Title: Donation Perk idea
Post by: Leafolozzy on January 19, 2014, 06:56:02 pm
Hello, this is a brief suggestion on some donation perk ideas i've had.

1.) Ability to change color in chat
Honestly, it wouldn't change anything. The character limit is still the same, so it wouldn't be spammy. Plus it is fun and a good reward.
20$ for ability to change colors

2.)TP to coordinates
This is when you can tp to certain coordinates in the world. This would be very useful and get a lot of sales.
10$ for tp to cords

3.)Flying
Yeah, i know moderators get flying, but what if we wanted to fly? It would be fun to fly, and a good reward for those who have it.
15$ for flying ability.

4.)Access to inaccessible items (Sponges, diamond ore, lapis ore, end portal blocks etc)
This would be a good perk, especially to show off that you donated to opticraft and that you care about opticraft!
5$ per stack of item

5.)Suffixes
Suffixes are basically titles at the end of a username. Same color change, same 8 letters, same price.
Price= 20$

I hope you enjoy and takes these into consideration. Put your own ideas down!

Hi,

1 and 3 have been discussed multiple times before. Coloured chat has never worked before, and just leads to the chat looking messy, and it being abused, and we feel that flying ruins the survival aspect of the server.

I personally am not a fan of Suffixes, and I feel that teleport to co-ordinates could be abused easily (You can bypass any protection by counting block co-ordinates.

Maybe 4. could be implemented, but not for the ores, since they are being used as protection stones, nor Sponge, since it can destroy any water based construction, leaving no block history.

All of these ideas are awesome, but there are some that could be questioned...

Like buying stacks of blocks that aren't available. First of all, if the owners/admins wanted these blocks to be open for the public, they would surely let them be. So maybe there is a reason sponges and other blocks aren't available for the regular member to use.

Second, flying you should have to earn. Coming from a person who does not have access to flying, yes it would be very helpful, but you should still have to earn it by applying for moderator.

Suffixes, Tp to coords, and colour changing I would definitely agree with.

First, suffixes are fun, awesome, and exciting. Probably something 90% of the server would donate for (including me). Titles are cool but aren't we all getting a bit bored of them?

Next, since we can donate for teleportation (only to teleport to other players) why not have it to coordinates? I think that would be great if we could donate for that.

Colours are so much fun on chat, but still I could see how it would get spammy, because I'm sure the admins thought very thoroughly about this idea. Colours are fun, but get annoying at times, etc. So I'm not choosing any sides on colours.

I could only see 5 even having a chance of being considered. 1 is going to create a lot of mess, 2 and 3 are just...no. 4 is asking for creative mode. 5 could be nice, don't see anything wrong with that.

Problem with being able to tp to Coors is players could to to places that take time to find e.g. ice spike biomes and also it could be used to enter bases that people want to be private

If you guys aren't going to contribute positively to the suggestion, or give your constructive criticism, then don't post at all.

Changing colors in chat was probably my favorite thing about classic

Is there a plugin or something that could prevent that?

that would be so redundant... allow people to tp to coords, then make a whole plugin to prevent people from teleporting to coords

1.) Ability to change color in chat

NO, too many colours and chat becomes a confusing mess, although fun for some most wouldn't appreciate its actual use.

2.)TP to coordinates

No, the fun is in the adventure of walking there, and checking out other builds along the way  and I agree that it could be misused as previously suggested

3.)Flying

Too much temptation for misuse, plus where's the challenge in getting stuff like glowstone?

4.)Access to inaccessible items

This could work depending on the item,


5.)Suffixes

no, can u imagine how long a name would be with both titles and suffixes?

At least it was only for ops so it wasn't one colour for each word. Plus, with how fast the chat went in classic, the colours helped make the message more noticeable, we don't need that on smp.

Thanks for posting your suggestions... but try to think more of the pros and cons before posting something that is likely to be rejected. Good ideas.. but try and post a foundation on how they would work, and how we could prevent abuse of the perks, any how.. keep trying!  ;)

This is why I made more then 1 idea, because otherwise they would consider having one of the options.

And besides, we haven't had a new perk in a while, so i thought i would be nice to have one.

If there are to be new donation perks, they should be subtle ones that do not drastically change your gameplay.
That being said, the ability to tp to coordinates will create a major gap between those who donated and those who don't. Same goes with flying.
And regarding inaccessible items, you won't have access to them in SSP, why would you have access to them in SMP?
