| Rub:
PayPal IPN for proper payment pages isn't the nicest of codes, probably above the level of a beginner. |

All you do is tell him your email address and an amount of time for the server, then he sends you payment requests and server credentials. --- End quote --- You have to open a Paypal account. What is so hard to understand, don't play dumb with me. --- End quote --- I didn't have to. Why would anyone else need to? |

You don't have to join anything, though? You simple send Kalphiter a PM saying you want to buy a server for X amount of time. He sends you a link. You click that link, pay via paypal (no signing up needed at all). He sends you some log-in details. It honestly takes under an hour, possibly a few minutes, if you're both online. |

There should be no manual intervention by Kalphiter in order for someone to purchase and start a server. I think people are too quick to give Kalphiter a free pass and say "well hey, this is just Blockland - it doesn't have to be professional, it's just a lego game!" but at the end of the day you are giving him your real life money for a service. When your real life money becomes involved you should expect professionalism. |
