    Suggestion:

    OK. I have two things to suggest about "tag"..

    1st is about changing [VIP] tag to more fancier way something like [$VIP$] and make colorful.

    2nd is about let the Nether rank or Aether rank appears on chat instead of main rank, when you are in that world.


    Reason:

    1st one is, [VIP] looks so plain and short comparing to main rank [*Tycoon*] or [$EcoLeader$]... And I even saw one player who is saying [$$$$] looks more cooler and wealthier than just plain [VIP] tag so he doesn't want to cross more than $500 USD total.. So I suggest to make it more fancier and colorful.. How about something like [$VIP$] with color differences like tycoon or ecoleader? or may be we can put dots like [V.I.P].. But if I have to choose, I would choose [$VIP$] with making "$" part a different color than "VIP".. And fancier and cooler look always give motivation to people to get higher rank especially like me. I am currently trying to get VIP with 100% EcoDollars buying giftcards. And for person like me this is very huge difference giving more and more motivation to reach to goal... For people who donates their own money? They will get motivation too by donating to get something like fancy [$VIP$].. Why do you guys think there are players getting [*Tycoon*] and [$EcoLeader$] even there is no reward? Because it looks COOL... [VIP] isn't just cool enough to be highest donator rank tag, I guess..

    2nd one is... How about let Nether rank([Survivor], [Warrior], [Terminator]) appears instead of normal "main world" rank, when you are in nether. So for example when you speak in global while you are in nether, not just changing color to purple, but also let people see your tag [Terminator], instead of [Mayor]... Same for Aether too.. If you are in Aether, you tag becomes [Pilot] or [Captain]... It will give more motivation to people for appling to the next rank in different world. When more people pays application fee to server, that means inflation speed of economy get's slowed down...

    And this is just one more suggestion... I hope there is something like Mining World rank too.. but this is not really important..

    OK. How do you guys think about my two suggestion about tag?

    It used to be like this. You weren't able to tell their normal rank. It got removed.
    The [Survivor] and [Pilot] tags I'm talking about (While in nether/aether)
    Actually all the nether/aether ranks...

    It caused confusion for users, and some users would just hide in Nether and Aether to lie about their rank and such. For Staff, it made things even more difficult.

    As well, it may have been removed for no longer being possible. Over the past couple of years, plugins and setup have changed around, and many chat-related things are different because their previous setups are no longer possible.

    As for VIP, [$VIP$] does look nicer. Although, I think it would be neat to have that as a "next rank up," like [$$$$] to [VIP].

    Oh OK then to prevent them from tricking their rank, how about something like "[President][Terminator][$VIP$]"? Like you can see both rank when you talk while in nether. Then still you can see the main world rank and also see nether rank. Is it too long? I don't think it's too much problem...

    -1.

    Tycoons and Ecoleaders have names that don't change colors when they are in the ming/nether/aether world. Those are one of the only perks they get. If they had a [Survivor] tag or something, everyone would know which world they are in, and that is one of the reasons why people purchase tycoon or ecoleader, to avoid color changes so people can't tell which world they are in.

    Normally, this would be fine. However, there are users who have paid for custom tags, which already need to remove (sometimes) their donator tag, in order to fit. I think the permissions setup to note the different types of names, tags, ranks, and custom tags would be a bit too messy.

    There is easy solution then. How about make a exception of those ranks. If the one of the main reason getting Tycoon or EcoLeader is to not show where they are, then all you gotta do is not apply this change to them. Just apply this for President and below ranks.

    I just personally think there should be a "motivation" and somekind of "reward" for people who is paying application fee for that certain rank. Not just some few abilities and commands(by the way it's even too few and weak reward), but also way to express their "identity" or "position" and that should not just apply for one type but also rank types for different worlds.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    And by the way how come most of replies are just talking about 2nd one? How do you guys think about 1st suggestion? Is it good idea to change VIP tag in much cooler way? Is [$VIP$] a good idea?

    Yeah it can be little bit messy, but custom tag is substitute for donator dollar tag, so it won't be chaos... and by the way most of the experienced player would recognize all the rank for different world.. So it would be like this...

    [Resident][Survivor][CustomTag] lurkblader: I need money!

    Is this too long? I think it's not that bad.. And by the way remember that this happens only when you are in nether or aether! And you don't see that many people who always stay there when you look up the chat... People in main world or mining world won't change. and people who has Tycoon and EcoLeader doesn't change either(although I want them to change.. I think it's better to give options to choose about whether their nether/aether rank appears or not.).

    This would also fill in the chat space really easily. Someone would have a really long name.

    No.. because CustomTag is substitute for [VIP].. so it would be like

    [President][Survivor][VIP] Lee1104
    or
    [President][Survivor][CustomTag] Lee1104

    ONLY if you are in Nether.. so not big problem with filling chats, considering that not high % of population stay too long in nether or aether. By the way, there is no space between those [] [].. And ONLY that long for people who has custom tag.. Is that too much? For my opinion, not really... considering the heaviness of "reward" for other rank application fee...


    ---------------[Edit]------------
    oh wait, can you still possess [VIP] even with your customtag? oh.. that would be long than.. but just think how many people in nether or aether talks.. it's not like huge number of people...

    Like you said, not much people talk in the nether/aether, so there would be no point of having this.

    Simply, "No point" for you who doesn't care much of other world's rank, not other people who cares like me.

    It still gives lot of meaning that you can atleast show your rank in that world when you are there. So there is a "point". That's at-least somekinda reward we can do for people who applied the rank. And people who cares that means a lot. by the way it doesn't do bad thing to you, so why are you so against?

    I think you and me debating is pointless, because of different point of view. Anyway what do you think about 1st suggestion?

    Personally I am not fussed with survivor/pilot etc showing up, but I do like the [$VIP$] tag as it would stand out more than it currently does. It gets lost more than the [$$$$] tag does in chat and a different color would assist in making it a more noticable reward than it currently is.

    I wouldn't say it's pointless, but it made /list ever changing, it made people confused about ranks and it's a mess for andrew to do.

    I don't like [$VIP$] personally. This is just a personal opinion, but I prefer my ranks/name to look "clean," in game. As of right now mine is;
    [President][$$$$] runakilli

    As I said, I prefer cleaner. So my idea of "clean" is -
    [President][VIP] runakilli

    Now what you're suggesting is -
    [President][$VIP$] runakilli

    Tell me what one you think looks "cleaner" and better looking out of the two VIP options. I think the way it is not is just fine. It's clean and smooth. I just personally do not think that "$'s" are to be used as "decoration" simply because I don't believe they're that good looking at all.

    That's my 2 cents.

    There seems to be people on both sides of this. Some that want VIP to have the $ signs next to it, and some that don't. While I personally agree the dollar signs would look better, there's really no reason to change it. Giving people an option "do you want $$ signs or not" seems a lot of work on andrew, and people would change their mind later, would want to change it.
    It's just a bit of a mess and there's no need to change it.


    As for the nether/aether ranks, kuke said above it would be a pain to configure, so that's my main reason against it. If it were more plausible, I would agree, some people do have long usernames, but a long name/tags don't really make a difference.

    But of course, we have config problems, so I gotta say no. It's works fine as it is now, no need to make it harder.

    As MoofinK said, I think $VIP$ should be a step up for VIP. Currently I think you can get the donation medal for $2500 donated? And only have a tag for $500+? I think that needs some adjusting.

    Perhaps we could have [VIP] for 500-1k and [$VIP$]1001+
