there is a second owner (DynamusX) and the server is hosted on his hardware. This being said, we are splitting up the pvp donations to cover the hosting cost and other fees. The packs had to be separate from the main server packs to create a better pvp experience and there would have been no positive points for DynamusX to merge his server with us if he wouldn't receive any compensation.
The pvp server is the only server planned to have separate donations for the moment, all other worlds planned in the cluster should be included under the current packs. This concept isn't new also, a lot of servers have separate packages for each of their servers.
We are still working out the permissions and groups, some stuff will change, but some stuff is also meant to be different than on the main server. We are not aiming to create a pvp version of the main server here, but a different server experience in overall. So some features will definitively be different.
The main server moderators are staffing on it, although they are right now more active than they will be in the future (just because it's new and everyone feels like going on it) and we will need staff that will be assigned to it just to make sure it is moderated enough without overloading our current staff team. Some staff members of the "old server" were also kept in the server merge.
And we have a second application, because it's not everyone who enjoy the pvp gameplay. This server isnt whitelisted or graylisted, and there is a lot more disputes between people. The ambiance is quite different and might not be the kind of server some people could want to play on.
