id rather pay £2-6 per month than have donations,
because:
-its fair
-no1 gains the advantage
-no1 can moan
-shows its more professional
etc etc, not rly a downfall other than... its a private server, and private servers *should* be free
id only ever p2p for a server that had..
-custom files
-very good balance
-looked like it would stay up for look
-good stability
-loads of things to do ingame, new areas/mobs etc etc
-loads of new things coded
etc etc
Wheres the option to not pay at all?
MONEY MONEY MONEY! MONEY!
well thats the point tryin 2 be made atm, no server is gonna be run for free, outta the developers pocket, simple reasons being
-Why should u?
-Why should u put up with all that grief GMs get when ur gainin nothing, just losin liek £150 a month on dedi/ftp etc costs?
end of the day, money pays for better Dedi PCs, better FTPs, better websites, better forums, better everything
id never run a server and put up with all taht grief and shed out £150 a month, thats just insane, i enjoy playin with files etc ye, so id just keep it as offline.
bein a server host, u know how much grief u get, how much work u put in
every1 knows nothing in life is free.
