Simple Way to Monetise Creative and Build

I'm going to be the person here who kind of agrees with him.

It costs money to run a server of this caliber. If anyone has ever tried to host their own server they have a small idea of the monthly costs. Plus, more money would mean better Staffing. Better staffing mean faster updates and fewer bugs. Do you guys remember what happened to mcpvp? They went bankrupt. And he's not suggesting to take away any maps you already have.

In case you didn't know, build is already really, really limited. If you don't have a rank you only get one map. $2.50 is the same price as one CTF kit, which is still less than a small drink from Starbucks. That is nothing.

Creative is kind of like a babysitting server for younger people to play in, so I don't think that should be charged for. I appreciate not having that excess spam. Keep creative free.

But I like the idea of paying a couple extra bucks for something I wouldn't have had access to without a rank. It's a new option for people who don't want to suck up long enough to be server staff, and it could be profitable. Obviously everyone should keep what they already have.

 

The term is "Pay to Win", not "Pay to Play".

 

I feel that this is unnecessary for the build and creative servers. But that is just my opinion.

 

An opinion can't be wrong because it's someones thought on something. Honestly I am a fan of build and Creative and I don't find anything wrong with it other then how people abuse the shout bypass and the world edit. But, I get on there to hand build things for future plots on creative I use build as a "Sketching" if you will, server.

 

No. Just no.

 

Some kids like me dont have the parents to buy stuff for brawl.

 

I never said I wanted to take away anything you already have here.

I was suggesting an extra option for serious players who want more maps.

 

Perhaps Emas is a "serious player" who, as you've mentioned, needs more space for his builds. Do you expect him to toss some cash at Brawl just for a tiny and essentially worthless cuboid of blocks?

 

People toss money to Brawl for essentially worthless rank color names and kit/class perks all the time.

But it is just a block game, after all, and I suppose playing games is a waste of time for everyone here.

This is also assuming that Brawl is just some kid's side hobby run off his parents' computer, and not an actual business with an income and paid staff, right?

 

Sure, Brawl has a fluid and fluctuating economy like all businesses, but the purpose of Brawl is not to generate profit. Brawl's sole purpose is to provide entertainment, and as a subsidiary goal, to perpetuate itself. Our income is, in fact, not primarily purchases, but revenue out of Chap's pockets (or so I understand).

Imagine there are two museums. One of them permits free admission, but a gift shop and donation box are present. The other museum charges you an entry fee, as well as another fee whenever you enter an exhibit. If both museums offered exactly the same content, which would you prefer to visit?

 

Free museums are still funded by the government and private philanthropy.

Nothing is free. Servers are expensive.
And the ones we use total up to at least a few hundred bucks each month.
Here is our host.

As I've already asserted, the servers are largely funded out of our generous owner's (i.e. the government's) pocket.

Think about it this way:
Purchase required to play on creative (to a reasonable extent) ->
Discouraged players stop playing ->
Server becomes a drain on money ->
Server is discontinued.

We don't want to stifle our builders' creativity like that, do we?

 

... Except this doesn't come out of his pocket, unless you mean he gets fewer profits.
Server expenses are paid by his server profits.

...
Also, this.

 

...okay, perhaps I didn't read your post thoroughly enough :v

 

It was an analogy comparing Chaploo to the government. :l

 

Yeeesh, you guys you're making a flame war about this topic

 

cool the flame please this isn't a matter of brawlers its a matter of the owners so try not to flame about it thnks.

 

This is extremely unnecessary.
If anything, they should just give us more than 2 plots by making ranks, the better our builds, the more plots.
