New Donation System Feedback

[cptwin]

Hey everyone now that we have the new donation system in place we want to get your constructive feedback.

Is there anything that you think we could add as perks?
Do you think perks are evenly distributed?
Are there perks you think we should remove?

Let us know what you think here, but please keep it constructive I don't want any "VIP sucks because we don't have the give command" comments.

Remove force warp with DiamondVIPs?

Redstone VIP is pretty cool I love /hat but I made my house in the sky... Nearly died when I jumped off. Could u possibly add fly? Not so much creative but just fly if possible.
Thanks bro.

I simply agree with izaaklol12, today I tried to help a person but It was really hard because of fly or if not for normal Redstone VIPS maybe UserAssistant VIPS?
Hopefully mine and izaaklol12s idea can go into consideration?
Thanks

Well I also agree, we should at least get fly after all...

I agree with the following posts about RedStone Vip asking for Fly, I know a few people who were past Silver Vip's hate the fact that they can't use creative or the least fly as that's one of the reasons they donated.

just to point something out you guys are all throwing this donation word around please think about its meaning first you should not donate to a server for perks (i know some people do) but rather because you like the server and want to see it keep running if you do get something because you donate that's cool but you shouldn't expect anything more than some form of recognition for it.

i don't believe any of you relies how hard running a server is and the fact that there is no money in it what little donations we as server owners get go back on the cost of running that server and then there is all the time put in behind the scenes to keep that server running.

now I'm not 100% sure on CptWin (I can't speak for him) but i don't run my server to make money i run it because i enjoy it and when people donate to me i really appreciate it having had conversations with some of my donators they didn't donate for the perks but rather because they relies how much a server takes to run.

So before any of you carry on crying about what you should get think about how much a server costs not just in hosting but in time spent and then wonder how much that $5 you donated is really worth because in my opinion it is-int worth fly that's why fly has been put at a more substantial donation

I never thought it that way before... I take back what I said before You donate cos you love the server.

 

[izaaklol12]

Yeh I see the logic in that so ignore my post

 

[Winter_24]

Hmm yea.. I guess i actually donated to make the server last longer... Ill just accept the permissions I have.

 

[JohnnyEC]

I think you should atleastnadd some features to the lowest VIP which I thinks is iron but either way I think you should keep it like the old donation system paying 5 bucks for creative but a little more like 10 for iron and 20 for gold

 

[Winter_24]

I probably do agree with you a bit but, The new donation system prevents "Cheating". In a case of helping friends with the old VIP is also cheating so yea...

I think the donation system has gotten worse .I dont really see the point of paying 5 dollars when all you get is full gold armour every 7 days and a stone tool set.I mainly bought vip so i could fly .It would be great if vips all had the ability to fly
Thank's

I see the word donation is also lost on you Toyota this is not about the perks and never should be it is about the longevity of the sever without donations lolnet may not exist it is what keeps it running.

Now this is purely based on guess work but I would say your $5 covers 0.27% of annual server running costs (this does not include time running or moderating the server and CptWin and the rest of the staff do a good job of this but there are endless hours put into the server and all that time is donated)

If you only donated for the perks you donated for the wrong reason also if you want to build an epic build try without creative it is much more rewarding

Cheers Dez

Ps again this post is my opinion as server owner and is not that of CptWin or any other staff

 

[Winter_24]

Well to clearly say I agree with dezil_nz. We donated to keep the server running. Stay thankful to what we get, others dont even get to do /hat or kit. Well first of all lots of us broke the rules using creative to survival. I was wondering how VIP's got rich and lots of you still break the rules, build for people. So the VIP obviously changed. Well, im thankful of the perks I get. I actually agree at a point that we donated for fly, but I wanted lolnet to last for a longer and the server will run better. So just be thankful for what we have. The DiamondVIP's are thankful

I think the new system isnt that good however it would be good if you could still fly

 

[fatso]

Yeah, i know it costs to run the server, however:
What costs to run the server most? Internet data? Power?

 

[fatso]

Also, Here are some tips:
Ditch the plugins, you don't need a s**t ton.
Use a computer that doesn't use a lot of power
Get flip's $85 unlimited gig plan, it's heaps and stuff.

 

[dezil_nz]

fatso i don't think you understand lolnet.co.nz is not run from home it is run from a data center if it was run from home with the plan you suggest we might be able to get 6-8 people on before the upload speed was at max dont think that would work to well

please if you are going to post on how to run a server or suggest ideas do some research first you can not run a server on an adsl2 connection
