Hi, Spoke to Solifer, and he feels this is a good idea as well. This is my suggestion:
So, here goes. We all know that a certain amount of people donate. This is down to rescources, jobs etc, so I know some have to watch their outgoings, which is perfectly fine. So, this is the reason why paying for a server for 6 months etc is a bit deflating for the odd few that pay regulary.
So, my idea is this.
We still donate etc as normal, but there is a list of who has dontated etc. Then, once a month we go for a server choice of one of those donors.
So, for example, say Bjorne is one of the donators (along with 5 or so others). For that month, Bjorne picks the game for the server. So, he may pick a Chivalery server.
We get it via Fragnet etc, mabe use Procon to set it up (if that is the tool to use etc), and that is the server we have for that month. If no-one plays it etc, no big deal. We have that on BF4 already. Then, at the end of the month, it expires, simple as that.
Then, after a week or so, we look at the list of donors again, and pick the next name. This time it could be Wookie, and he wanted a Sniper Elite server (if they do them), and we set it up etc.
I feel that this may be a good thing, as many of us use Steam etc, and play many other games than just BF4. I still play BF3, as well as many others.
Having a BF4 server only dies a death thru the week, and then on a Friday, if IF we get the players, it starts up.
Posting a basic list of games etc below
