I was wondering if it was possible or not for Ibis to start a Single Server Purchase for admin.
I Don't play any of the other servers and want to buy it but don't want to waste extra on other servers
If i could suggest the amount per server, i'd say like 6-7$
Sorry if this goes against the rules in any way, new to the forums and couldn't find the rules.

Will paying $4-5 more per month honestly financially hurt you?

I didnt change your post lol...didnt realize i got mod powers and hit edit post instead of reply..rofl.


Anyway...11 bucks is the rate. Think of it as a donation if you will...but 11 dollars is the only choice for admin.

this. it's like PBS. you're not buying the stuff you see on-screen, you're donating a certain amount and getting a shitty concert set on DVD.

or in the case of Ibis, you're not 'buying' admin per-say, you're donating 11$ and are being given admin as a thank-you.

most likely wont happen, though it would be a good business proposal. 11$ for full server admin, 5$ for 1 server admin rights. 7$ for two server admin rights... could make more money then one flat rate.

Or less...if people were able to downgrade to just say...wcs, im sure theyd do so, but i dont see it increasing numbers of buyers all that much.

you are right, that is only because ibis wasnt founded on the idea of a steady revenue but rather a flat rate donation prospect. its to late to pursue adventurous business models imho.

I don't think it's too late..I just think it would be a loss, at first, at least. I'm sure as people downgraded and the numbers steadied, that a gain would be seen. It would just take some time, and zero, would have to be willing to go through the loss. It would be interesting to see it in trial, though, and see how numbers change.

I think it would be a loss as most people don't play all the servers. Plus 11 bucks a month is not much money to support the servers you play on almost daily. Oh and mikey, SUPER HAX ON

Yup. this idea would cause for less money coming into the community.

The rates were created when there only was 1 IBIS server. They have always remained the same. The additional servers were added for free. So you actually are paying for only 1 server, we over time added the ZM, GG, WCS (when it is up CS:GO) and NS2 servers to that at no additional cost. Likewise we will continue to add servers in the future at no cost for the same price that only offered 1 server when we first started!

Hmmmm, I remember a 1$ increase in said rates.... lol. Anyway, the rates are cheap and fine. So much admins on so many great servers for the low low rate of 11$. What's not to love about that.
