Setting up a PayPal donation link is very easy to do , I already have one such link on the Npulse site.

Paid servers with nothing for the public should certainly be legal. It'd give more scripters the ability to do serverside work without having to become a NAT member somewhere with all the duties thereof.

I think the "modular" cost idea where you can pick options instead of a set package is a good idea.

I'd want 100-500mb space (dunno how much i'd need) with RC and an NPC server... that's all i'd need really. Ideally i'd pay $10 a month, but i'd go $15 (USD)... Higher than that and it's not really worth it, also adding things like a website will not make me want to pay extra if it's part of a more expensive "package" (as in "you'd have to pay a little bit more for this package but look at all the cool things you get!"... that wouldn't work very well.)

It would be nice to know how much space is used up for each PW. So they would have an idea of the cost. Unix can you post basic costs, when you decide some prices, for all the PWs currently online, so they would know what they have to pay should they want to keep what they have when payment comes in.

I agree with you its easy to setup a PayPal donation link , but
you need a credit card to do that and i dont want people to giving
there donation to my moms card and i would think alot of other people dont want there parents getting there donation .

I probably get my own credit card soon anyway , ( I hope )

It doesn't go the the Card , it goes to your PayPal account . It has nothing to do with your Credit Card. I have a Business PayPal account with a PayPal debit card that works off my PayPal account, the PayPal account works like a checking account with the debit Card. The limits are what is in your PayPal account. I have had a PayPal account longer than I have played Graal (over 3 years) so I have some knowedge of how PayPal works if someone needs to know something I would be glad to help them.

There is one big problem about this new system that will be introduced , Its not going to get new players and its going to lose some players. Graal is not giving Trial players a good enough changes to get into the Game. What i think graal should introduce is a "free for all week" or "free for all weekend". What is this you ask? LoL:-) . Well , my idea is to give each Player worlds a few days a year where they can open there servers to all types of players (E.g New Trial members). This would be a great opportunities of getting new trial members to sign "pay to pay" and a great way of getting graal and your Player world knowed to the world (Mahahaha ,{ Smurfs ,evil laugh } Furst we take graal , then we take the World, Mahahaha ). Anyway back to the subject thats at hand.
I would advice everyone thats want to keep or get a Player Hosting server upgrade to Vip becouse the way things are heading , Vip`s might be the only ones allowed to apply for hosting sense they will get all scripts update and other tools and other crap.

Anyway i have a big question to ask you all , Should i try and persuade my friends to help me translate Graal into Chinese?
LoL:-) By "Graal" i mean my player world project LoL:-)
If he agrees , Graal could gane alot more p2p players ,heheheheheh

Sweet , Could you please tell me more about the "PayPal debit card"?
Can anyone sign up? and is it easy to setup?

If you have a PayPal account already all you have to do is request one, when you log on just look for the info on it ,(should be to your left of the screen). I will add to this post as soon as I log on PayPal and I will copy and paste the info about it.

How do I get the PayPal ATM/Debit Card?

The PayPal ATM/Debit Card is available to users who:
1.Have been a PayPal member for at least 60 days
2.Have a U.S. PayPal account
3.Have registered a credit card where the monthly statement is sent to a physical street address (not a P.O. Box)
4.Are Verified (have added and confirmed a bank account)
5.Have upgraded to a Premier or Business account
6.Are an active PayPal member in good standing, as determined by our Account Review Department
If you meet the above requirements, click the ATM/Debit Card link in the footer of any PayPal page to request your card.

If it shows 2x you have the ablity of cancelling one of them. I haven't had that problem but it sounds like you refreshed a pending charge when it was processing and it will do it 2x if you do, thats why most places tell you to only hit the submit button one time. If you have a dispute or a duplicate charge either cancel one or contact support about the problem and do what they tell you to do. You could also contact the vender and explain it , it should show you paid 2x , most will either refund you the money (if the transaction is already completed) or if it is pending cancel one of them.

This could make or break my playerworld. I have NO money to spend monthly.

I'm definitely not going to pay money just to have what I have right now. My playerworld will never be completed if I have to pay money to work.

I sure hope they continue to allow private Under Construction pw's for free, because it's stupid to think I'm going to get anyone upgrading their account to play my playerworld that doesn't even completely exist yet.

I'm sure once the playerworld is online, I'll pay whatever, and I'll have people upgrading so I can maybe earn profit. But this will never happen if I'm forced to pay just so I can have an npc server while developing my playerworld.

Anyway, this whole plan sounds kinda good, but then again, it needs to be described better, and of course, have prices, so that it's a lot easier to understand. Because right now, I can't make heads or tails of it.
