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:
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,

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)
