' 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.

I wasn't suggesting a monthly fee, my prior post stated "one-time" very clearly. 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.

Hmm... this is true. 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

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.

Talk about yourself mate , living in the US ... 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 ...

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.

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...

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 >.>

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.
