Title: Forum profile pictures
Post by: Austin on January 05, 2014, 03:58:02 pm
We have retracted from the idea of donators only getting forum pictures, so all of you that have no profile picture you can now have one again :)

-On another note, if any of you have ideas towards donator benefits, I don't think it would hurt to tell us since we really do need some. James explains why in another post of his but everyone if you have an idea towards a benefit that does not affect game play, be our guests to express yourself here.

1) Why not allow some special donator only section on forums where admins can post future updates before they release them to the rest of community.
2) Or how about everyone is available an avatar of their choice, but only donators get to have their avatar coloured, and non-donators would have theirs grayed out.
3) Maybe no signatures allowed for non-donators?
4) How about only donators get "forever" log in option, so if you are non-donator you have to log in every time you visit
5) Lastly, make donators be able to use coloured text, change font, size etc... also pictures and videos in their posts, while non-donators are only restricted to normal font etc...

I actually liked the idea of donators+ getting avatar pictures. How in any way does it give anyone an advantage? First of all, its not ingame. No ingame or out of game advantages are included. Anything you make donator only will always frustrate non donators because they can't do it. I think you should make it donator only again.

Increased sig and avatar sizes since my post was deleted from the other donator thread :l.

The current signature size rule is 750x150. The 150 is too small in my opinion, perhaps increase it to 250 or 300 for donators. As for avatars, maybe allow avatars that are 1/2 bigger for donators.

It might not be an advantage but it's something that is generally free on just about EVERY forum of all kinds. Avatars are a persons identity.

Maybe for some other donator stuff. An extended ::players command where it shows every player online after 30 players. Free use of Make over mage, haircuts, changing clothes?

This isn't every other forum. Avatar's aren't anyone's identity. They are an extra feature on forums where you put a random funny picture or gif that makes people laugh. Signature would be more of a person's identity more than anything.

i like n0vas idea alot. The idea of free make-over mage sounds appealing to me.

please dont remove the profile pics from non-donators. It's a persons identity, judt as n0va said.

Nothing sets this forum apart from any other other than the people in it and what it represents which is a runescape private server. We're one of many. A quick google of avatar. "In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character. I'm assuming you like Halo? I like Invader Zim, Gold (who posted on here) has an avatar of gold, Brothership loves quests, see the pattern? Signatures are similar but not necessarily the same. They could be our name, a meme, a gfx signature, but how often do you see a person having an signature of themself as opposed to an avatar?

I prefer having something that represents me in my signature. Just because its an "avatar" doesn't mean its definition is meant to be taken straight out of the dictionary. My avatar is halo because it was one of the things i photoshopped

I didn't need to look up avatar to know what it means. It's essentially a profile picture which is why James called it a custom profile picture. An avatar might have many meanings to other people but that's the general definition of one. Since this won't go anywhere, just continue to live in your own world where you're always right.

I am not living in a world where I am always right. Making avatars donator only is one of the few things this server can offer that won't give the user an ingame advantage. Feel free to list more options that wouldn't lead to people only donating just because they want a full set of rune armor.

Donate for a higher genie percentage. Current rate for a genie is 50% (Chicken is the other 50% for those who are mathematically declined).

A donation is a gift with out expectations. Why should they give out all kinds of stuff to get people to donate? Isn't the point of a donation to help an organization you like continue on working? If all you can say is, they give you a t-shirt or some small trinket then you can look right at your donor rank on the forum. ;)

I find it quite sad most people donate only to further their self and not just donate to help a cause they believe in. Also enjoy the 99.999999999% up time this month. Oh wait is that even possible in a language that isn't Erlang. ;)

To add onto the suggestions I posted on the first page, maybe a toggle death spawn? The quest recruitment drive allows a person to set their death point to white knight castle but chances are, that might not be released for awhile. So, possibly allowing death spawns to any of the main cities, varrock, fally, lumbridge, and ardougne? Allows for quicker banking.

If you're too lazy to check the first page, these are my other suggestions

Forum: Increased sig and avatar sizes. The current signature size rule is 750x150. The 150 is too small in my opinion, perhaps increase it to 250 or 300 for donators. As for avatars, maybe allow avatars that are 1/2 bigger for donators.

Ingame: An extended ::players command where it shows every player online after 30 players. Free use of Make over mage, haircuts, changing clothes?

This is helps us find autoclickers and bots so this will not be an option lol.

It'll only be donors you'll have to worry about abusing it, and if someone's dumb enough to donate money to a server which they plan to then bot and be eventually banned on then...

And Jmood made an excellent point, you're supposed to donate to things you want to see furthered, not because you'll be rewarded - as it is people are essentially buying privileges. I think donors will donate regardless of perks, because people want to play on a well made and maintained server.
