Prefered Players??
« on: August 02, 2004, 09:27:01 pm »
Now as we all know, this game is free, and will remain free. But does anyone know if there will be like a \"prefered players\" thing? Where like if you send the team X ammount of dollars, will you get a boost to your stats and maybe some extra money or weapons and what not?

I think it might be interesting and beneficial if PS had a \"donations\" box and if you donated you would get a little pip next to your name...

Yea, something that wouldn\'t effect your stats.  I hate games like that.  Someone who has money to throw around could be as high skills as someone who\'s been working their tail off for 2 weeks straight.

well since the devs are in all 4 corners of the globe it would be kinda hard to get the money to everyone

hmm... Dat be true. I suppose Talad could amass a certain amount of money and portion it out when there\'s enough for \"everyone to have a piece\" :P

Nah, money could be split evenly and easily... All the dev\'s would have to do is to get a paypal account... Hmmm , wait... It\'s probably different in different parts of the world, I haven\'t check paypal out very much.

I have herd bad things about PayPal, check it out here: http://www.paypalsucks.com/

Anyway, I do not like the idea of you getting something back as far as in-game because rich people could take advantage of this, maybe they could give us T-Shirts if we donated more then $10 or something else not used in-game?

I would hate to see someone bragging: ?I paid 10$ for this really cool looking sword! It has a 1 hit kill!? or something like that.

I like that it is a Free Game & the devs do not use money to make it, only there time. But yes, I think a donation thing would be good as a way to say ?Thankyou!? not a way to increase stats in-game?

I agree with Zeraph about not having ingame rewards.  It would just be too easy for some people to become \"uber\" while others worked hard just to get a decent weapon.  

I would certainly consider donating a bit to the devs for all their hard work, though, at least when the game is a little bit more complete.  :)

We appreciate the work you\'re doing, devs!  Thanks!  :D

I\'ve been told that the planeshift devs don\'t want, and will never want donations.
If you really want to donate, donate to the game engine Crystal Space.

These guys have worked just as hard as the ps devs, and without them, planeshift probably wouldn\'t be in the stage it is now.

Yep, I believe a while ago one of them said something along the lines of \"And frankly I wouldn\'t know what to do with it\" ...

Can someone look up in the dictionalry the word \"donate\" in the dictionary please? When u donate you are \"giving\" not \"recieving\" . I hate games when people donate and get special features and items!

Yeah, donating is great and all, but I doubt the devs want any,

(like they\'d get more than 20 dollars anyways, not in the sense that the game sucks, cause it DOESN\"T but that its a donation)

and again, http://www.paypalsucks.com ..... don\'t use pay pal, its a shoddy company who steals money and doesn\'t care about the people they hurt.

And again, that \"donating to get rewards\" thing is totally stupid. It makes the game dumb and shallow for everyone. I\'m wondering why no one else has called this idea totally retarted.

They have...  That makes up the majority of the posts in this thread :D

Is anyone here really Kyle Poole from crimsonfire.com in disguise? *sorry, randomness, sleepy*

EDIT: When I read someone\'s idea to give t-shirts, I at first thought they meant t-shirts as artiles of in-game clothing! That would be weird... \"I donated to planeshift!\" and then, in smaller lettering \"Kill me! I\'m OOC!\"
