well it would be a good way for members of a clan to contribute properly. though, i find benefits of donating for any other reason slim to none. maybe that crappy tdm can start me off with 50 kills up front or something. |

Can there be a way of logging people who donate and some kinda safe way of implementing features only for donors like hats or skins? --- End quote --- Ephi and I talked about exposing the list of donators via a method in the RTB server hosting addon, then you can programatically give donators privileges or whatever. |

You can't guarantee that the person you donate to will still want to host after you've donated, I suppose. But it atleast guarantees that all they can do with the donations is use it to host more. Which is a much heavier load off of my mind if I donate. I would be annoyed if I donated and the server shut down, but I'd be even more annoyed if I donated and that person shut down and solely used their donation money for buying themselves Steam Games or something. --- Quote from: Bisjac on May 26, 2013, 04:02:21 PM ---well it would be a good way for members of a clan to contribute properly. --- End quote --- That's a pretty good point. It would also be quite useful for those server hosts who occasionally hold big (sometimes annual) Events. Like Building competitions (money could even go towards prizes), Holiday events, Build/Clan Expos and other such stuff. |
