Kai Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I won't mention the old SAMP server name but as a lot of us here, including staff are from there - you'll already know what I'm talking about. The benefits to VIP right now are dog poop. This wouldn't bother me much if the price matched, but 10 EUR a month for VIP? Thats more than many AAA subscription based games. I would like for the rewards to be looked at again, and possibly even a tier system. I would love an expensive option, one that is permanent with good benefits. Whilst I pay for VIP, not a single one of my friends think its worth it - and I agree.. I buy it to support the server but if things aren't changed I certainly won't renew when my 12 months are up. Tiers could be in Bronze, Silver and Gold - with a Platinum (or whatever name) as a permanent but expensive option. Rewards could be: Increased salary, Discounted mors cost, vehicle upgrades/repairs, cheaper access to weapons/armour. Increased rewards from drugs or fishing - and so on. I acknowledge that some things are made awkward by the fact that in some cases you're effectively purchasing from player owned businesses but something needs to be done.

Vallorz Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 +1 Would be nice to see some more VIP Benefits, specially at the current price that VIP is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobDude Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I wish they could add more payment options. I love to donate but can't use paypal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleks Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I recently started playing again but since they removed bleets which was the only reason I bought it for. Weazel is never online or available which is still an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickMorningStar Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I honestly agree with this 100%, because if i wanted to donate and have any benefits, i'll have to be donating alot of money. It doesn't seem fair, a tier system in place would definitely be something that could be enforced, with a reward system that's based around it; obviously higher the better rewards.

Jasmine Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Removed my favorite benefit, free citybee, because now citybee is never available (might as well remove the icons btw). Need something to replace it. Maybe VIP can use CityBee even when there are taxis out?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxJustTimmy Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Although I agree with the need for more VIP/Donator perks the suggestions you made are making the server Pay2Win which is exactly what the server does not want to be at all. +1 -1 Edited April 17, 2019 by xxxJustTimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi208 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's already pay to win, half the city's driving a comet these days. But yeah as for the VIP, it's true the perks are so lackluster at the moment that I've stopped buying VIP the month they removed bleeter. You took a few awesome features and replaced it with nothing guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marca Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think people with VIP get enough financial benefit like lower taxes, fines, free cityB and so on. Giving VIP higher salaries, cheaper guns and armour would make the game P2W. While I do feel more perks would be nice, I think they should be more subtle. Like faster refuelling, electric vehicles very slowly recharging when parked, ability to use cityB even if taxi drivers are on... Even though I have VIP now and will so in the future, I'm against any perks that would push the server over the line and make it become P2W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer Stein Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 +1 VIP has been doodoo for a long time. I used to be VIP and saw pretty much zero benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 For those saying that I am asking for P2W - I am not at all. If the server feels that they must remove so many of the benefits, lower the price. Simple as that. I'm actually totally happy with how the rewards are, but the price is too high for what we get. Increase benefits, or lower the price. Nobody wants P2W including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money does not equal a direct winning advantage. That's the point. These donations keep the server running, allowing you to play and make any money at all. Once again, as I've said already - I don't need massive changes, but the price does not match the rewards. The support on this thread so far is pretty clear. Anyway, not interested in arguing with you. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backpedalling at it's finest ^^ I think VIP needs to go the route of extra cosmetic features. Such as, cool paint jobs for your cars. Exclusive outfits. Gun camos. Stuff like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
