In-map advertisements

Post by Pathos »

Map makers, when you make maps, what do you think a small portion of map making process dedicated to supporting the community you're active in and the game you play often? I wouldn't know what the perfect solution would be, but I'm sure there will be plenty of creativity, but I guess the most basic one would be for donations.

maybe in some maps you can jsut link them to the forum where everything they need is already put the ddnet logo and say visit us the server chat isnt that obvious and people ignore it most of the time

Well, I was thinking more about advertising events that's not covered in the DDNet community. It can be advertising for donations to the DDNet funds.

I mean its easier to get people to have ranks like on minecraft servers

Skin Rank 5$/month and have your personal skin in the client

Premium 10$/month Have your own skin and a server

And shit like that would give people some incentive to donate to the server

having a private server and a personal skin isnt really p2w

i mean p2w would be the last thing i would want for this game

getting ideas like that would help the servers a lot to pay for less popular servers

Yeah, things like that would be the best solution. No-Ads plz.

I personally believe in good business-processing units. Because have experience of running servers without any cost for myself. I have dedicated server with a cost for 60 euro/month without a single ad-unit and that covers by 1-2% ppl, who pays for a profile "beauty". Without "plz donate" topics at all.

But we are girls mostly, so we just like beautiful things. Even virtually. :)
Maybe with ddnet it will work not that good.

We can do different editions, basic is free but without hammer. Then it goes up all the way to the ultimate editon with all weapons enabled for 10€/month. Special booster packs with time-limited hookbot can be purchased as well.. lel
No srsly, it might be an option to do this with not gameplay-related stuff like skins. But I'm TOTALLY against this suggestion. Advertisment or micro transactions of any kind are dumb and should not be part of ddnet or teeworlds. deen is 100-percent right about this and I'm sure there will be possibilites to keep the servers alive without such actions.
Now to the other suggestion, advertising the donation possiblity within maps. Well yea, I'm not even against this, but I highly doubt, that it will change something. As written, just another reason to play in entites. Furthermore I'm pretty sure, that the people willing to donate to ddnet are already aware of this forum and also the possiblities presented here.
So yeah, financial sitzuation is bad right now. But it always was and I'm sure that there will be solution for this without advertisement/transaction models :)
