If possible lower beacon sounds because they are really loud at times and the sound very annoying yes. Especially when its always freezebomb and the sound is constantly played at high volume yes. No headache today 8)
Okay so besides the Month VIP, and a awesome badge to flex on the forums, maybe we could have 2 new Added player models which are exclusive to ONLY winners of either one. One new CT model which is exclusive only for players which have won a WOTM(Warden of the month) and only all existing winners get to use it. Same goes for ROTM (Rebel of the month) but for T. I think if we got two good player models we all agree on as a community and have a poll for which we would like to have in game.
As for the work side of things only things need to be done is add player models, make a new flag for WOTM and ROTM in-order to lock it and add all existing players with the reward.
Anyway if you would like to suggest any player models for either CT/WOTM or T/ROTM please link below,
and yes im using the same idea i did for the VIP feature i asked for but went into detail about the WOTM and ROTM perks
As Invex has grown, adapted and changed we've learnt how our economy behaves and how our donation trends change over time. Ideally, we'd hit close to 100% of our monthly goal every month which means the servers would be self-sustaining. This doesn't always happen and although some months might reach 3-4x the donation goals, other months stay close to 0. We would like a more stable and steady stream of donations to help fund servers if possible.
As a reminder, the current donation goal is carefully calculated from our operating costs.
At the time of this post, the goal is $196 per month.
This is roughly the breakdown:
CSGO/Web server box ($184 pm)
invexgaming.com domain ($1.83 pm)
invexgaming.com.au ($2.01 pm)
invex.gg domain ($8.42 pm)
The current costs do not include:
server1.invex.gg (old web server) which will shortly be retired once contract expires ($20 pm)
gameME services (currently not used)
Changes that are being considered:
Package 5 and Package 6 are going to be retired. We will no longer offer Permanent VIP in the future. This will likely never return. It may still be offered as a prize in very rare cases etc. Until this change is made the $200 perm VIP upgrade is still in place. For people that already have these packages, your perms will remain. In particular, people with package 6 will continue to receive VIP on any server we release, forever so don't worry.
New longer term packages will arrive that offer 6 months or 1 year of VIP for less than the monthly cost. They may include an unlocked store for the duration of the VIP package.
Prices will be reviewed for package 1 and package 2, the two most popular packages.
Package 3 and package 4 are almost never purchased and will be removed.
Consumable/fun one-time packages may be introduced as a way to contribute when you already have everything else (i.e. Discord perks, in-server unique perks)
These changes are set to be made in early December before VIP sales for XMAS.
Please use this thread to discuss VIP and contributing to Invex in general.
We would like to know what your opinions are, there are people that believe Invex is too donation/money focused and we don't want that to be the general consensus but at the same time we would still like to hit the donation goal every month if possible.
