Rimitto please go read the post from the staff on the front page about keeping political commentary out of these forums. We don't need that here

Sir, the thread is about economics, please stop inserting your societal views into the topic by asserting they're political. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT:
going to extend this olive branch because some people here seem braindead.
more money in pocket -> more money on hobbies

Bot reply pre-edit. The thread isn't about economic policy. It's about P99 and server donations to motivate a merge and new server. Again, your bot doesn't absorb context well.

But anyway, please go use it in another thread. Back on topic, I do wonder what the number would be to make the devs blink and go oh damn I'm going to get on this now lol.

I would support a new progression server with support where you’re limited to a single account that’s $$, possibly with reoccurring $.

I don’t think any amount would. Money is isn’t the bottleneck here.

"Back on topic" (LITERALLY THE MOST OFFTOPIC) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
what's the topic? (How much would you donate for a new green?) ROFL
It's weird how I offer a roundabout solution, and you offer NOTHING.
I'm sad this forum doesn't have the pointing and laughing emote like many websites do these days, because I would've used the hell outta it by now.

Why not just start a gofundme and bilk half the money like all the scammers do these days if you really cared about server funds. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

@JimJam, if money isn't the bottleneck then what is? Lazyness?
You probably don't know the answer, and I'm betting nobody other than the server staff do. -shrug-

Rimitto this is not RNF please take that type of interaction to the appropriate forum

Yeah it's not the bottleneck, but I wonder if a certain aggregate amount of donation would make them sit up and take notice lol

Turning a hobby/passion project into a job often makes someone begin to hate both the hobby and the job.

Given the degree of entitlement already displayed around here, I cannot begin to imagine how much entitlement there would be after a huge amount of aggregate donations conditioned on a new server.

Yup, and there have been psychological studies proving it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjustification_effect

The subjects were given a break in the middle of each session and were being observed while doing whatever they wanted.

The results showed that the experimental group spent significantly more time than the control group playing the puzzle during their break time on day 2 when they were paid but significantly less on day 3 when they were not paid. This was interpreted as evidence that the extrinsic monetary reward significantly reduced their intrinsic motivation to engage in the task.[2]
