I am working on a freeroam/stunt server and am taking suggestions for VIP features/commands.
Please leave any suggestions, thanks!

The ability to do pretty much anything and everything a normal player cannot do. Was that so hard?

There was no need to give me a rude answer like that, I was simply taking suggestions. That being said, your answer is shit as was to be expected from a person like you.
Seriously? buy vip now to ban, kick, fine, slap, close the server, give people cash and MORE OVERPOWERED SHIT |
VIP, eh it's just killing a server. Making it more play to win.
If you can make it not pay to win, maybe it'll be a better server. |
I hate things like this. Just because someone donated some money (by choice) to your server doesn't grant them more rights than a normal player. Donating should be the same as funding a political party: you do it to encourage the development of the party and to show you back them.
So when you start granting vehicles, more houses, bigger paychecks, more guns etc it becomes a p2w environment where those who have the money to donate are those who have the best time on the server - which is unfair. Communities strive from fairness and enjoyment, and to give a minority of players (donators) everything they want because they had given you a donation is being money-greedy. Addition: Because nowadays most people don't donate to back the server - but to get advantages out of it. Another Addition: If it's for freeroam then sure, give them tonnes of shit but if it's RP or TDM style modes i wouldnt give them shit |
A part of me died inside after I saw you quoted yourself in your own signature...
But on topic: you're right, players SHOULD donate to back the server instead of getting advantages. Reality is that players need an incentive to do. Best example I know is Horizon Roleplay. They tried a system where players may donate without getting anything but it didn't even work. Although some people did, including someone buying them a vBulletin license, it wasn't enough for them to cover their server expenses. They eventually added a VIP/donator system that offered some benefits, but no ourageous ones. |
