About my server's donation!

[Paristôn]

Hey all !
My server has just start working two days ago.

Actually it's my second time i open a server, but this time i see it successing.

So, well i'm not caring about money as i care about entertain myself by watching my server successing.. and entertain players by letting them have fun!

In the same time, you should keep in mind that, at least i need to pay the host price that's all i need.

So donation is necessary for only this reason.
Well, directly, what specifically should i sell?

In my donation page i posted CPs prices and CHI prices with VIPs > but some friends told me that's a bad decision.

That's why i posted here to know what specifically should i sell to keep the entertainment of the server as it's a PvP server.

I don't know if that forbidden or not actually but you should take a look on my server thread to understand how it works!

Here :

Also, check VIP advantages in my server wiki


Would help.

Thanks and waiting for opinions

Sell a better server. I'm serious. Make unique features and people will subscribe, or that's what I keep hearing from people actually interested in private servers. You wouldn't need to give donators unfair advantages. People would actually be playing for the playability rather than the marketability.

I suggest donations for garments and similar, this wouldn't give players any advantages and it is something players usually like to have.

Yeah, i'm trying to fix my server bugs periodically as fast/hard as i can. Server started week ago but i still finding some issues, most of 'em have been solved.
Also i'm developing server advantages and features, decreasing the payment items "So that i had removed (CPS Donation) no more cp selling" also increased the VIP price so that not all can get it and kick the rest of players"

Besides, i have designed VIP system to be advantaged but not too higher than normal player > e.g. Designed Hunting map for 136 normal archer: 2CPs each monster
On the other hand > VIP 1: Has a map that drops 4 CPs each monsters. "Not a big deal right?"

VIP 1/2 > 4 CPs
VIP 3/4 > 6 CPS "VIP 4 is the starting of AUTO-HUNTING feature".
VIP 5/6 > 8 CPs
VIP 7 > 10 CPs

is that good enough or should be redesigned?

So, now i'm only selling VIP from VIP 1 to VIP 6

Do you wanna suggest any other items?

Garments and Accessories do you mean? Do you think players will care about this items?

Also if i mean GoldPrize and GoldCup .. etc, I don't like this idea actually i wanna make the server BALANCED that's why i made GoldPrize only from Lord Tokens from GuildWar and Super GW.

And please take a look at my previous comment and suggest if something should be edited

That's not what I meant, but I suppose advice is at the mercy of the interpreter. It's easy to direct the crowd; the challenge comes in maintaining interest. Nothing about those rewards spark incentive for me to give you my money. Not a single item in that game with either - no gain over players, no special treatment over appearance. Why wouldn't I do that on another server? Why any server? Why yours. Not that it matters. You won't take my approach because the same flock with come and go through your server like the others, and I assume that's what you're interested in; otherwise, it becomes too risky. It's just the nature of this community and unimaginative servers.

Yeah i understand, The server should be special enough. Once the player sense that is the server he really want it's different from others with imaginative features and great updates, he will pay to get the entertainment in such a server.

But wait that makes me wanna ask you Fang > Why don't you open a p-server? xD
