I would pay to have my own 4door rancher

I can give you a nice balanced scheme (IMO)

Special Vehicle - €5/$5
Custom House - €10/$10 (House up to 3m Value and in specific locations outside main cities)
Custom House - €20/$20 (House with any Value and in Specific Locations outside main cities)
Custom House - €30/$30 (House with any value and anywhere) + Free Special Vehicle
HQ For Group for 1 year - €50/$50 (Any already set building)

This is just a list I think would make sense

I have no problems with paid items, as long as such items can also be earned by playing a lot.

Also I don't think paid items should be in game cash, or be redeemed for in game cash. That would over inflate the economy to RS4 levels.

The only thing i'd (somewhat) consider to spend cash on would be to have an additional account.

Debating with idiots it's like trying to play chess with a pigeon - it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

Pretty much everything proposed comes down to 'pay to win' in Argonath terminology. ''Winning'' in Argonath would be having those things others don't have and can only be bought with real money. This is why I'm personally against any form of real life money being involved in Argonath.

You'll see after it becomes reality.

Custom mapping and objects sounds cool, would bring some diversity to the map I guess.

In just under a month, we would've been asking for donations for a decade, and yet not once has enough donations been received to cover the cost of essential expenses.
But what woud money help you with? Will it pay your taxes? Or you just want to get the money to get the forum on a better, more protected and secure and ad-free? Well, I think we should all donate 1€(the ones we actually have a debit/credit card), if you really want money for some servers in some games.

Just keep digging for your true purpose in life! That is, of course, what you deeply want and have dreamed of your entire life! Just, don't waste it on becoming a replica of someone... We are really UNIQUE how we are.

Server hosting is not cheap. Donations won't just go towards "paying taxes," check out club.argonathrpg.com for the financial statements.
Currently a lot of money comes out of the owners pockets to keep this place running, so donations would help subsidise the community, with enough donations potentially allowing the server to branch to more platforms, and keeping it running for a longer period of time.

The only area where it is pay 2 win is the group hq. Let me rephrase
You have to pay for the properties to be mapped. Their value  comes put of the PLAYERS pocket

 I'd pay for Argonath to remain one of the few servers without premium items for real cash. Don't wanna pull the vision card, but this is something that shouldn't even be considered.

Brilliant idea, maybe paying IRL for IG might deter kids playing here. Money isn't an issue I can easily paypal Gandalf but ofcourse I want something valuable on the other end.

IRL, I'm close with one homeless guy and always drop him off some change and in return he comes and lets me know when the ticket man is here so I don't get a parking fine. So yeah, I wouldn't mind giving IG money for something I get in return

Indeed, this is the most important requirement for any benefit a player would get from paying. Something like the below I would probably support:

- VIP/Donator package, gives a small badge on forum and panel + some extra small things or something
- Weekly access to "VIP sales" which would sell special wearable items (parrot for example)
- Extra /wear slots
- Custom title hovering under/above your name
- Small skill increase

You've already mapped out your plans. What's the point of this topic?
