My opinion on donating is that it's helpful to the host of the server.
Whether the player is running the server off of their own network or running it off of Kaphost or RTB or something, it's still nice to donate.
If they're running it off of a desktop computer, the money can perhaps go toward getting smoother internet speed so there's less lag.
If they're using a hosting service, the money can perhaps go toward keeping the server up and running.
I don't see the point of donating on Blockland servers, it's what $6 a month? You can easily pull that out of your pocket by a month. Just save $2 a week or for 3 weeks or something and bam. The only game id see fit to donate would be monecraft servers since those servers are actually expensive like $15-$20 a month.
I see no point in donating to a server that costs less than an average 9 year old's weekly allowance to maintain
You see, people like you tick me off.
The donations don't only go toward the hosting of the server, they also go toward the host himself.
The host doesn't have to host the server. They could shut it down whenever they like.
Donating to them not only pays for the server, but shows appreciation. It's kind of like a thank you.
Regarding the last point, a donation is a donation. I hate people who give features for donating.
That's not donating. That's simply paying for features.
Donating should be done out of sole likelihood of the server.
It's like giving money to a hobo and expecting him to give you a free car.
People like you also tick me off.
Again, the donations do not only go toward the server, they also go to the host directly as a thank you.
As a token of appreciation, the person who donated the money is given special features.
And no, technically you're not paying for extra features.
If you only want features, you're probably only going to donate one penny and get away with it.
However, that's why most of the time to get "VIP" you have to donate fifteen or more.
Only someone who really loves the server and is truly donating from the heart will donate that much.
Even I wouldn't pay that much simply to get a few extra features.
Somewhat off topic here:
Kalphiter, please stop yelling at everyone.
Just because you hate RTB doesn't mean that you always have to rage every post Ephialtes makes.
Just shut up, go about your business and let Ephialtes go about his.
RTB is not a required feature, therefore it's nothing you have to complain about.
It's a wonder how your computer doesn't just explode with all the stuff you post.
P.S. Don't flame me for bringing this off topic again. I now declare this argument over. If you quote me and try to go continue the argument, it only proves that you can't just deal with it.
