Donor Servers?

[Zergling50]

While i completely understand that servers are expensive, i have an idea that might help both finances and extreme server unavailability due to large amount of people wanting to play. I myself am not a donor, but am suggesting this because i think it is beneficial, not because it is something i want for myself. Perhaps you could have servers that only donors of a specific degree could get on. These servers could be more available and encourage people to pay. Money could be used to expand servers or fund servers already in existance. This could also free up some non donor servers as donors move to donor servers. This is just an idea i had, if there are any implications you see that i didnt notice i apoligize, and I do not mean to be disrespectful in any way if for some reason one of you take it that way. What are your ideas on this?

My Idea is: IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED COUNTLESS TIMES BEFORE and the answer is always no. If you want to encourage people to pay, why don't you donate?

There are things more important.
e.g Australia Servers

Sorry for this, as i said i meant no disrespect and i am sorry that you feel the need to speak so harshly. I just had an idea and did not see it on other posts so i decided to post it. A simple letting me know would work wonders. That said, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for at least reading my post.

This idea has been taken into consideration. It could be implemented in the future.

Cool, thanks. Good to know. I love the people behind this because of their active involvement in all of this, and give a great shout out to all of those involved. It's nice to have people that care about the community.

I think a better idea would be the opposite of your suggestion. Instead of making a server where only donors can play, make 1-2 servers that donors can't kick people off. They can still play on those servers, they just can't kick people out of it. I'm not suggesting this for all servers, maybe 1 24T server and 1 48T server for each region. You also wouldn't have to make new servers, you could just put this on an already active server.

Thats a good suggestion HalfSquirrel, One just needs to worry about donor privelages. As much as it may annoy some people, donors do have the right to do this, and I am planning on donating soon. However if the others approve I think this idea has potential.

The first time I saw a topic like this, it was made by a donor himself. I didn't notice until after my 2nd reply, but it's good to know donors don't want to be mean, they just want to play

I think what squirrel said is a perfect idea, it can take people 30mins to get into a server sometime and getting kicked by a donor annoys the player
