chewy2002 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I would like to formally request that you add a subscription option. This option would provide no perks to us whatsoever other than maybe a forum badge would be nice. This is also blizzlike in every way, and I would gladly pay for this service to support your awesome team but I am unable to pay a whole month of server fees.. I'm not made of money. I would suggest 3 monthly donation options, giving a gold, silver or bronze badge respectively. 10$USD, 5$USD and 1$USD. Maybe also a Platinum badge for paying full retail price of 14.99$USD. This would greatly offset server costs and allow for you guys to dedicate more time to maintaining and advancing. Hopefully allowing serious TBC development as well. If you wanted to stick to the whole non-profit thing you could, just auto cancel all donations once you reach a nice cushion of months/weeks paid up on all realms and then advertise when you need more money, allowing those that can to restart their subs. I can personally promise at least 10$ a month from me, and depending on improvements made, maybe the 15$.

Shayss 43 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 You can do that through donations. Noone gets anything out of this but the fun. They will not allow any form of pay to get "x y and z". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chewy2002 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 Did you even read my post? The only thing I mentioned was a forum badge, which I personally don't care about. Was just an idea to maybe get people to sign up for a sub that would have not the slightest in-game benefit. I personally just want a sub option, something I can just "set and forget". As you can see from the shear volume of my posts I'm not active in the forums anyway, though I have been playing here for a while. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apophis 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2017 As soon as they take anything but donations (like subs) for their servers they give Blizzard legitimate a reason to pursue them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're misunderstanding that OP is suggesting recurring donations as an option not a key to access. Paypal offers a way to convert a donation button into a recurring donation button. I don't remember what forms of donation this project accepts, but it was just an example. However I feel that even the forum badges are an incentive. The monthly donation option should award absolutely nothing. It would keep things pure. Companies or groups of hosts are all human. A forum badge becomes a new forum name color. That becomes a custom tabard, becomes an old style mount. Becomes corrupt. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A monthly donation option to set and forget would be nice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
