Stefan, and idea!

How about since we have so many PWs and a lot of people just stay on one. Maybe you should let players upgrade to specific servers. And when they do the PW Owner gets like half of the money or something and you get the rest. Making a PW is hard and owners should get something in return when they get real loyal players

Well considering that there are 16 playerworld normally visible which are non-gold right now, and a permanent upgrade costs 15 Euro, a fair price for one those account upgrades would be 0.9375 Euro, half of those profits would go to the owner of the playerworld upgraded for (0.46875 euro that is), thus making the whole business wholly unprofitable, especially since they'd need to expand their database for holding information for which accounts have been upgraded for which playerworlds.

Plus you make a playerworld out of your own free will, you volunteer, you don't have to do it. Thus you don't make any money out of it either.

No one makes you make a player world.
You make it out of your own free will therefore shouldn't recieve any money for it.

Then everyone wants to start a PW, spend hours upon hours laboring, and then wait for the money to reel in. I can see i now, owners are like "upgradefor my server it roxor!" and they check the mail next week and find a cheque from Graal for $0.85

I completely agree with this... However, the only thing I think playerworld managers should get is access to these forums, so after their gold subscription runs out they can still post here about managing their playerworld, etc.
