This will be hosted on my web server. Backups will be made automatically, and data will be sent to a backup server hourly. All data is kept safe with ASP.NET 4 Security Checks. Also, there is a market for blockStar. A lot of people prefer to use their own server, and with blockStar, they can do that. It's a very easy concept. Then there are people who host servers, or run clans that host their own servers. |

The hard part about hosting is having good hardware and a good connection. You're offering basic remote management functionality that exists for free for most other games and will eventually exist for free for Blockland too, be it through RTB or something someone else makes. Nobody's going to pay a subscription to be able to remotely manage a server they host themselves, sorry. |

Not saying i'm a cheapo, but its a rip off. |

Considering all that you get for merely 3$ a month, I would count on people buying it. If that person wants to spend 2 more dollars, probably give up a few features, and have their server hosted, then they can do so. I can't stop them. However, I have been contacted by many people asking when they will be able to subscribe. This acts as adamant evidence to me that this idea is well desired. It will take me releasing this to prove that this model does work. I'm not going in blind here. I assure you that. If blockStar got only 2 subscribers, it would be worth it. But I assure you that it will attract well over 2 subscribers. |

Oh my god. It makes no sense to have it that expensive (for what it offers). It should either be a one time payment or like, a dollar. Also, no offence, but the interface looks kind of ugly imo. |
