This is an interesting idea and one we'd definitely consider. We'd just have to figure out the logistics of it and the technical aspect. DragnLord wrote: You know what! what about if you set up like a weekly donation. Cost is like $2-$5 a week or maybe $2,$3,$4 & $5 weekly and you get a weekly reward?? Like a subscription. But it should be something only weekly subscribers can get? This is also something we've talked about a fair bit. I've always liked the idea but I don't know if the community would also like the idea. This something I'd definitely be interested to hear from the community about.

But if it's something that could save us, we'd definitely consider it. I support ANY and ALL suggestions that would help save Addstar MC. We've only got 79% of our donation goal (as I'm typing this post) and it's the 27th (and there are 30 days this month!)!!! The lack of donations lately is just upsetting. If the server was forced to shut down, I would literally never stop crying. I KNOW that MANY other people would be upset if the server died. It is our HAPPY place, where we can build amazing (and family friendly) things, kill dragons together, blow stuff up together, and more, without having to worry about griefers or trolls! Without this server, where would we be? We would all end up on different servers, only talking to each other through Skype at the very best! Please help us save the server by donating as much as possible! SAVE THE PENGUINS!!! Posted Sep 27, 16 Like x 2 x 2 List Undo

It would be even better if part of the subscription was a random item from a pool of items you can only get from that subscription Or some sort of 'loot box' in game Posted Sep 27, 16 Like x 3 x 3 List Undo

I wonder if people would be interested in "Subscription Reward Keys"? Things that are only obtainable via subscription? (not sure what type of things but we would make them very unique and special.. possibly even commands/features/tools) Posted Sep 27, 16 · OP Love x 3 x 3 Like x 2 x 2 List Undo

Claerity Posts: 4 Votes: +2	Alrighty. I have a sugguestment. I play on more than one server. One of them has donation perks implemented, such as jetpacks. Also, /ec and /wb are part of it too. This last sugguestion only goes for ppl who ACTUALLY donate. They could get access to particles. So, for jetpacks, /ec and /wb those would be for EVERYONE once donation goals are met each month. These ideas may make ppl wanna vote, so they can get them! Thankyou, Claerity Posted Oct 2, 16 Like x 1 x 1 List Undo
SizzlingLoaf Posts: 1 Votes: 0	How about build your own host server instead of renting one? Use all of those donate money for buying extra hard drive.. Just a suggestion. Posted Oct 12, 16
MiniWorks18 Posts: 137 Votes: +320 Witch WITCH Admin	I like your thinking SizzlingLoaf But sadly it's not as simple as buying a new hard drive. We do own our physical computer hardware, though when we say 'hosting' we mean the people/company who we're paying to take care of our servers. The hosting company constantly monitor the powerful computers and provide the required internet connection for the multi-terabyte(broadband) usage. These two factors are simply not possible in your average house hold. It would be like having 50+ people all connected to your wifi trying to watch youtube. Hopefully I've answered your question. It's frustrating that we have a donation goal. It would be awesome if it was so little that we needn't have a progress bar. But what's life without a challenge?

That would mean a bill so big it would just be RIDICULOUS. This is why we need to have passwords on our WiFi! Posted Oct 13, 16 Like x 1 x 1 List Undo
add5tar Posts: 728 Votes: +1,254 Enderdragon ENDERDRAGO... Admin Awards: 1	SizzlingLoaf : Just to expand on what MiniWorks18 said.... in December last year we actually did migrate from renting a single server to running 4 of our own! This allowed us to really expand and have far greater capabilities, but the goal wasn't to reduce the costs, it was to give us more for our money. We even did a news post for it (and an awesome video!). This was during a time where we were easily hitting out donation goal each month and things were going great! We took a chance and locked into a 12 month contract, but unfortunately things didn't work out so well for us. The average number of players dropped and so did our monthly donations. But now that our contract will be coming to an end soon, we have been in talks with our hosting provider and it looks like we may soon be able to considerably reduce our monthly costs! We will update everyone with more info once we have something to share. Posted Oct 14, 16 · OP Like x 8 x 8 List Undo
