Hopefully we will see some of the less good playerworlds start paying this will help cover the costs related in operating graal and hopefully encourage playerworlds to improve Content, management, and ethics.

I think they might eventually but not many will right away

Yeah,

there are surely a handful of playerworlds right now that are falling behind in Content & Management. It's really sad that the PW's which names i'm not mentioning but they know who they are lack the requirements of a productive & fun playerworld.

I think if your staff don't want to pay $19/year (VIP) to be member of a community and have fun creating Online game, then ask them what other hobby they can do for this price, i will be interested to known... Probably not a lot ...

I'm the only one who currently keeps his account upgraded. (even though I dont play) Is there some way you can make it so my staff can access my staff to work. Kind of like how the old RC's worked but to keep it from being abused maybe make a limit of 3 RC's that could access a server with out being upgraded. This would allow my staff to continue working and feel they are given some form of incentive to do there job. They've also stated that they won't be upgrading just so they can work on a server. Which is why I was hoping you might consider the possibility of 3 Server access only otherwise I'm going to be up a creek with out a paddle and I cant have a server with no staff.

Not to put you off, but there a lot of things to do that don't cost money.
Besides, with the VIP account, they could only access the server on Saturdays, which limits them to about 52 days a year, and I can guaruntee you that they can't get on every one of those days.. Come to think of it, $26 Canadian, to play a game for 52 days tops is kind of expensive...

I think it is to the players who pay for Graal to decide what they want to see.

That's why i am thinking to implement a "sponsoring system" where each Gold/Vip Player will decide wish Player World they want to support (Vip can support 1 Player World, Gold can support 2, Gold&Vip 3)

If a Player World has at least 20 supporters (including staff), he will have free hosting for the next 6 months.

There will be a special forum to present its Player World.

That certainly sounds spiffy.
It'll certainly get the community more involved with the running of the game.

I am still interested to known what hobby you can do for $19/year .

The VIP can indeed only reach gold servers Week-end but have a complete access on Classic and will have a complete access on all Player Worlds

Yeah, I really want gold, but the Canadian dollar sucks too much. Cost $56 or something for gold. I wanna have Eros.

Well, I'm not going to get into that because it'd take a while, and because we probably have different definitions of hobby.

Lastly, I didn't know that. I guess getting VIP for a year isn't that bad of a deal after all.

It certainly has gotten better compared to when I signed up. $56 would be nice, instead of what I paid.

That sounds like a good idea if there is no way to abuse it...
