Free/Discounted Accounts for Owners/High Staff

I think it would be a good future improvement to give free and/or discounted accounts to Owners/High Admins on a server.

Because Right not it's really kind of stupid if you think about it. The owners and high admins work there butts off to make a server for other people to play on, and then THEY have to pay $15 to play on their own server.

Just a thought.

Yes.
The 2k1 Police Chief should be included in that offer too.

Don't deserve it? After they spend several months creating a server so people could enjoy it? Give me a break.

But it's thanks to stefan that they even get the oppertunity to work, they should show some gratitude and pay a small fee of 15 bucks (for most playerworlds)

BBFlat, it seems that all you think is about the work the owner does when usually the owner just sits there doing nothing and has others make it. (There are exceptions)

the way I see it; we're helping Stefan by promoting his game, we're practically paying him to take our money. the least he could do is give the people who're doing a good job of promoting the game (good playerworlds like Oasis!) and upgrade their accounts for free, etc.

People don't become owner by sitting on their a$$. A lot of times, they are the creator of the server. They have loads of work to do, making sure staff is in place, etc. Exceptions? The exceptions are those owners who don't work.

I say the numbered staff accounts should be registered for their servers and their servers alone. Classic_LAT13 can play Classic free, but only Classic - when its owner quits or is fired, the password is changed and given to the next LAT.

Now that sounds right! I mean if you got access to all of them, it'd be unfair. Oh OK, I'll whip 200 levels and botta boom and then take it down and I'd still have it.

I agree with that.

Or maybe just somewhat discounted accounts for staff?

Spoke to Unixmad. He seems to like the idea of finite staff accounts that give unlimited access to that one server only. So like Classic_GP1 through Classic_GP30 will have unlimited on Classic, and when one GP is fired the password is changed and given to the next cadet. Simple. "Ono but I don't have my name on my account" cope - it was never your account to begin with.

*shrugs* Thirty? I dunno. I've never seen 30 GPs on the roster and all active...Enough, and if they need more he can make more - just nobody else can make as many as they like, so we don't get the leaders of Delteria making a free "staff" account for every player so they can play free.

Dont worry ive payed for 3 accounts one of which i never recieved credit for O-o but its not too bad if you use the accounts like Playerworld_GP ect.... they should still work for playerworlds. I do think that if an account has admin rights it should be allowed to connect to that server it would help with having people work for servers but i do understand that it could be abused by such allowing those such as friends have access permenantly.

Just a sugestion (if account has admins rights allow it to connect)

Stefan only upgraded the accounts that were in use. So, if the account was banned. It wasn't upgraded
