Classic

I'm sure plenty of clans will show up from many different servers but the question is if they will stay which completely depends on combat system for PVP & obviously many other relevant factors that will play a bigger role if the wilderness will be attractive enough for regular players & pkers. As always, I have faith that David & rest of the team will do the required things both before release & after release in order to make the wilderness a success on Zaros.

Hello and welcome to Zaros.

Oh, well from a business point of view the gap between $1,000 & $5,000 may not be the smartest move if I may say. Because if you have for example $2,500 between there someone might get that instead of the $1,000 meanwhile the $5,000 is so far away they might not even bother. What about buying bonds in-game then? Well you'll need a ridiculous amount of wealth to jump $4,000 in-game as well which means that really nobody can afford it with in-game money or even wants to spend that much which means they will most likely remain stuck at $1,000 and not buy more bonds from that point forward meaning that bonds won't be as high in demand which means the price won't be too good when you compare donating & what you receive in return which won't attract people to donate. Yes, I realize that if the demand falls the price falls and then people might buy them in-game and they will rise a little again & so on (hard to predict exactly what happens but I still think the gap is bad for both the players & Owners that are trying to make money with this game as a business) I could be wrong though and I'm sure you guys know what you're doing anyway but please do take this into consideration if not from the players point of view then at least have a bit of self interest ?

Fair enough, perhaps Supreme Donator could be around $2500 when and if it is going to be in the game.

Thank you for your reply on this discussion. How much will each of those ranks cost? I'm also wondering if 5 ranks is enough tbh. Perhaps something like this: $10, $50, $150/$200, $500, $1000, $2500, $5000 and maybe even a $10,000 donator rank?

Welcome Kip and hopefully you'll be enjoying your stay!

Yeah, I agree on this 100% because we're all different but being able to turn icons on or off will not give anyone a less or more of an advantage or have any impact on anyone's gaming experience on Zaros so for that reason they most definitely should consider offering the option to keep everyone happy even if it really isn't a big deal but something that might be appreciated by certain people.

Hardly anybody opens a RSPS these days from a hobby point of view and if you want an active server with players you will need to advertise & pay content creators which isn't cheap. Private server in 2020 is a business which relies on donations and nobody/not many people are going to donate unless they get something in return for their money. However there are many different ways of making donating worthy meanwhile not actually fucking up the whole economy or giving iron accounts too massive advantage and here's how or at least the main idea what a donator store could offer: 1) Quality Of Life stuff: Things that generally make the game more easy & smooth for the players Could be for example a donator zone that makes skilling more smooth & efficient or you get to do farm runs more often depending on your rank & you receive a small boost when picking your herbs from your planted seeds. There could also be for example some sort of slayer points boost or a donator only slayer cave / cheaper instances for boss rooms 2) Unlocking untradable items from the donator store will save time but it won't have a negative impact on the economy (Fire cape,void,dragon defender etc) 3) The higher donator rank you have the more: A) Minigame points you receive per game (pest control for example) B) You get to skip more waves at fight caves & inferno for example C) More vote points each time you take your time to vote D) You don't need to pay to repair broken barrows/decanting potions for free 4) Skilling outfits that give you small boost for certain skills could be in the donator store 5) Maybe there could be an extremely small boost for drop rates if you have +$500 in donations 6) Cosmetics that let you stand out from rest of the players: A) Rare items that won't have an impact on the economy or give unfair advantage PVP or PVM wise B) Different tiers of donators can unlock different types of skin colors to stand out C) Different kind of scrolls in the donator store that will give you small boosts for example: TOB scroll/COX scroll/Gauntlet scroll/Clue scrolls/Drop rate booster/Pet hunting scroll and maybe even some sort of PVP points scroll This list could go on for quite a long time but this is just a simple example because people should get something in return for their money otherwise they simply won't donate if they don't see a reason to do so but of course it shouldn't be anything that wrecks the economy or gives people a massive advantage compared to other players because that will just demotivate them as well.

The donator rank isn't about who's more important or better than someone else but depending on your rank it might be more unique & offers you the opportunity to stand out from the rest of the players. Of course you also get some nice donator rank benefits & other kind of stuff. However if donator ranks bother certain people I don't see why they couldn't add an option to turn the icons off for those that wish to do so but the players that wish to see their own & other donator ranks should obviously also have the right to choose that.

Welcome man and I've been playing RS related games myself since summer of 2003. Age doesn't matter as long as you're enjoying what you're doing because in the end that's pretty much the only thing that is relevant. Hopefully you'll enjoy your stay on Zaros ?

Does anyone here by any chance have any information on how many different donator ranks & what value they will be on the release of Zaros?

That's quite impressive, well done!

Thanks ?

Sounds good to me ?

HCIM!
