2. Does the player have to donate money or whatever to help pay for the server if they like it or is that just optional?

1.) Yes to ones that are up. They passed ones may get up before this is introduced and so no wont have to pay striaght away, but will have to.

2.) Im sure you could donate some money towards it. Anyway Nem said there will be goals and things to reduce the price, maybe if you reach them all you wont have to pay at all.

Not all will pay some as Nem put it will be "Free Servers" and "some will be pay" , even the ones online now. Not all the details are availible yet so we will have to wait and see what the rest of the details are.

I know from past experience, it's kind've hard to get help from one of the Global Admins -- when theres a problem with the server or something. But if your a paying costumer, would you get any advantages? Like extra support or whatever... O_o.

well this is disapointing...
ive managed enigma for almost 3 years now but when this comes out i wont pay for it so i guess itll be shut down

im glad that i at least have my own game to fall back on to overcome boredom...

sorry for posting twice but....

i dont think this will work (at least work to improve pw quality) hell itll deplete quality

any rich mofo can get a pw....

if we cant get good pw's up when they are FREE, making them cost money will only make the odds of having a good one up lower and lower we will have 300 frolics and 421 bravos and 126 Shaded Legends (i lub you archangel) but hey.. what do i know... ive only been here for 3+ years...

He probably started a new post and couldnt be bothered to copy it, go back, press edit, paste it and resend.

Also:

It wont be the rich people who get PWs as an income of up to $120 a year (taking that the MAX is $10/month) is not richness.

Hmm, I want to make a playerworld, and I have a friend who doesn't have a graal account who would be interested too. I don't think he's going to get an account anytime soon - so is there any way for him to play/go/work on my server? As RC? Any way at all? Well, except for getting an account...

I hope that happens, then Graal will make alot of money and improve the quality ;-)

ETD · #57 03-23-2003, 08:15 PM

I dunno about this increasing PW quality... but one GOOD thing i see from this, is that i think it will motivate people to do ORIGIONAL things...

maybe pay for a few months, and test a new concept.... if people can play the test server, and like the new idea, they can expand it into a full server...

which would stop all these new servers from looking alike

they can improve the quality of the game all they want but if the players dont improve the quality of the stuff they make whats the point?

they can have a professional quality game but if the players are still in java quality designs, whats the point

Its obvious that it has remained as such for quite some time. The only way to improve is to force it. Yeah, you'll turn players away but in the long run you'll probably draw in more than half of what leaves. Heck I think Graal going p2p has brought in more players than what it had before. That is one method of forcing things to progress onward. Obviously the other way to force positive progression is to put in place tougher standards and adhere to them without faltering (much :]).

Im going to buy a server and get people to submit their PW to me and I'll review them and if they're good I'll put it on my server and they'll be co-owner
