Approved GW Premium Membership

[Crystal]

Following on from https://gwforums.com/threads/gwf-the-ocho-meta-game.1098/post-65027

Do we want to pursue premium memberships? What would we offer? What pricing? Multiple layers at the same price to pick a name colour? What else?

 

[Christina]

I would love to do this. A badge and/or color name. I could see doing $5 a month? I would like to keep this place around and if you want the stuff you like to stick around you have to put a little money into it.

 

[Crystal]

$5 would be fine, definitely. If that's what everyone is comfortable with.

 

[Christina]

Yeah I'm not looking for anything that would give me fancy special abilities or nothing. Just a way to support if somebody wants. Leaving it open for people to do 1 time donations or nothing at all and we keep a good thing going.

 

[Tubby23]

$5 will be about $8-$8.50 to me depending on exchange. I would be fine with that

 

[Jon]

I would have no issues supporting this place while I could. Simple aesthetics would more than suffice and there shouldn't be anything superpowered for it. It's a way for us to thank you for what you've done to give us all back a piece of our past that meant a lot to us.

That said, not all of us have Vash's pull to get cool name colors, so I'll pay to get that.

Don’t feel bad, Vash is just setting himself up to be another guinea pig.

 

[Christina]

Maybe instead of calling it premium which could imply you are getting something extra or special, calling it Sponsor Membership. Comes with sponsor tag thing and a name color of some kind to show you off you are helping keep the lights on and help with improvements.

 

[Crystal]

Yeah, Premium is a bit of a reflex from the old days, lol.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I am very down for this. Once I saw Vash get his name, I tried to consider the best appropriate amount of time to pass before I asked for one too lmao. Totally down to be on a monthly subscription here.

 

[Jon]

I think Vash needs to pay double, though.

Would it work if he paid for mine and his?

 

[Jon]

Sure! Double for his AND yours!

People hated on Kobe for shooting his shot too

I'm totally cool with giving up my rad purple name until the implementation of the subscription gimmick.

Gotta keep the haters at bay.

You drink your haterade and love it! We all know that's what you run on!

That and skittles.

 

[VashTheStampede]

That and skittles.

Preferably skittles that have been sitting in a hot car and gotten all warm and soft. I call them Car Skittles.

...what?

 

[Crystal]

So what I've gathered so far is everyone is ready to pay $50 a month and Vash will be charged an additional 25/month fee for the purple name. Did I get that right?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh god I need to go cancel a few streaming services real quick

It's actually every person that signs up is an additional $25 fee for Vash.

Vash will be paying your rent next month also.

 

[VashTheStampede]

My face is also purple because these fees are choking me

Everyone loves a hot pink

 

[Smacktard]

Purple doesn't do anything for my colorblindness. Vash's name looks as lame as it ever did to me

Hot pink sounds good, I can dig it

Now you've got me intrigued if there's a way for me to make a theme that looks good for colorblind people...or a couple of them for different types of colourblindness. Hmm...

Sponsorship tier comes with the ability to suggest new names for me.

This ability already exists for free, but so does everything else.

All we gotta do is repackage the ability as something else. Simple. Video games have been doing it for years.

Maybe not the best place to drop back in after 6 weeks or so…
