what're everyone's thoughts on donations? like, donating to servers? would you do so to offset the costs of maintaining the server? would you to encourage development time, or only for special donator rewards? what're your thoughts on those donator rewards? how should donators be treated? on a more direct note, would you donate to me if i were to set up a donation system? assuming i set you up with a rad-ass server, of course. |
| Pecon:
My opinion is that donating for the sole purpose of paying for the costs incurred by owning a server should be perfectly fine. I have definitely donated to servers before to help them pay for the hosting, I encourage development and rewards (to an extent). I think donor rewards can be cool awesome things, but not things that affect the gameplay of the server in a significant manner. I usually think donors should just be treated like normal players, they shouldn't be above any rules and the rewards they get are all they need for compensation. |

I donated a dollar to Elm's in exchange for nothing, I didn't even want the prize lol, Elm needs that dollar for whatever. |

The only server I ever even considered donating to was Pload's Prison Escape. The only reason I didn't was because it disappeared off the face of the earth before I got the chance. In any case, I considered donating to him because his game was unique, very well done, he was offering purely cosmetic rewards for a measly two bucks, and most of all the professionalism of it all. I knew I was dealing with someone who actually deserved and could use the money wisely, and who clearly knew what they were doing. If you can provide all of that, I think people will donate to you. |
