Thank you for the feedback so far. In regards to Gandalf's objection to the idea; I have had several discussions with him on the subject and he has taken some liking to the idea without an official stance change. There is no plans, or immediate plan to implement this. We're simply seeing how you guys feel about this. We won't do it if a majority of the community players aren't in support of it, which is as it appears now.

The thing is that it will be in conflict with the feeling of equality Argonath can offer to its players.
That's one of the great things of Argonath, ultimately you can do anything within your power in the community. If you add IRL money to the equation, a lot of players unwilling or unable to go that far in the game will no longer experience that feeling.

Not sure about in-game, but forum perks would be pretty awesome.

I don't disagree Sal it's just at the point we're at, there is little incentive for the current developers to stay (most of us are getting older and don't want to stay around to get bad girled at for every choice and cried at all the time). At least in my perspective. I'm not saying I am leaving because I'm not getting paid. I'm just saying bills don't pay themselves and I spent over 30 hours last week to bring those updates. There is no budget for marketing in order to promote using more large-scale advertisement platforms; something a lot of other servers with huge populous do. More importantly we cannot upgrade our servers in order to provide a better quality of service, we cannot expand our services into new areas.

Then, indeed micro-transactions could be a small but maybe a good way to get an income for argonath.

We can have a test period maybe to see if the playerbase grows, better activity etc?
Why not test, if it doesnt work, we've tested it and we maybe know why it doesnt work out, if we don't test it, we never know if it could work.

How about custom joinmessages? Like [WS]Emmett(69) has joined from yer mum :>

Damn, this sounds like a nail to the coffin. I think the cult of spoiled teenagers is big enough in real life, we don't need this in a virtual game as well.

Say that the results are negative... will you remove the VIP perks from the people who paid for it?
