First off, I believe that Admins shouldn't receive free VIP, as there are as said above, plenty of admins that apply just for VIP, and don't actually try to contribute to keeping the servers up and running.
Secondly, lately I have thought of a few ideas for VIP/Store on the servers, and have thought about the possibility of milestones. Basically the way this would work is that once a player reaches a specific playtime, either overall, on specific teams, or both, they would unlock an item in the store, get X amount of credits, or even at a very high playtime to show their dedication, a small VIP reward (a month or less). To check the milestones you would do !milestone or something like that and then it would show rewards up until around 100k PT, the rewards would go something similar to this.
10,000 PT = 1,000 credits
20,000 PT = 5,000 credits
30,000 PT = Some item in the store eg. Banana Joe Skin
50,000 PT = Month or less of VIP
And so on.
And there could be other rewards in between that, eg at 25k PT, 40k PT, 5k PT, etc.
Another idea would be the !jackpot plugin, a few players from other communities have suggested this idea to me, and I'm sure you know how it works, you can do !jackpot X amount of credits and it would give you a chance to win them, based on how many credits you put in/how many credits are already in the jackpot, eg if someone did !jackpot 90 and you did !jackpot 10, you would have a 10% chance of winning 90 credits + your credits back.
Another problem is, after a while you have nothing to put credits into, so this could be fixed with either, adding more items to the store regularly, or buying VIP with a high amount of credits, lets say around 20,000 = 1 month. OR you could buy !ws separately for the same duration for around half of that, as that is one of the main reasons people buy VIP.
Let me know what you think of some of these ideas as well.
Also lmao ^
