Donation Problems

So here is the thing. Tim just said he would shut the server down if he doesn't reach the right amount of donations by the end of the month. That would be truly tragic, so here are some ideas to get more donations. Some ideas are drastic/dumb, but its kinda desperate.


  • Make non-donor chat grey and hard to see.
  • Ban non-donors from speaking. (Sounds mega drastic, but yeah whatever. Not sure if it is EULA complaint tho).
  • Give donors sparkle effects and stuff.
  • If not enough money comes in, make the server only open to donors at certain times. (Would reduce players though).
  • Add more content, but have a kickstarted of, let say 100 euro for that new content to be added.
  • Not sure about this one... but: add AoW maps to Siege, making it a general siege server like conwy used to be.

Any other ideas are welcome. I would insist that Tim at least implement some of these ideas - because if it is near the end, we may as well try.

Ok hold the hell up...Ban non donors from speaking? nono.

But yes there can be some new donor perks and maybe a new map.

Haha! You don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Would you rather:
a) No server
or
b) No speaking for non-donors
 
Ban non-donors from speaking? Great Idea tob! lets rip everyone off by having them pay just for them to speak! Tob, minecraft servers are suppose to be used for entertainment and to be social, not to get experience on how to live in a communist country or something like that. Removing that chat will be less interesting which leads to the part where having that server is pointless. -_-

Haha! Enough sounding like a smartass.

No one will want to stay on a server where you can't speak...

There are plenty of other donor perks that could be added.
 
Well me and [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/fj333/74.png" name="fj333"]6858712[/user] suspected this. lmao
 
thank you m4rine for supporting me. :P Anyways, maybe add a donor perk where you can get access to some point shop or get to name your weapon and/or change how it looks! idk I'm just putting some random ideas :P

Yeah whatever suggestion suggestion suggestion.
I assume you are happy with greyed out non-donor chat?
 
close AoW and main lobby/hub, clears up useless wasted server data.

add a teamless lobby to siege to all maps with cool stuff donors can access, like a viproom or leaderboards room, this lobby could also have guidelines as to how the server should be played.

add some AoW maps to siege, remove some garbage siege maps, give donors more cosmetic options.

give Sages elytra while spectating add elytra to the so called new main lobby idea ( I wonder why we don't have this type of main siege lobby dude it'd be so cool to have a lobby instead of just instantly being put in to a random team wow dude)

Honestly I would leave if this were added, so both a) and b) are the same to me.
 
open a fcking arena
and try to add class that players offered for like: 4/X offered kits for 1/X week/month and that only donors can use them (like to test them by donors and idk)
add a special abilty for each class that cost points/only donors can use.
(i had offerd that already http://www.empirewar.org/forums/m/5312442/viewthread/27451407-need-suggestions/post/120289405#post_120289405)
add something like new mini game/siege mod/idk activity that only donors can use.
add daly missions that will idk give players MP (mission points) that will translate into old donor's kits (+X points).
new maps and kits.
and let donors have thir owen skin head (not costum head).
 
Perhaps a cool-down chat for non-donors? Like that non-donors can talk every 5 seconds? Idk something like that. And Lord get reduced cool-down and the higher rank you are the faster u can talk. And idk some rank has like no cooldown.
 
No talking or cooldown for no talking is a BAD idea imo. Maybe you can name you're weapons and when you kill someone the weapon name pops up in kill feed (if you have it enabled). Don't forget there cannot be EULA breaking things either so free classes is a no no. Also donors having option for own head would be awesome too.
 
Reduced point classes!
As in the more you donate the less points you have to spend on classes.
P.S. This could work for heads too.
