Title: SMP Donation Rewards
Post by: Raichor on January 22, 2012, 05:54:52 pm
Maybe there could be some SMP Donation rewards. This would help optical get more money, make some in-game items easier to access as well as making the SMP server less reliant on the classic server.
Some reward ideas (I don't know the worth of USD that much so i did this in Pounds sterlings :P )
Diamond protection stone - £15
Portal to the end £5
Large plot of land (120x120) £40
Medium plot of land (80x80) £35
Small plot of land (60x60) £30
Any suggestions or comments on this idea?

There will be donation rewards in the near future.

Plots of land are WAY overpriced and I can't see that much demand for them.
Why would you spend £40 on a 120x120 plot of land when you could buy a classic one at 512x512x512 at just £25ish.


Another few ideas:

Having a donators wall at spawn, where you can pay to "Buy" a sign for $1 or whatever. You can put anything you want on it, apart from obvious banned things (Racism, swears, abuse etc. (I think it would be fair to put: "Moderators can remove these signs with no refund if they believe you have abused the system" or something.))

I think a good money --> ingame dollars price would be roughly £1 = $5k.

Because Classic ≠ SMP

I was going to make a topic about donation rewards, but it was going to be far more better than this, I was going to add the plugins, how to get them compatible with some other plugins you have now (That I've noticed) and I was going to have a video on me demonstrating it.

As i stated, we have already been working on the donation rewards.

I totally agree :-\

Because Classic ≠ SMP

Because on SMP you can walk for about 5 minutes, then find a 120x120 plot of land for... Free.

Like a donation for a diamond protection stone seems ok.

I dont think that you should donate for tools.

But maby you could donate for in-game money?

Erm I play on other servers and they do zoned areas of land at 10x10 per £ and certain other plugins and mods such as:

/jumpto /Thru (compass mod)=£10

Magic carpet=£15

The ability to right in colored text. For example you would write &4Hello and you would get Hello=£15

Teleportation= £10

Permanent reserved slot= £5

NPC (Non Playing character)= One per every £15

Super pick axe= £30


Those are a few of many I have come across.

Some ideas I have are maybe Mob Disguise. So £5 Would get you say Chicken, Pig, Cow, Sheep. £10 would get you say Zombie, Skeleton, Spider. £15 would get you say Creeper, Cave Spider, Zombie Pig Man. £20 would get you say Silver fish, Blaze. £25 would get you say Nether Dragon. £30 Would get you say Ender Dragon. £35 Would get you say Giant. And £40 would get you: Any player you wish.
Im sure this could rack you in some cash. It all comes in a single plugin named Mob Disguise (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-rpg-mobdisguise-v1-65-transform-into-any-mob-and-players-too-no-client-mods-1-0-1-rb.28750/) It is supported by Bukkit yet unfortuantely it is still to update.

I like the mob disguises, but i dont think its gonna happen.

I do know that there is a plug-in that can do this.

So maby if this did exist, you could do /creeper, and all of the other players would see you as a creeper, or maby /chicken. idk

What about exp? No guarantee of anything good but it's always fun.

Like the suggestions, most seem feasible which is good. Experience is definitely something that could/should be sold I think.

Post by: Mr_Mr_Mr on January 23, 2012, 12:16:32 am
I have a suggestion I might just throw out wile I'm here. There could be a donation reward where you can set multiple compass locations so you can find your way there. There could be a command that is /setcompass 1,2,3,4,5 and /viewcompass 1,2,3,4,5 and it points to the location you set it to. No, I could not find a plugin for this.
Title: Re: SMP Donation Rewards
Post by: killerdonkey on January 23, 2012, 05:55:46 pm
Theres a plugin that enables Private Warpes. To set one you type /pw set [name]... to go to one you type /pw goto [name].

Quite like multiple home points. But by compass points im not sure what you mean.

That exactly what it does.

This is what should happen.

1$ = 5K$ in game

This system would help ranks, donation, etc.
Donators should have their own rank, and kits.
A kit is a set of tools that you can spawn anytime after a cooldown.

So when someone types /kit starter, they get the started kit spawned, etc

You are NOT allowed to sell kit spawned items
Kit suggestions:

(Free) Starter kit (available to guests+) - Wooden shovel, wooden pick, wooden axe, wooden sword, bow, 5 arrows, 5 torches (30 minute cooldown)

(Free) Member kit (available to Member+ ) - stone shovel, stone pick, stone axe, stone sword, bow, 10 arrows, 10 torches, 5 bread (60 minute cooldown)

(Free) Trusted kit (available to Trusted+ ) - iron shovel, iron pick, iron axe, iron sword, bow, 20 arrows, 15 torches, 1 cake (90 minute cooldown)

(Donate 5$) donator kit (available to only Donators) - diamond shovel, diamond pick, diamond axe, diamond sword, bow, 64 arrows, 36 torches, 5 cake (90 minute cooldown)

(Donate 25+$) custom kit (available to only Donators with 25$+) - anything they want within reasonable amount to the amount they donated, 10 diamond blocks, grass blocks, iron bars, etc.(120 minute cooldown)

Post by: Nick3306 on January 23, 2012, 06:55:43 pm
Ya we were exploring kit ideas but the ones you listed are way too high. I'm not sure we want trusted members to get a full set of iron tools every 20 minutes. And things like regular blocks wouldn't be available because they could be sold back to the market.

Mob disguises are definitely possible.
Title: Re: SMP Donation Rewards
Post by: tylerhan2000 on January 23, 2012, 07:07:19 pm
It's for sure a concept to I have seen working, on numerous other servers, Ill go switch up the cooldown times.

And £40 would get you: Any player you wish.

Just getting this out there: No.

You can imitate any player you like. That could be used for griefing, trolling, whatever. You get the point.

I agree with the guy above me, you can't go wrong with xp deals and suckers like me fall for them constantly over and over again.

Since this is SMP, I feel like having plain items as donation deals would be a cool idea.  Just be spontaneous when you think of them.

For example you could do deals like this:

Donation deal 1 - $5

- one set of chainmail armor
- 10 diamonds
- stack of moss stone
- in game [donator] tag

Donation deal 2 - $7

- 500 levels of xp
- in game [donator] tag

Donation deal 3 - $10

- diamond protection stones
- colored name to need
- Colored text, & 1-9 excluding staff colors
- in game [donator] tag

Might I also suggest you install some plugins that can be used as an advantage just for donation deals, such as mob disguise, party hats, or even just coding nicknames in essentials. (I know you have, just for an example, but on the SMP server) For example:

Donation deal 4 - $16

- ability to use the /md command to transform into the mob of your choice
- ability to use the /nick command to change your name
- in game [donator] tag

And for instance, you can have lesser deals such as weekly donation deals, ie

Weely donation deal 1 - $2

- 50 levels of xp
- 8 diamonds

Well I hope you appreciate my opinions, and its completely up to the owner to create the deals he wants.

some of those suggestions are good, but i think that for just a couple of dollars, 500 xp is a little too much.
Title: Re: SMP Donation Rewards
Post by: Nick3306 on January 27, 2012, 05:07:17 pm
Instead of just one donor tag, we are planning on having donor ranks depending on how much a player has donated.

How about titles?

Level 1: "Nooby white"  (Left in black so you can read the post!)
Level 2: Choice of: "Kinda cool yellow" and "Not so great grey"
Level 3:  Striking Green or Mediocre Maroon
Level 4: "Badass Black" and "Garish (In a good way) Green
Level 5: Real sweet Red
Level 6: Option to use multicoloured titles.

Owner is red and black is too hard to read.

I was thinking of titles, not names. (Like on classic) And if someone wants black, they can have it, even if nobody can read?

I dont think Diamonds should be a reward to donate. Diamonds are Way to easy to get. Vote.
But the Exp, and Tags (or like Nick said, donor ranks) sound like a good idea.

Post by: Spamarian on January 28, 2012, 01:43:05 am
I have no great experience on SMP, but the only good that I see is about Diamond protection stone.
But, to give 20$ for that, I think it is too much. You can buy 40+ 11x11x11 stones with that money.

About the idea of having 1pound=5k $ of game, I believe its too much.
I like though, about the label=1$,2$ I could buy one. I like that.
1) A mob spawn for 25$ would be good. I dont know though how many will buy it.
And I just want to mention something. If a server become for donators, then it loses its sense. Just a 10-15 things to donate I believe far than enough.
