Paying for Playerworld/Server space

Spark910 · #1 06-07-2003, 01:15 PM

I think it would be useful to know the following from players:

What PW projects are occurring right now?
Who may buy server space to host a playerworld?

If you are a manager of a PW give us some details. And just let us know if you wish to buy server space. It would help us know how many people will be buying and how many servers we will have to check up on.

I might buy one.. it's probably a yes.

Screens:

Note: Ignore the character on screen4.png and screen3.png, we are remaking it.

Made some new carpets, i will make a new bed later on..
Edit: The shelfs are looking the same, well.. they are randomized, i will add more ganis to it so it will look really randomized, now its 5 ganis, and its a good chance of getting the same, i will add like 15 more

Good Job man....I think you should redo the gui though. Put it in a top corner all together like 2k2 so it's organized and everything is right where you can click easy

Here is mine I just started it like you will see in the small map pic I made. It isn't showing the whole map just the section I started on. Most likely this will never go up even though I am going to do all the levels b/c I won't want it up unless there is a new tileset for it.

A slight reminder of this thread:

I wish to know who may/will buy/rent server space for a PW.

Hartland might get one. We'll probably finish the srever once it goes online, because right now it's hard to communicate with each other, and send each other updates -.-'

God I hope I'll get that stupid job at Chapters, I already have my resume Done, I'll go hand it to them withing next week.

Once I finsh my tileset I may want to buy server space. It depends what the deal is, how much it will cost, and how easily it would be to not have to pay. From players donating money or the "coin system."

I might consider it once i find out how much it costs

I think the success of buying playerworlds is going to completely based on price.

zrpgp2p · #11 06-08-2003, 12:49 AM

Yes spark, I will be buying space. And no, it's not going to be zrpg this time lol.

I would put it under construction for a while though, so i can test alot of scripts.

I don't think its right for us to pay for OTHER players to play on a playerworld thats just retarted... When people buy a playerworld all they are doing is buying power. I wouldnt buy one.

Azrael528 · #13 06-08-2003, 02:44 AM

when will we be allowed to buy playerworld space, im liking the idea more and more

You can look at it like that if you wish. Do keep in mind that its not cheap either which means that most of the playerworlds won't afford it and will be forced to change thier content a bit

I don't 100% agree with charging for PW space, but I think its necessary. If people actually have to pay for something they are more likely to take care of it than if its given to them. They'll also probably push themselves harder to attract more players since, as I understand, that will also have an effect on the cost of things.

Pros: It gives you as much time as you want to work on your server (especially if it is UC), and it also dosent put time limits on people. So you dont have to rush anything to keep your server up.

Cons: It creates useless servers run by a bunch of no'obs. It also will create a huge serverlist.
