    What kind of booster do you want and why.
    The only available options are the ones in the Poll.

    (We will not be going with an hour long global booster as it would simply mean everyone mass buys features online after logging in after a recent purchase without even participating in somehow thanking/paying the user who purchased it, etc. We want it to be as short as possible, so the user buying it still feels like he got an exclusive quick time frame to purchase in game /buyfeature stuff at a discount. However due to EULA compliance it still must be active server wide thus everyone will be able to buy).


    Please vote, we want to see a quick tally of where people stand.
    We can only pick one booster, so make your choice carefully.


    Some quick % examples:
    No Booster Water Price: 225,000 ECD
    50% Booster Water Price: 112,500 ECD
    60% Booster Water Price: 90,000 ECD
    70% Booster Water Price: 67,500 ECD


    PS: Your vote will not be public, it will be anonymous.

    I'll make my vote public and explain my choice:
    I voted $24.99 at 70% OFF.

    - Cheap features. :D
    - User feels more exclusive.
    - Allows more server support. (Gotta fund this place somehow :dead:)

    Would it be possible to offer all three options upon purchase?

    Not necessarily, BuyCraft limitation at this point.
    It would be, "messy" code wise.

    Btw, the 70% booster would mean features are 4.5k/PRE-EULA USD
    That's better than most people sold for :p

    I know you were very adamemt about not having 'stacking' boosters but what about the possibility of having x% off for $y until you reach z% off, then additional ones extend time. I think the problem with having such a large booster so cheap is that people just won't buy features until a booster is active (then again, maybe that's the plan *shrug*

    We launched /buyfeature 2 days ago.
    Only 2 features have been bought, everyone else has completed ignored it :p - so that's already the case.

    I like 70% off :) 4.5k/USD is pretty nice, but only for 10min? Too short. Maybe 15-20.

    Definitely won't be longer than 10. The point is to give the user purchasing the advantage as much as possible while staying legally EULA compliant. That user has time to prepare his/her EcoDollars, and be ready for the big purchase/s they will be making with /buyfeature.

    Of course people aren't going to buy if they know these boosters are coming :p but the implementation i proposed i think encourages more people to buy, instead of just leeching off a single user :)

    Agree. Definitely quick enough to break the sign, take the money, and buy what you want to buy.

    Since that is currently "at this point", if this limitation is eventually removed, would we be able to have boosters that are active for twice as long, but twice the price?

    I know it's essentially the same thing as buying a booster twice in a row, but this would be more convenient to those buying the boosters and those purchasing features.

    I like the last one because it forces more people to buy it for more rewards and makes the user who buys it more special :)

    I say the last one but if you are about to use this, think about being kind and put it in the shoutbox :)
