I really want diamond rank, but i cant use my 97$ since my parents think its a waste of money, really 75$ for 5 perks? Please make iron, and gold lifetime and add upgrades to the next rank. At least make diamond rank 50$. Please Reconciter!

Do you have any suggestions for new perks? Donations are the only way MCSG makes money, and servers are quite expensive. Part of the reason that Iron and Gold are not Lifetime is because once a lot of people buy a rank, then they'll never donate again, and MCSG might eventually (emphasis on might) run lower on donations.

Just get gold rank. Gold looks the best, has 3 votes and can kick people! It is the best all-around package for only $25, and I might even mention it lasts 3 months! I believe gold has a better deal than any rank and the perks are good for the money.

Perhaps for Platinum ranks and above you can /nick but cant nickname yourself if others are using the name

Millions play on the server so the server should have at least 340,000,000$ i dont see it getting bankrupt if that happens

I highly doubt mcsg has made a million, and there's no way its made 340 million.

A lot of the people that logged onto MCSG only played a few times, and then never came back. And it was only what, 4-5 million? Somewhere around there. I don't think we've hit 5 million yet, but I'm not sure. And many people don't donate - in fact, most don't. Where are you getting your number from? And server hosts often cost around 10$ USD for a single Gigabyte of RAM per month, or in other words roughly 24 slots, which is the size of the average MCSG server. (I checked a few months ago, so it might actually be 2 GBs, or 1.5.) There's hundreds of servers. 100 servers = 1,000-2,000 per month. There's more than 100 servers in US alone. They also probably purchase high-end DDoS and lag protection, which could up the prices a lot, easily up to 3,000$ for 100 servers.*




*These calculations were done based off of my personal experience researching server hosts in general, and CubedHost in particular, as I've wanted to rent a server from them for around 1.5 years but never got around to it. MCSG also could possibly get cheaper deals because of the bulk amounts of business that they give the hosts.

I think the prices are completely UNFAIR, but once MCTF2 is released it will be a bargain.
