[Enjin Archive] Donater suggestions
Started by [E] ICostaEx

lock plz...
I would personly love a $300 command like jumpto, only it allows you to jump quite high, almost like a beacon, but its for a set time and has a cooldown.

This may be a bit of an unusual idea...but, perhaps add some sort of board to show how the money is being spent, so people don't think they're just handing over cash to some guy in canada so he can wash his pants.

I think that this would be a great idea!

Certainly, not all of us are as selfless as Xcoaster (as proven by the existence of this thread) so perhaps the added incentive would mean those who have currently donated a lower amount ($5-30) may save up to donate.

Very true.

I think $200 are fine without jumpto, to be honest. It is an incredibly useful command and in my opinion should be left to those more helpful to the server.

As if 200 isn't already a lot of money? I'm surprised by all the issues this server gets despite the extreme amount of money from donations it is receiving.

200 is a ton of money if your me and got thrown out of your house when you turned 18 just cause your parents could, and are forced to live on welfare its a lot of money i may have a computer with 8 core's that could practicly run mine town when its only has like 20 people on totle. my computer didn't even cost 4k so i am really wondering where our money is going with all of these dam lag spikes every 30 seconds i donated before i was put on welfare and i had my computer as well (thank god) i don't even have internet at my apartment i have to go to the local cafe to get internet. and you think its easy. granted staff does tend to donate a great deal of money, but they have had perks from day one, i really think this lag is unacceptable this server has received what 20k + in donations in the last year (probably more) i would like to see an outline of exactly where my money is going... i cant even see the amount of money we have total. so please put an outline. and disabling beacons in getting annoying on a side note, i would rather take the lag then suffer the loss of them (how much worse could it get).

I recon we are lucky to get perks in the first place <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object>

i recon not, i would bet if we didn't get perks in the first place this server would be dead or close to it in under 6 months. people just don't donate without reason.
i think i should also add that some of the people who play on here are young and don't have that kind of money. comapired to some people with a job and a structured life who can put the money down.
Closing remarks by Zio:

Donating is completely voluntary. You are donating to help the server, not for the perks. Perks help get some more donations, but the true members donate what they can as they can (ill be donating more regularly once i have a stable income...) and dont care about the perks....we have members that have donated into the thousands here that dont use perks at all...sawine could technically remove all perks if he deemed it appropriate and nothing would be thought of it by most people. A lot would speak up about it cause they donated for particular perks, but that is on them, not the server or sawine.

Seeing as we are off on a tangent, im going to close this thread now. The initial perk suggestions was answered in detail by a few people. If you have new perk suggestions make a new thread about them. I also recommend looking through old posts to see if your 'new' suggestions have already been requested and explained. Dont necro dead threads, but look to see if your answer has already been given.

/locked.
one last thing brought to my attention...what the donations go into:

All the money from donations goes into the server, plugins, maintenance, and features such as this forum site and a little bit of advertizing here and there to get our name out. Nothing out of the ordinary from what you would expect a donation to do. None of it goes to staff, players, or anything else like that. Its all for the servers. We have a massive size which costs a good bit of money on a month to month basis. You all know of the recent move, replacement of hardware and protections we had to purchase. Some of our Devs are hired and paid for their work and because of the necessity. most devs are in most servers, but they are paid for the plugins we request or have them fix, not for being around. You would have to ask sawine for a full detailed listing of what expenses there are and how much goes into each item.
