Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Sp)iN - 11-10-2009 ' Wrote:$5/$10 ain't that much... I spend $5.36 on Red Bull on Mondays and that's only for one day, $10 for... forever is nothing. You are very right, 5$ - 10$ a month 120$ or 60$ a year is not that much. But it is just one more bill that I, personally, would not wish to pay. I would have to re-set up pay pal and it becomes a big mess of things to remember. Some people may not know how to do this, or, as this is a family based server for the most part, how many parents would allow their kids to do such? Edit: Even 5$ to essentially, buy the shiny new "Discovery Freelancer Mod" would turn into a very problematic situation. Donations are another matter, for those who feel strongly about helping the community out then donate! Donate 10 bucks per month or by the year to lend a hand. But making this Mod a Pay per month or something that you need to buy, in my opinion, would kill discovery.

That would help with server hosting for a little while, but it's not intended to cover it, more to deter the lolwutters.

I apologize to Zack for misreading his post, however the point of forcing people to pay anything, stands.

New players who haven't played the game would be a little mad. Perhaps the "local" servers (USA, UK, etc) would remain free to use? Just throwin' around ideas, tbh Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Sp)iN - 11-10-2009 Fair enough mate.:) The only problem would be however, if all the other Discovery servers minus GC were free, what would it do to the GC Member base? I don't want to go about killing your ideas at all, I think that if people are passionate about this MOD they will fork over some cash to help out, with out being forced to do so. \|/ I agree with oldum as well. \|/ Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Oldum - 11-10-2009 ' Wrote:$5/$10 ain't that much...

Where I live, somewhere in the middle of nowhere , $10 is like what I pay for food for 4 days ... so please note that not everyone has the financial background to pay for everything ... not everyone is rich or a kid of rich parents ... Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Seth Karlo - 11-10-2009 I don't think I could afford to pay a regular fee. I've donated to the server every now and again what I had, but I'm saving up for university, and of course... what about the BOOZE?!?!?! All joking aside, if Freelancer became pay to play I would most likely leave. -Seth Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - globalplayer-svk - 11-10-2009 i am sure, we, yes i type we, as community find a solution that will be good for all. this is not end of discoverygc server, and this will never be the end... Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Zack - 11-10-2009 Perhaps it was my perspective, I'm not rich by any means, I fall into lower-middle-class in the USA, but I'd be willing to pay for this. That also might've been from months and months of paying $60/month for WoW, I personally think this game is worth much, much more than a one-time 'registration' fee of $5. I'm pretty sure the only "community members" you'd lose would be the people who just want to pirate some people to make themselves feel better, not the people who RP. Quote:I don't think I could afford to pay a regular fee.Like I said, one-time only. Pay to set yourself apart from all the lolwuts who just want to get some giggles once a week. *edit* Note: This is all me just being hypothetical, I have no sway over what happens here beyond my opinions >.> Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack - Cannon - 11-10-2009 We'll never charge for people to play here - apart from the legal issues - we're not that kind of community. We may need to survive from donations but this is a different thing and there are enough people, me included, that will not let the server disappear. This is but a temporary outage - nothing more. |
