Changes to VIP Packages - Bot Invex - 16-11-2019
We are making some changes to the VIP packages.
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)
- server1.invex.gg (old web server) which will shortly be retired once contract expires ($20 pm)
- gameME services (currently not used)
- 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)
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.
Thank you,
Invex Gaming Staff Team

Guess I'll buy perm VIP now then

Giving actual feedback, limited time only cosmetics like hats and nametags might work. For example, a new stylish hat is available only during this december, purchaceable with credits. So players who don't have them and want that hat can donate a dollar or two for credits.
Maybe you could do some kind of bonus package where buying a certain amount of vip on one server, earns you a trial vip on another.
In game perks could be something like 50k credits gives all alive teammates 50 bonus health.
Or 10k credits gives all alive t's a grenade. You could put some behind a VIP only wall and give them cooldowns of 3hour to 12hours or something.
Other perks could maybe be increased velocity when bhopping on special days, purchasable utility with credits maybe once a round

Ngl kinda like the idea of having maybe a player skin or something available for a limited time for certain users, Maybe in the form of having a package or Gaining it through WOTM or ROTM. Think this seems cool

More stuff, increased jetpack fuel, (faster credit gain for VIP (for all the new cosmetics))
RE: Changes to VIP Packages - Leevie - 16-11-2019
-1 to increased jetpack fuel, jetpack is already op the way it is IMO
RE: Changes to VIP Packages - Craziboy_1 - 16-11-2019
I'd also like to point out limited availability cosmetics should now mess with the hitboxes at all. If someone paid for the small cute cat ears hat, no one would be upset but if the CT Sonic skin was limited availability it would be pay to win content. Plz avoid.

Some things that could be cool but not really give a big advantage -
Purchasable custom name tags
Credit gifting unlocked for the person that bought it or for X amount of time for the server
Start with a decoy as a T
Skip to position 1 in guard queue this could be kinda op so potentially consumable or for a limited time idk
Custom starting weapons as CT
5x credits for the server for an hour or something
Buy a player model eg you send $30 with links to a few models and the most suitable such as hitboxes and size gets added

This would be a pretty neat VIP perk so you wouldn't have to mess about in the armory if you didn't want the standard AK
