To keep with the theme and to make my life easier, I have created a new store. You can find it here: http://store.craftymynes.com/category/597454
The new store is based on BuyCraft, this gives me better stats, allows me to add, modify, delete and download payments to my own database. Along with all these improvements, it's also fully automated, I no longer have to check for expired VIP+'s every day.

I saw it already. It's kinda weird, Im not used to it yet lol
Tell me what's wrong and I can change it :D
I vote for pink names! :P
A new kind of rank would be cool.
Maybe something less expensive than VIP but with less benefits, call it MiniVIP or something.

Problem with that is we are already out of colours to use on ranks.
So any rank would have to share colours.
VIP = Dark green
you could like
make it a lighter vip green
Make the store color lighter or the In game color? Also, I know the icons are messed up, I reused the serverkart ones, and to get them to look right I had to deform them.
i was talking about the hypothetical MiniVIP
MiniVIP?

Hmm, it looks like I might be blind, totally missed that. I don't really have a color for any more ranks, I've used up all the ones that look good. What things might miniVIP get? What color would I make them.
I'm not blind, I just forgot that the forum scrolls down to the most recent post.
I only saw:
@argonFiles VIP = Dark green

possibly limited access to the vip lounge or something? or (insert number here) warps per day, etc, not sure
The system doesn't handle daily things that well, it requires an external system to deal with resetting their scores. Also, setting them to the same color as the rest of the VIP's kinda nullifies the exclusivity of VIP. It might be a better idea to focus on one time things you can buy rather then a rank thats lower then the lowest rank.
@CraftyMyner you need to change the player heads so they match the player skins. They are just normal steve heads.
In the store or on the forum? I know that the store is messed up, Im waiting for BuyCraft to get back to me on the heads.
I think it's the store(when you first get on the page)
You mean the top donor picture?
Yes sir.
I got to wait for buycraft to get back to me on that.
Speaking of the store, I just realized that you couldn't access the store link unless you were logged in, however, that is now solved.
Oh good because sometimes I don't like to login to look around the store.
Well the buycraft 404 page looks the same as my 404 page, so I thought it was buycrafts fault, but then I realized that I couldn't connect even though I have connected many of times. The link was still pointing to my page, but it didn't exist.
Lol rip
Hey Crafty,
First off just want to say I enjoy your server. This is the first server I have played on and hopefully the last. I understand that your store is for donations to insure the integrity of the server. I also understand that you have priced the Vip packs to suit the servers needs and to try and achieve the necessary monthly goals. However if the information below is accurate maybe you could make some adjustments. I realize I am not Vip or Vip+ but I plan to be as soon as the new Crafty crate comes out.
If I purchase Vip for $15 it lasts as long as I'm on the server and I receive the following?
Access to the VIP Lounge
Directional Teleports
VIP villager traders
Access to a guardian grinder
The VIP Crafting Guild
Free TPA (won't cost any votes)
The first time I Purchase vip+ for $25 I receive the following for a month, afterwards I will revert back to having regular vip as long as I'm on the server.
Aqua name
Particle effects
A CraftyCrate - contains random goodies and resources!

However my issue is when I purchase Vip+ a second time for $25. If the above info is true. I am now just receiving the following

I'm just curious if we could have a cheaper Vip+ renewal fee / upgrade fee. For instance I could of purchased the Vip+ for $25. Instead I decided to purchase vip for $15. I wait a week or so and decide I want to upgrade to Vip+. instead of $25 maybe for $15 I could upgrade to Vip+. Once my month is over I could renew my Vip+ for $15.
Sounds logical to me. And I agree to Eberk's suggestion. Cause I was VIP+ but Im thinking of just staying as VIP, practically, because the value of my next VIP+ is not the same as my first VIP+. But with this I, without second thought, could just purchase my suceeding VIP+ easily.
this would require a complete re-design of the VIP+ system. It would have to be smart enough to allow players to renew halfway into their vip+ as well as player who have expired. Whats to stop a normal VIP for buing VIP+ at a lesser rate. The whole Point of VIP+ is that it's a monthly contribution, used to support the server. I could make it so that if you renew within x amount of days of expiring, it would be a lesser rate, but if you wait too long, you will have to pay the full price.
Maybe a miniVIP could have less unlimited privileges but have several crafty coins instead so that limited privileges could be bought with them. Say $10 instead of $15 and a slot machine to pay for TP's

How about separating the two ranked benefits and flip-flopping the price tier?
Suggestion:
1. VIP+ monthly at $10 with all current benefits. No permanent access to VIP. Once expired, you're a normie again.
2. VIP is permanent access to the lounge, so it would make sense to raise the price - maybe like $35.
This would increase spending to $45 initial to receive both benefits and then $10 monthly thereafter, which accomplishes the idea of paying less for renewing VIP+ rank. Also, the price rank may have more casual (or frugal) players to opt to pay a smaller amount to see what VIP lounge is all about before paying for permanent access.
You may need to rename the ranks, but given the diminishing returns from VIP to VIP+, I get what EBerk91 is saying.
25 for vip+ lasts for 1 month, expires to vip, 15 to upgrade from vip to vip+, vip+ gets vip Lounge, 15 for vip, vip is perma, 50 gets you pets and 4 months of vip+, idk
I think VIP+ should be worth more then VIP
