    So, as you all know Mojang put in place a new EULA system that knocked out all pay2win with the Minecraft Multiplayer servers. Still, somethings are allowed and other servers just like us are using them. Because of the EULA we had to remove our Elite/MVP/VIP ranks on some servers as they supplied a big advantage which was no longer allowed. We are now running a Booster system which doesn't bypass the EULA but some people aren't liking it and I believe I have a better solution to our problem.

    Brawl needs to make money somehow and free elite is only going to kill Brawl and WarZ in general so that won't work. I understand you all want to pay for free but that cannot happen for the most part now. I thought about it and Mojang don't have any rules on pay2play. So here is my idea:

    A lives system. Everyone once upon logging in has x amount of lives, obviously if you die once you lose a life and when it runs down to 0 you can no longer play warz. Everyone has access to enderchest and /tpa which suits us all and you begin with a large amount of lives which can be discussed in the future. (I would say around 300ish). The lives system is simple and doesn't bypass EULA so it can be used, once you run out of your first set of free lives you have to go to the store at shop.brawl.com and purchase more to login and play warz, obviously new players are still able to join and try to play doing this as they get the first set of free lives to try out the gamemode which if they enjoy they will also contribute to keeping warz up by paying for lives.

    The commands for this system are simple, once you die you will be asked if you want to be respawned and use up a life (it will also tell you how many you have). When you use a life you will obviously have 1 deducted from your total amount. You can give your friends some of your lives with the command /lives give <player> <amount> making gifts easier to give. You can also check how many lives you have with /lives check. I believe this is a more fair way for warz to go as the booster system is hard to work as we all have to come together as a community to purchase for one another, here you are being independent with your own money just like before with ranks.

    I personally think we should try boosters out and if they fail to bring an income we should switch to a lives system. What do you think?

    Edit: /kill(ing) doesn't romove lives.

    Live prices would be considered if it gets put in to play.

    Also a /lives check <player> would be a thing.

    Since you're able to transfer lives, what stops players from getting on alt accounts and transfering lives to their main accounts?

    Nothing, just more of a hassle for them. They can easily do so.

    One thing that worries me about lives is that you can lose these, a lot by people camping you all the time in WarZ.
    Yes the lives do last forever which is very nice. A mix between the lives.

    Lives do last longer (way longer in-fact) than boosters. So I'm liking this 'lives' thing.

    I'm pretty sure anyone would be willing to go through the hassle of getting on an alt which takes less than a minute, instead of paying money for something can be virtually free. The main goal is to create more revenue for Brawl.

    I personally believe that this idea would bring in more profit than the Boosters but we can only see with time. Most people also want to play on their main account so they will purchase lives, plus what happens when they use up all of their lives on alts?

    How many alts does Dash have? This is a good idea, just take off the giving lives to other players. Or maybe have two sets of lives. Gift lives and Just lives. You can buy lives like this.

    TheMafias -

    20 Lives - $.50
    20 Gift Lives - $.75

    They are the same but you can only give the Gift lives away. I didn't really care for the prices but gift ones should charge more. Plus you start the game with regular lives.
    Also ranks give you free lives. 50 lives per month?

    Gifting should be the same amount as getting lives regardless if it's for an alt, it's kinda silly to pay 25 cents more for a gift. If someone was using alts, all they would need to do is buy on that alt and not waste 25 cents more :I

    But the issue is, someone with an alt can simply buy lives on that without "gifting", why should it be more expensive when it's trying go around a simple problem when someone actually using it correctly for a gift of someone gets punished for it? Punished in a sense of costing more for a silly reason on alts.

    20 lifes 50 $ that would be way to expensive, noone will pay this and the Server will die out because noone has lifes anymore.

    True, again. Prices weren't thought about. The main idea is to keep away from grinding lives from alts.

    That is 0.50 lol, not even a dallor

    Note, it has a dot in it, thus meaning it costs cents rather than 50 does for 20 lives. You would gain waaaay more lives if you payed 50$ however..
    (Edit) Woops, already solved, oh wells.

    I have friends with alt generators that give accounts that haven't been used. Yesterday one got over 300 accounts.

    Creative idea but it does not seem like it would work to me. First of all, it would take a LONG time to die 300 times. Brawl needs to make money fast, just to support the server, and this does not seem like it would pull more money than boosters. Also, this system would just be beneficial towards people that have alts or alt generators. Is that really something we want to encourage? Finally, I know for a fact that there are many people in WarZ that would be unable to buy new lives, as cheap as they might be. Sometimes someone does not have PayPal/Credit Card, or their parents just do not want them spending money on a game.

    I understand you WarZ players want your Enderchests and /tpa back, that is the basis of WarZ, and us WarZ players have grown accustomed to these privileges. But I just do not see this system working well. Sorry to upset you guys, but this is my honest opinion.

    As I said, live amounts and prices will be discussed if it happens. 300 was an example.

    Thats fine. Let them.
