I was reading Mojangs post on ways to monetize a server and still stick with the EULA https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/ It states "You are allowed to charge players to access your server" so my idea was setting up ranked servers that only ranked players can access (seems within the EULA) And then using BetterEnderChest or a similar buk to allow ALL MEMBERS EQUALLY to move their inventory over to the worlds they are playing in. A similar system was used years ago in a server far far away I used to mod in. So for example a Sponsor player has access to The Sponsor server were he can like all the other players in that server use his kit. Here's the twist. Then he signs in to opfactions accesses his enderchest and is able to move his items over. Its just a matter of wording the monetization in a way that says "ALL MEMBERS ARE EQUALLY ABLE TO MOVE ITEMS ACROSS THE SERVERS THEY ARE PLAYING IN" It's a legalize loophole. Don't know if it's within the spirit of the law but it sure is within the wording of it. Don't know if this would even actually work just I guess brainstorming and contributing to the thought process. Don't even know if it is possible to implement this. But hey ideas are the oil that keeps brains moving... in my zombie grinder.
This is actually a VERY good idea Imo. Just have individual world's that you can only claim your kit and store stuff in ur echest. Genuinely inpressed, excellent idea @Chicago2012
Neutral. You'd need to create a duplicate of every single server. This will cost twice as much in renting the servers and creates a large about of server lag.
If you find a good enough host, you can get a server that has everything you need for like 9$ and with the amount of donaters to players ratio we have Im sure Cyp could afford It, as for the Suggestion I support.
I believe that yes higher ranks would be able to access lower rank servers since the ranking system is basically adding permission categories to the player profile technically every titan is also every other rank . To be honest I would still play on this server if everyone was a very Microsoft/mojang="socialist totalitarian fascist regime" same. But having perks for contributing is very cool. Besides the server needs to at least generate income to cover running expenses. And If the owner makes a profit even better since he becomes motivated to innovate game modes and maintain it.
