Servers & Profits

[LoneAngelIbesu]

I really think Unixmad should be making a deal with servers that utilize the Gelat shop. Zodiac doesn't have to be doing it.

I agree. I know Stefan said something on Era iPhone about staff possibly getting a percentage of the cash-shop profits. He was the one who brought it up, too.

He offered me a percentage of it in Gralats when I initially brought it up adding the items, but those are pretty much useless to me.

He wouldn't pay people real money, gelats should be fine for you, you can figure a way to trade them or use them in the future, not like they disappear.
It's not like hes gonna bother sending checks to foreign countrys or paypal-ing everyone individually. If I was a developer I'd be happy to just receive the gelats. Many people like to develop for free, anyways. its fun. plus gelats would be a lot easier to split up between the staff.

I too agree with that. Initially developers solely chose to get servers not to make money, but to attempt to create a successful server for not just them, but other players to enjoy as well.

Not every developer likes to live with limitations and an unprofessional team

Yes, I agree. Developers need greater incentive for using the gelat shop for it to become successful. If developers could even make 10%-15% of the money from the sales of gelats on their server, it could give them ample amounts more incentive to develop more things for the said gelat shop. Thus, consequently, Graal would be making more money and more content by sharing profits with developers than they would otherwise.


The only issue with this is that there cannot be script functions for adding/removing gelats for obvious reasons which means you would have to work with Stefan on the shop.
