Good Afternoon Fellow Opticraftians,
Titles, Titles, Titles!!! Everyone Loves them, they are a show of recognition and accomplishment. When a member achieves the status of Top Voter it shows and they have a certain elevated status and sense of pride that reflects among the community on the server. (Feels Good Bro!) Now lets examine the donation system in place on this server; it allows for players to enhance their experience and enjoyment by supporting both the server and the community, yet there is no similar recognition for this critical role the donor's play on the server. The Importance of donation is equal if not greater than voting and I feel it should be recognized properly by the community and server as a whole. So in stating this; I request on behalf of myself and fellow donor's that a Top Donators Title be implemented in order give tribute to all the players who spare some coin for the greater good <3. Let's all work together to build a better world and recognize those who shine just a lil bit brighter than the rest = ).
Please, Leave your comments & approval below. When the Community speaks the leaders listen; raise your voice for change. The louder we get the greater the effect <3
<3 MimesisX & Aveilon

^_^ *likes* good idea :D
-
I dont recognize the idea here.
THe server has already decided to give prices of $$ to the first three.
Moreover, you get a title "Top Voter" for a month that later gets removed.
What else should the server do?
-
He's referring to the top donators, inheriting the [Top Donator] rank. Therefore wanting be more recognized as a donator to the Opticraft community. :)
-
This could quite possibly have some possibility of bringing in some more renevue. If yu think abut it, people are going to want that title because it represents that they legitimately care about the server and that they want to support it. So, idea supported by me!
-
I fully support it.
And sorry for not understanding the post. I misread it before.
-
Now this seems like a good idea! Although I'd first like for them to add multi-homes to donations first.
-
Ive seen many servers with and [Donater] or [Vip] type rank maybe for donaters the could get a [D] to show that they have donated.
And if you have the title donation i guess you could do this but not evertyone donates for the title package.
-
Hmm. This is confusing, having this [Top Donator] rank isn't really necassary, it has no benefits to it, it just makes you more recognizeable as a major support to the server. But if this was setup how top voter is very month, there would be no point to it, unless they donate again to the amount that is needed to earn that rank. Unless it was a permanent rank, then it would be no problem.
-
Umm good.. Maybe good.. :)
-
It's a good idea if it's a permanent rank in my opinion.
-
Here is the problem. It cant be a permanent rank because someone can always donate more than you making you not a top donor. But if you give it to everyone who donated that would be way to many people.
You also have to take into account that you get more in return when you donate than if you vote. When you donate, it is almost always for something you want in return.
-
I was on a server once where there wasn't a [Top Donator] title, but if you DID donate that month you would get a [Donator] title for THAT MONTH. It was an automatic thing and went away at the end of the month. Still kinda cool, but with the advent of being able to set your own title it's kinda mute. Just donate to get a custom title and change it to "Donator" if you want.
-

Or it can simply be a rank that the highest donor gets it.
-
Guys? We can make it with a colour in the name.
It can be Purple or light yellow.
So all the donators will get their special characteristic and the option of "title" which is already a donation will not make confusion.
What you think?
-

That is my point, it would constantly be changing.

Which would make it competitive bringing in more money for the server. or it could be like the votes and be monthly and there will be a list show the top 5 donators each month and only the top one gets the "rank" so we would have [top voter] and [top donator].

What you jsut said is almost off-topic. The point is for a reliable and prestigious rank. Not just a title.

nice

Hardly... We're talking about donating to get something special in front of your name. You can already do that. With one donation I could change my title to whatever I want. Why would I want to donate a ton of money to get a "special title" that nobody really cares about, and will vanish after a month? There are better reasons to donate.
I agree that the Top Voter rank is special, because you have to make an effort to earn it and ANYONE on the server is capable of earning it. Top Donator? That's just the person who's willing to max out their credit card on a computer game. It's also pretty unfair to those who aren't of age for a credit card or are just incapable of donating. Trust me, I was on a server where there was a [Donator] rank and everyone who donated got capes. There was more whining in the chat window about not being able to donate than there were actual conversations.
...and before you argue. Yes, income for the server is always a good thing, but I think there are better ways it can be accomplished. New donation items, such as the multi-home project that's being worked on, as an example.
That is, if donations (or a lack there-of) is even an issue at the moment...

The Rank would not be pointless, I would distinguish you as a top contributor to the server. Something is worth what people will pay for it and in terms of a Top Donor Title, I believe the prices will be fairly high. The overwhelming support for the idea proves that the title in its own right holds merit among the community and is a viable and sustainable idea. Also in order to make the Title more prestigious special permission's could be allowed that wouldn't impact server playability (I.E. Enabling Fly for the Top Donor.) People will always seek out a way to be unique and set themselves apart from the rest, this is just one more way to achieve just that.
It would not Constantly Changing hands because it takes money and money isn't infinite; It would settle out fairly quickly and stabilize between a few Top Donors. Also In order to mitigate only having a top Donor title you could install a whole ranking system based on how much has been donated. These numbers could be adjusted base on how quickly the server population achieves each rank.
The Ranking Could Work as Follows:
Prime Donor - #1 Contributor
Than Each Level Below that could have thresholds.
Diamond Donor - $ 200
Gold Donor - $130
Iron Donor - $60
Coal Donor - $30

I don't think you realize how the donation system works on this server. You donate to get things like;
- Money in the game
- A "Hat" option
- Customizable Titles
- Mob disguises
- etc.
Those ARE your rewards for contributing to the server.
Sure, I'll agree that there might be a lot of support for this, but there's also a lot of support for giving Lava buckets and Creative Mode to regular players, which will never happen.
To implement this idea (which most people probably don't realize) you would have to completely revamp the way donations are handled on this server, making it a simple monetary donation instead of purchasing extras, and I think a lot of people who paid to have their extras (like myself) would be strongly opposed to that happening. If you want to donate every month then go buy yourself something, and if you're so concerned about having "TDonator" in front of your name make it the Title option for $20 and just do it.
I'm gonna leave it at that...
-
Or, you could just donate to get a custom title and make your custom title [Top Donator]
You can't, there is only 8 letters limit.
-
Why would it be so difficult to keep track of the monetary contribution of each players and bestow the title without revamping the system. Donating in any form supports the server, you would not need to remove your "Extra's" in order to implement this. Simply have a system in place that tracks each players contribution amount and than based on the highest value it would bestow the title.
-
Currently we are more focused on rolling out more donation rewards. If you are waiting for a rank I wouldn't hold your breath.
-
I don't expect change over night, but I do know that unless the idea is put forth and fought for it cannot ever come to be. I'm very happy to know other changes and improvements are being worked on and I trust the community and leadership will fully appreciate the value of what we've stated here.
-
Could we have a preview of what is coming up?
I am really wondering what would be an option.
And if not all the donation packages together, do it partially.
-
Dont mean to drag up old topics. But this could be pretty easily implemented, I have done most of the code for recording donation sums on the smp side of things already.
Will consider it when we update the donation rewards again.
-
To Improve this idea use the same idea as [Top Voter] Its [Top Donator] it changes every month so its Top donor maybe have a benefit to it say Free $10 in Donator Items.
Thats just a final idea i thought while reading this post.

Well if your a top donator you might not need the $10, but maybe access to the /fly command would be a nice perk.

Then everyone will put there money in this game to get acces to fly. Just give them the "Top Donator" or like Mimesis said, Diamond donator or just a regular Donator Title.

Ok takeing the idea too Far Flying is a un needed thing The reason moderator+ have is because it helps in there day to day work on the server.
The Diamond idea to in my opinion is pointless, My idea is simply its the same as coters Top donar 1 2 3 simple and not wasteing time...

Sure its not needed, but its wanted, that's why I used it to counter suggest the idea of donating to get donation awards, it was just a thought.

I guess that could work or an in game cash prize to save 1,000 of member flying round Or you have but for the time the 'Top Donar' Lasts

Only one person would have the ability to fly thus being the TOP DONATOR sot there can only be one first place
-
Or different prizes for 2nd and 3rd, 2nd or instants 50,000 Ingame money 3rd 25,000 ingame money And 1st gets chocie between 100,000 ingame money or /fly... :-\

Off topic alert!!
I love how Optical just kinda dropped in and left without many people noticing.

Good idea if there was a support button I would click it :D.
