Do you think that donating for every server in the AEM Networks is fair?

  1. Yes I do, because I only play one or two servers. :)

    This is to everyone on the entire server!

    I think that it is absurd for us gamers to have to donate separately to every single server just to auction and to gain VIP access.

    I am an avid gamer who likes variety. I play every game on this server and if I would like to advance I do not want to go through not being able to sell my items without making a shop or selling my items and not being able to get anything in return such as; "If I would like a stack of 64 of Iron and I would pay you 5000 to buy that stack of Iron. We meet up and you give that someone 5000 and then they TP away and then you get scammed!" (does not include factions because you are allowed to scam).

    I would not like to spend almost $50 to be able to truly enjoy myself. I would not mind spending $25 or even $30 to be able to be a VIP on every game this server offers.

    If any other Avid Gamer would like to help me Petition this because you think things need to change in the Donations. Then Take the Poll!

    Thank you for reading my opinions and concerns!

    When doing trades with other people, make sure you have a backstory and ask other players that know of his/her scamming accountants.

    Donating to AEMNetwork would be very considerable because it helps the server excel above other servers and when that happens, AEMNetwork can upgrade everything to a better management.

    If you like this server, definitely consider donating.

    If this post is about "Why don't ranks transfer?", they don't transfer because AEMNetwork is only in the 400 ranked server, when they get higher in the ranked system, they MIGHT consider it, or they'll keep it like that, cause it tends to bring in money.

    Transferring ranks through all servers would op and time consuming, trying to figure out what each donation gets ALL over again and resetting everyone's rank.

    As far as I am aware, on all of the servers it is $20 or less to gain access to make auctions. :3

    Also like omgpotato said, AEM needs donations to run as well as it does. It doesn't help just you with the perks you get from donating, but the entire server to excel.

    This is how I see it. AEM Network is a NETWORK of servers, not one individual server. That's a crap ton to pay for, so they need individual server donor ranks if they want to keep the server running.

    Thing is, this would be a nice idea but it's totally impractical. If you think of the people have have bought ranks on multiple servers then suddenly ranks become network wide they would not be happy if the ranks they maybe paid $400 for suddenly became worth $200.

    We have been considering a AEMNetwork donation type of system for some time. It's still in the discussion process right now but we definitely hear your concerns. Please do take into consideration though that AEM takes thousands of dollars to run every month on top of the man power and hours that administrators, developers, owners and various other staff members put into it.

    The donation system is incredibly important to keep this running so any change to it is a major decision. I've heard things such as a monthly donation discussed somewhat like a 'membership' and that is in my opinion the best option. I'd love to have something like a $7 per month membership fee to get a certain level of rank on each server. Of course we'll have to work out all the math of it though and make sure it wont affect the funding of the server.

    You should hear some changes coming soon :)

    Now remember everyone this is just an OPINION! Just something that I thought would be a good topic to discuss with everyone on the server. An idea that can be considered.

    Now how will the monthly fee work if we have already donated to the server will the lvl of rank be removed or will our status stay the same because we already donated at that point in time?

    I don't think they have everything all figured out quite yet so just give them some time. I'm sure IF this is implemented at some point in the future, there will be an announcement made with the details of how it will work.
