VIP lasts for 2 months (2 items, rather than 1, though). How it works: there's a 2 month time period that people can buy VIP through, but remaining VIP time isn't individual, rather than set server-wide. As the end of the VIP interval comes closer, the price of VIP drops (down to 10,000 gralat minimum) while VIP's original start price (at the beginning of ghe month) is 20,000 gralats. This way people can't but VIP once, and get the items for 2 months. This way, people also can buy VIP at the lowest possible price (10k) for just the items instead of the VIP benefits, but people who also want the VIP benefits will pay more (slightly) for a longer time period without the hassle of monthly VIP. This basically would cost some players more (2.5k more) and some players less (up to 5k less), and you wouldn't need the hassle of trying to plan out getting 2 VIPs out of one subscription. This way people who actually want the VIP benefits can get them, while those who don't, can get both items for cheap (if they wait until the end of the time period). It basically events itself out, but improves the system, rather than being abused by people subscribing for 1 month and getting 2 out of it. From an individual player standpoint, it will either benefit, or hurt you, but this view is for the big picture, as it should be. Thoughts, or questions?

Yes, the VIP benefits need to be improved so players actually want the benefits. The first step can be making ammo not so ridiculously common that players have thousands and never need the extra ammo from VIP. Other possible benefits may/should be added/changed, but this idea's really just about improving the VIP system, not the VIP content.

Only problem I see is that I know people, including myself, that buy VIP based on the item. What if the first month is like amazing but then don't really know if the other one is? I'm not paying 20K for that.

Also, I'm not paying 20K for basically anything. Like VIP is poop enough at 7500.

I addressed people who buy VIP for the item - they can wait until the end of the time period and buy VIP for as cheap as 10k gralats. The VIP price decreases as time goes on, because no one's going to pay 20k for a week left of VIP.

But what if you want only the first one, and not the second one?

I'm picky af.

Like with your system everytime you buy the first one you kinda have to buy the other.

But like that's inven space.

sucks for you. As I said, it's about the big picture, not an individual case-by-case basis.

But but but.

No actually though, this isn't even just me.

I don't go to a flea shop to buy one specific thing and then buy it with something else I don't want because it was a package deal for more.

Js.

I mean...
If the seller sucks... I guess it's possible...


Like I said before, inventory space is a huge deal for people.

And VIP items arent even worth the sell of 40zc for 100 gralats.

I think our current system right now is okay but instead make VIP stuff untradebale to show seniority and all that fun jazz.

Then people can buy it with cash instead of just the ez 50zc in trades.

And then you know.

Add something else fancy to it.

This is like that infomercial that offers you 1 item for $14.99 and then says "BUT WAIT! Order now and get a 2nd one free!" They force the 2nd on you, you have no choice. You could decline it because they charge separate S&H but it still costs $14.99. This is VIP, not a shop. You get what is given to you and it's your decision to subscribe or not. You can't say you don't want the extra colors from VIP but want the item, you get all or nothing.

It lasts 2 months for 20k so basically it would be raised from 7.5k to 10k a month, but also allows you to pay less as time decreases so you can end up paying 10k for 2 VIPs that would normally cost 15k. Plus we should make the benefits better, like make ammo more limited so that extra ammo actually does help.

Or you know.

Just give us useful items.

And expand the color library.

Since like our colors are still like all sextary at best.


I won't be happy until I make a solid black with 1 hue of pink.

How about... Nah. Like what skt said.. What if the people are picky? Plus we didnt even have feb vip item? Idk. I forgot. Also some people already have like millions of ammo (no sarcasm) i got 2 M. Most people who buy the vip is because either they want to sell the item for profit or they just want the color library stuff.


And.. Even i wont pay 7.5k rn for a vip subscription. Basically useless for me. Unless you like making your pixelated character sxc, you'd buy vip every month anyways

Atleast make a sale offer on vip if we're doing Pig's idea for vip. Like buy the 2-month vip for 15k or buy 1 month vip for 9k

Or buy 2 month for 10k. I don't see the big problem with that if you want 1 month for 9k. Ammo would be fixed as I said, and VIP shouldn't be tradeable and wouldn't be if this was used. iZone revolves too much about profitting, rather than getting an item because you actually want it.

VIP should come with 2-4 hats and unlimited ammo. I also think players should submit hats and weapons. Also should come with a little gani like a special chair or dance idk

Lol. Honestly people complain so much about iZone's VIP while classic gives a morph every month, and iEra does VIP 4 times a year (maybe even 3). VIP does need changed (hence my idea) but it's far better than the other servers.
