A /ad overhaul

[strong tulip]

Here's my idea with /ad:

• Separate Ranks and Ads
• Ranks no longer give any ad perks, but they do last forever once purchased
• A player can "Top-Up" their ads with credits
• Everyone gets a free 10 ads per month which compound over time. (Or if a player's ads are below 10, it gets set to 10 ads remaining)

That way, the people who want the ranks purely for cosmetic reasons can get the rank without needing to worry about the monthly payment and the owners who want more ads than what Patron currently gives can buy those extra ads.

what about ad color codes and stuff?

would that be with ranks, or would everyone have color codes in their ads

[torpid compass]

Good

[strong tulip]

I think either works tbh

For monotary reasons (and for the sake of my retinas), i would want the former

[whole canyon]

So like

In 10 months I would have 100 ads if I also have default ranks?

I like it

Makes it very fair

[strong tulip]

For the first idea, or you would not get any past 10. Depends which one is picked

[whole canyon]

So all ranks only have 10?

[strong tulip]

All ranks will be set to 10 ads every month if they have less than 10 ads. But you keep said rank forever

[whole canyon]

Hm

[strong tulip]

That is for the second one, the first one will just get you 10 ads every month

[whole canyon]

Bots gonna be going up

I like the first one though

Good idea

[sharp sundial]

Sell colored ads for twice the price of uncolored ones

[red coral]

Ranks no longer give any ad perks, but they do last forever once purchased
ummmmmmmmm no this is not a good idea 😭

that's kinda the reason why ranks are monthly in the first place

[strong tulip]

But people buy the ranks primarily for the ads, given that they reset every month. The ranks themselves don't hold much value over the ads they give, so moving the ads to their own monthly subscription would just be moving said value.

[amber warren]

it would stop people who want the funny non-gray chat from buying useless ads

(im in that exact senario)

[gaunt rivet]

Then how would you compensate those who did buy ranks, both permanent and monthlies?

Isn’t that like the big part of why the ads thing is complicated to change, because of how to compensate those players?

[amber warren]

well, for the month based ones, you could just let them keep their perks until the month was over

as for the perm ones, just let them keep it
