Now that you've explained it a little more its slightly easier to make a better arguement lol
However, my problem with paying a monthly fee for a stolen product still remains, but i would be able to live with something such as an item shop in game and not items that give an unfair advantage (Similar to donating, but not the same thing)
These items should be similar or basically the same like other grind MMOs.
Items such as Level/Skill EXP Boost Potions (30 mins, 60 mins, 90 mins etc) or purchase of a horse (30 Days Dur, 60 Days Dur, Infinite Dur) or purchase of a costume (30 Days, 60 Days, Infinite)
You know the sort of items i mean, even a life time pet can be a purchasable item (such as a Slave)
Those are the sort of items i could live with, the price i couldn't care less about lol.
But when it comes to donating for items such as extra 30 DC Weapons or extra 20 AC armours, it gets rediculous and unfair
So in conclusion, P2P monthly and donations i wouldn't play the server, but an item shop with reasonable items on sale (like i mentioned above) i would play

thing is these items u can buy, like stat boosts/pets / teleport saving location etc etc... would these be something u can only obtain via payin... or dropin aswell?
i was gonna say if only via payin ... its unfair... but then agian, im sure there would be ppl that would pay for these items then sell them for gold... so they'll get circulated around
the p2p option would only rly be something if it was all done properly, i belive laptop from mirrevenge is now doin that? hes paid some proper company to code him new files from scratch, copy writen the game, trade marked legend of mir in the UK, guessin he will be payin VAT on p2p etc... but with the lies he tells u never know, either way thats the kinda thing i meant... altho id never pay for his server as its a pile of basic ****, no offense there but very little effort is in that server imo.
american game zero online i played is free but u pay for zero points which u use at zero mall for ****... ZPs are only availble via events + payin for them... however after a few months ZPs have circulated around the community and quite easy 2 sell **** for zps, supose be something like that

The ingot system works well, but its still down to the server owner what they add and the price for it..
If you tie the system up with crap stuff that no one will buy... you could of just done it on gamegold (free) and let player work for it and fill with top items they really want, like i have done
at the end of the day it does not matter what system is used its down to the owner
i like bons idears and i see were hes coming from

Well i'm not sure if you've heard of the game Cabal?
But they have Level/Skill Boost potions that aren't droppable, only purchasable via the item shop. But they also have items such as a Bike or a Board to move around faster, which are in the drop files but incredibly rare, and when bought via the item shop they only last 30-90 days, for a permanent one, you have to find it
So for LoM, you could put items such as a Para ring which will only last for 30 days, to get it permanently you would have to find it from the drops. But thats if this was ever coded into the game lol

just make 2 types of para
ParaRing - In drop files.. repairable
ParaRing(D) - Obtainable by donations.. not repairable.
By doing this idea you could do anything.. and is actually preety decent.

Also if you did the (D) items idea you could also work GameGold into it.
When you buy the Para it comes with 20GameGold.
It costs 10Gamegold to repair the para back to full duration.
Then you could sell Gamegold, and it'd actually be useful to buy!
ZOMG COPYWRIGHT IDEAR! :tongue1:
OO i like.. then make a npc allow you to convert GG into GGscrolls.. so u can sell it :P making a whole new buisness!!! lol.
Oh so u can trade it onto another char also.

DONE MATE.
12p for you. 12p for me. I sold idea to Ben.
He said 24p good deal, i said sure.
OMG, how'd you guess? Do you have a full 100% brain?
Since im now paying for a dedi, i have to say - donations are probably more needed than what they previously were. You know, when it was enough to run a server off your home PC. Nowadays most 'decent' servers use a dedicated server to ensure no lag and smooth gameplay.
Extreme donations, or buying the best items ingame - i would say no to.
But a somewhat balanced/thoughtout donation system - yes.
omg I got bored of reading after two page's, I would never p2p for a private server and I mean NEVER, purely because it's the server creatiors choice to have the server running, its their choice to pay stupid amounts of money for a dedi website etc...
If you knew full well there would be cost's to running the server then you should NOT do it, doing it for fun is the way it use to be long time ago fair enoth they didn't last but hell they was alot more fun than whats out now.
Mir server's these days = CRAP hense why I dont play mir2. If I ever wanted to I would go play euro but the chance's of that are very very slim.
