We've all always considered at some point, to donate some money to our favorite TF2 community.
However, when some took a look at their available options for donating, they were dissatisfied.
At the moment, if you wish to receive any of the VIP perks on Wonderland.tf's servers, you may either do it, by donating 6€ per month or by permanently donating 40€.
The 6€ option (VIP), is often not satisfying, as you only receive it for an objectively short amount of time. Especially if you consider the fact that most donors of any videogame community, are active members in that community.
The 40€ option (VIP+), is in most cases not affordable. Looking at how you only earn 6 different features, compared to VIP, 2 of which are specific to 1 game mode (Jailbreak) and 2 others hardly make a difference (RTD, Trails; most don't even notice).
Don't get me wrong, VIP features are meant to be a reward for donating, people spammed this at me when I made a "similar" suggestion, but what happens to those who want to permanently access some of the VIP features, and simultaneously want to support the community without having to donate 40€?
They're sadly left with no choice.
What do I suggest?
The Wonderland staff team should create a new rank, which will replace VIP+, perhaps an MVP.
Whoever owned VIP+ before the change, will automatically earn MVP
The new VIP+ will cost 18€ or 20€, will give permanent access to all the VIP features, and MAYBE 2 of the VIP+ features (which will be decided by the donor individually, or by the team as a whole. I'd suggest no ads and the reserved slot).
It is of my belief, that through the creation of this rank, there would be a donate option, that would balance satisfaction and affordability. That way, more users would be motivated to donate.
