Benefits for Donation/Payment (SA:MP Discussion)

[ClazzyJogel]

Hi fellow argonathians,

I want to clear up a few things and tell you why you we should add a system, where you can pay for ingame money, and why it wont ruining your Argonath RPG experience.

Money isn't what determines your rank or status in Argonath RPG SA:MP. If you are a player who wants to get rich fast, then you can do so. This will NOT make you a better player. You can purchases homes, cars, and so forth, but it will not in any way make you elite, so why not add an option where people can donate money and recieve IG cash? This will be a win - win for both the community and the players.
 
The community will gain better servers, less lag, and more money in their pockets. The community leaders can pay for better managers, and better webmasters. The players paying for the IG money, will be more active, leading to a succesfull server.

As far as I have researched, there havent been much money donated for Argonath RPG so far, and that could be the result of the recent server shut down etc. So in the love of the community, I feel this is neccesary.


Sincerly,

AnthraX

Paying for in game money? WTF you are crazy ppl. This have to stop!

[ClazzyJogel]

Here is a list what I find both reasonable and justified, according to balancing the economy.

100 000$ - 5$
500 000$ - 10$
1 000 000$ - 15$

Of course, this can be discussed..

[Petarda]

pay2win yes right, are you serious?

[Shorty.]

Dude it is a game , why would people do something like that ?

[MIA]

Let me give example, some newbie will give 1000$ IRL money just to be rich. Then he will go to casino, gamble with it and he will lost IRL money, just sayin' so.

EDIT: Also that grandpa on avatar is ugly.

The argonath vision clearly states that argonath does not sell IG advantages.

Plus, have you seen the RS4 economy? It is messed up. That is why in RS5 there is a fixed amount of money on the server. Randomly injecting millions will literally destroy the RS5 economy harder than it's RS4 counterpart.

As Philip said, paying to gain in-game advantage will most likely never happen.

[TheRock]

I would gladly donate if there were more donation options but not to benefit my self ingame, but the community..
We do not need money exchange things such as that, pay for benefit. Nope.

Well in our community I find it neccesary.
I think it will overweight the fact that the servers has been so unstable, and that Argonath RPG cannot afford good enough servers. I'd rather experience people with lots of money, then servers unable to play in, and tons of moaning.

As stated, it is a win-win for everyone, and the biggest communities are experience success due to the fact that it lets their users choose to donate for benefits. And I must remind, this is a game, it is viritual money so if people want to pay for that, I see no problem.

As always, its in the love of the community.

Quick answer - No.

We do not and will not ever support the trading of real life money for in-game advantages such as money or items.
The server is there for people to have fun and earn their keep, not to simply "buy" their things with real life cash.


There is nothing wrong with Argonaths hosting company nor the servers it is being hosted on so I have no idea where you came up with that from.

[Marcel]

No. This is fully against the Argonath Vision and will never be done. It is against the core principles our community was founded on.

What are you talking about? Servers are perfectly fine...

What the hell are you talking about?
The current servers are rock solid, the only instability we had was due to DDOS attacks, which is why we moved to a protected server.

Since we started on this IP, the box has been running for 3 months without a single restart, if you wish to call that instable be my guest.
Similar the web server is only restarting for maintenance and has been fullly available.

On the current server script lag has mostly been non-existent.
I have no idea who is spreading these lies, and find it even more amusing people are believing it and making suggestions while they seem not to be able to know reality.

We ban anyone who is selling in-game money or benefits and that will remain.

Well same applies for the US government, it was based out of the constitution.
There has been 27 changes since its initial.
