Should P2P playerworld owners be.. paid?

[Griffyn]

ha ha...greed, its spreading

[Sir_Gareth]

NO

Because another staff memebr other than the ownee could do all the work and the ownerr could sit on there @$$ all day and rake in the dough.

[MrSmiles]

Only pay to player servers as they are the ones people are paying for... and seeing as though all of the p2p servers currently up are absolute crap, they would get like 1 cent per month. But sure when my server comes up hopefully I will get a better turn out of players.

It will only make people greedy and not
doing any free scripting or so when they
get no money and stuff, that's not really
the way it can work. See the thousands of
people who do levels and scripts for
halflife stuff, doing professional work and
still get no money.

We're doing the work for you Stefan.
All of us could get together and prob
program our own Game and each get
a little share of monies.

maybe you could pay them like 10$ to get paid for your pw like cafepress guy

Graal just needs to be re coded , period.

[_0AfTeRsHoCk0_]

Graal would truly change with this system. For one, I think we would have to have two kinds of inspectors. One is the free server inspectors and the second would be the p2p inspectors. The p2p inspectors would have to be hard as hell, they need to criticize every single possible detail. Otherwise you will just have 500 people wanting to make p2p playerworlds so they can get real money.

Secondly is how much Cyberjoueur is willing to pay the people. I don't think many people would make a p2p playerworld for about $10 a month, it's quite time consuming. Yet again, it would depend on average server statistics as well as how much Cyberjoueur can pay the p2p owners...

And finally, we need to develop the exsisting p2p playerworld to the fullest extent possible, right now they are idle and useless

Yeah that sounds like a good idea also.

Yes this came to mind because I'm making a playerworld.. I enjoy making it, and I would love to get it up and have people enjoy playing it, but at the same time, I am devoting so much of my time to this project, and I would assume it will make more money for their company.. I would only think it fair if they think it's great enough to put online in their game, then it's good enough for them to share the wealth.

This statement has angered me. Devoted so much time?? You have said you starte dworking on it a damn week ago! Holy crap that pisses me off that you say this...

I agree though, and if you sticl with the PW it will become a great ammount of time. I am just praying you won't try to get it online before its near ready...

Deathchill, the reason you haven't seen people upgrade accounts for a certain PW is because there is yet to be a good one.

LOL
What a stupid, far fetched, communistic idea! Graal does not make enough money to pay the STAFF, how could they afford to pay the people they are hosting? In the real world you PAY to be hosted! The free hosts usually put banners all over your work to get money out of the hosting, which is what the account fee is. $20 for a year is not that much money to play this game. This idea is so ignorant and impractical, it could never work.

If you wanted to make money off of your playerworld I suppose you could make an in-game banner rotator to one of those pay-per-view advertisement sites, as long as showing images from different servers still works...

[BlKnight]

Ever think if they had very high quality things, they could raise the price? As more high quality servers appears, the current ones get better. As the quality of graal gets higher, the cost probably would to, and if graal is good enough that won't matter.

Or we can have people like contego, and I'm sure you will be next, that make up the STUPIDEST F-ING rules for everyone to follow such as having to go through THEM to get staff fired on your server.

I don't see how some guy like you is supposed to tell me how I am to run my playerworld. You're the laziest most self-centered person I have come to know on here.. and yes, I know you kissed some major a** to get your positions.. it's obvious from the lack of any work you did on 2k1 yet someone you manage to climb up the ladder with NOTHING to show.

Hey smart guy I was chosen for AM because of GP work..Nothing to do with 2k1. Also why would I make rules?I am no GM!

Yes I'm the laziest and mose self-centered person sure I'm sorry I don't take the time to ignore every PM I get because I'm "busy" I am multi-talented and answering PM's is not a challenge no it isn't.
Kissing a**?Who'd I kiss a** to move up like that?We've had 3 GP Chief's since I became GP and guess what?ALL of them thought I did a damn good job so maybe it's time for you to bequiet.

[Torankusu]

kyle, get on 2001.

[Oladahn]

what about setting it up like lame ass AOL? User referals and all that. Like you advertise to a friend and they sign up as a new user they give your name as a reference and you make a % of the dough. could be a better way to get more peeps around. But personally I doubt graalians will try any harder to make better PW's no matter what you do. BUT, i do think that payment like this will get some of the lazy oldbies with a lot of talent that are too greedy to build for free to start working, hence better PW's.

If I was picked for Global Admin I would turn it down.

Don't assume things about me because it seems you don't know much about me to make such assumptions. I quit 2k1 staff, I was admin there, you don't see me wanting global admin because it's a stupid position, ever since contego started making the stupid rules I made up my mind that it was a stupid position. Contego is a really good friend of mine back when we played on classic together, but I mean, the power of being "global" goes right to the top of your head.

Turn it down my ass, I've heard of what you asked for. Global RC and all that. And I know enough about you to dish the dirt, you're 18 years year old with no job and obviously can't get a job so you're expecting to be paid from graal. Pretty pathetic, owning a PW would be really cool, because you get to be an admin and hire people and manage your own little world. Being paid is the most stupidest thing I've heard of in a long time, it would just be harder on the PW Inspectors as well because you'd have people sending in PWs left right and center.

[TrueHeaT]

no, absolutely not.
