Imperial Forum → Ideas → More stuff to the VIP'ers
There should really be some more stuff for the VIPers. Many off us have donated to IC for many years. Think it's time we get some more cool things.
Like custom Forum tags for people who have donated a X amount. Or a X amount times.
The reason for me to make this thread atm is to help devs. Seeing as Ive heard they want to add more things to the VIP'ers.
the ability to colour code certain families to make it easier than checking systems for them?
Maybe some changes to the map aswell. Would love to get those pictures away from the big map swell. And only have a small dot. Like this .(xx.yy)
if i recall correctly there used to be a little VIP icon for donators. i wonder what happened to that. i agree though, having some kind of "recognition" for donators would be a good thing
i like the map idea but i wonder if this could be a good thing to give to everybody. if there were less pictures it would improve load time throughout the game.
that's part of the challenge for designing rewards. if it's a clear benefit to the game experience, then withholding it from the general non-donating playerbase seems a little unfair. but, i think there are things like forum tags that don't offer an advantage over other players but are still a cool "bonus" to have.
i'll start seeing what happened to the VIP icon. maybe a step farther than that can be to allow players to have an extra forum tag that they can customize if they have donated a certain number of times
good thread! let's get some VIP ideas rollin
If you buy a VIP regularly for 1 year...then you get access to the Moderator nudie photo collection.
Kidding...you have to be a Mod to see those. 
Seriously...VIPS are important. They should get something more than just the ability to make yama's. Possibly VIP's get an extra 20pts for custom race creation? Or maybe get an additional "role" choice for their race. Extra 10% income, or 10% attack, or 10% magic, depending on which "role" they select?
Arby. You are in the wrong here. If you give VIPs a benefit ingame like extra 10% income.. It wont be a donate system anymore. And it would deffently be unfair to the ones who cant spend money on this game. VIPs should only get cool things that can not benefit ingame rounds.
And for the MAP idea, that was more a general Idea. Just put it in the thread here seeing as I diddent want to make a new thread. I'm abig fan of no pictures to help the server load.
That's why I suggested only 10% or 20 points. That's not significant enough to completely change a race or round to be super awesome, but it's a small boost in addition to a a normal player.
I like where Arby is coming from, but maybe in the form of extra galaxies? I dunno what happened to Draco but maybe something like that again. I agree we have to keep it fair but I think if we think creatively we can come up with some interesting benefits that are more than just forum related.
arby is suggesting something that many games like WoW and Lotro etc have already implemented so it's not unreasonable. vip/donors are given an edge in the game and higher individual stats in just about all games that are termed as free play but allow extra benefits to vip accounts. it's not a bad idea and would bring more money into the game. whether more money into the game would actually change the current condition of things is another story however 
Yes. For a VIP only galaxies that could be nice. Would be cool to se new races with more power there
@dp: That's a valid point, but I think the rationale here isn't that more money = reinvestment into the game. Rather, more VIP benefits will keep the longstanding loyal VIPs happy and interested.
Hmm...if we had dev overlook and make sure Draco was up to date, I'm sure it could be opened for VIP only like before. Would have a VIP only setup based on popular vote of the players involved?
agreed. just stating another opinion 
VIP's would have the ability to use Income Control Centers instead of Tax Offices! But also, would be sweet if VIP's would be allowed to start a custom galaxy of their own. I miss those days.
Also, VIPs should be 10% more likely to be right in the politics forum!

Draco is nice and all, but these days you can play pw and mw, and possibly orion
would you really pay for a vip for a 4th galaxy?
draco was there so you could play 2 galaxies at once, everyone has that featre now.
the greatest national anthem of all time- that of the USSR- plays when you click on a vip's empire or race link
With so few active players. There should only be 1 main galaxy. PW should be shut down. And maybe have a HC galaxy like SD 1 man. Then have the VIP playground Draco.
For a Main galaxy. Make it 6-8man fams, full DRAFT. Lets get some good competition going.
not a lot of incentive to buy vip when it only takes one vip to post yamas and unexplored yamas and there is a cap for drafts.
extra stuff seems highly logical.
i'm not too sure we should be promoting VIP's that much anyway, if stefan isnt investing in advertisement or whatever
I'm not sure how much it would be to implement, and there are a few tools that do a good job of it already.
But, in the case of the max ob function, is it possible to give VIPs the option to preview costs?
Ie, they enter in how much they want to OB, and the game goes
"This will cost Blah, are you sure you wish to continue?"
Get rid of VIP and all the ingame features it provides like system-lists
