Second Phase of Player World Beta testing

[unixmad]

I had some company administrative work, so I am late, sorry..

I will validate Player World projects friday, Player World owners will receive a Email about it.

The player World owner will have access to administrative function on the graal.net site:

Admin | User Permissions | Edit Public Info | Player World History | VHOSTs | Edit/Release Files | Post Jobs | Edit Jobs | Edit Multimedia Data | Stats | Billing

I don't have time to explain everything, so explore and ask me questions if you have.

I will only explain the more important sections:

A) Billing system
-----------------

Important! : Follow this billing instruction only if this is a new Player World, already open Player World owners will receive instructions by Email by Friday.

You will need to use the billing section to activate Gserver/Npcserver :

1) Create a Billing account, this account is personal and can be used to pay for more than 1 player World

2) Choose the “Hosting Plan” , you can choose between 6 Months for $59 and 12 Months for $99 (more plans coming later)

3) Review your Shopping Card, then go on final confirmation

4) Push the Secure 3rd Party Payment and pay by Paypal, it is very important to not fail on the payment or you will be really stuck ! I will try to correct this later.

5) If everything is ok you will come back on the “My account” section of the billing, and you will see your Order history with something like : Order No. 1 -> complete -> $59

6) You will receive a Email with all instruction on what to do to start your Player World Gserver/Npcserver and connect to the remote control.

7) When you have the Login/Password, connect to the URL you have receive, for example : http://playerworld1.graal.net:4431 (be careful that the port number is important) , you will then have to identify you with the login/password you have receive on the Email.

8) You will then be connected to the monitoring of your PlayerWorld Gserver/Npcserver, it is a server process that show if Gserver/Npcserver is started or stopped; if stopped you can click on Gserver and then Start button, do the same for Npcserver. When you will have pushed the Start button, your Npcserver/Gserver will be restarted automatically if there is a problem (This is something actual PlayerWorld will appreciate)

9) When you have started Gserver/Npcserver you will be able to connect using the Server Remote Control, if you have not downloaded it, launch Graal setup and selection Remote Control on the option screen. Each PlayerWorld have a Master account with all rights, so don’t give this account to anyone.

B)Affiliation
-------------

When you will have created your Billing account, you will see a Affiliate section, when pushed it will automatically open a Affiliate Graal account.

You will then have 2 Options (Don’t worry you can change that later)

1) Type: Credit My account

When selected this option you will receive 20% credit on your billing account when someone do a order.

2) Type: Paypal

When selected this option you will receive 10% Real Money when someone do a order, the payment will be made directly on your Paypal account.

To receive a % on a order, you will have to be the referrer, it mean you are the one that have made this player subscribe to Graal, how do this work ?

When on the affiliation section you will see a URL like: http://www.graalonline.com/?aid=11 , the important part of the URL is your affiliation ID (?aid=11) , you don’t need to give to your players the root of the Web site but you can also give other section, like the new account section:

http://www.graalonline.com/accounts/signup.php?aid=11

The Player will then be tagged with your affiliation ID and you will always receive a % on the order made by this Player even if he don’t put ?aid=xx .

All this is still experimental so please report bugs as soon as possible.
