    Salted I have the veteran rank would you have the option to change the animal of the "golden sheep" because I know some people who care about their looks for example would you be able to change the sheep to something like a pig or a mushroom

    Also I think that the vip should get .5 of the non VIPs earned xp as a small reward for helping out and the non vip will still have 1.5x Xp

    yea thats what I already said 10000 times. the sheep just won't increase the amount of donations altough it sounds the most "fair". in fact there's no reason to buy vip when you know 1 person with that rank. It might be possible that even less people would consider to buy the rank because they already get the best part of it.

    The Mojang EULA will not permit simply giving XP boosts to one person because they bought VIP. There are several alternatives that meet the EULA terms without using XP bombs as they are now, and without giving XP to everyone on the server at one instant every time a bomb is used . There are actually a few options that allow an XP multiplier to be used in a way that the user of the bomb can potentially get the most benifits, but allow the entire server to participate if they choose increasing the value of the xp bomb for the person initiating it and simultaneously staying within the EULA. These options would reduce the amount of users who simply rely on others to share purchase perks. While allowing those who are very determined to piggy back on them to still do so with a little more effort

    I agree with the fact that this would break the EULA. however the sheep would also do that in some way. The owner stated that the server is willing to break the EULA because they need a higher income. the EULA is not enforced what means that it are actually guidelines for a "fair" server.

    Because there are free alt lists. Getting an alt through that is really easy, but you can't change the password or anything, so anyone who visits that site can go on that account. It can be used as a party member so the actual guy's account gets double XP. (If the guy is Vip ofc)

    first of all, your command is extremely selfish, wynncraft needs money so they can keep up the server. They have to add something extra to the ranks so people keep donating. if they do nothing like you want you probebly won't be able to get lvl 100 at all because the server has no money. If a vip is befor you at lvl 100 that means he/she also did a lot of quests and grinded a lot. Just because you want to be the first one to get something the whole server shouldn't be changed!

    It seems that the replies on this thread are very mixed

    -Some VIPs are happy just to have the double XP back

    -Others argue that it would be unfair and become p2w

    -Most have agreed that the gold sheep is the best option, however, some people have pointed out that it will bring less revenue to Wynncraft, as the gold sheep will have VIPs be constantly relied and nagged on by non-VIPs, with the possibility of blackmail(?)



    I, myself, am a bit mixed on this decision, as on one side, I am a bit glad that VIP/VIP+ will be more useful, but, if you've seen the previous pages of this thread, this also makes people upset, and this concerns me on what the effect of bringing double XP will do to our community.

    I do hope the admins come up with a solution that will please both sides, with the low revenue Wynn has been getting lately, desperate times call for desperate measures.

    You don't lose anything if someone else gets double XP in a PVE(!!!) environment!
    Also, this thread is not about what you want into the game like attacking pets, it is about keeping the server alive and sponsoring the costs that go into the server..
    Also it is very selfish to say that YOU want attacking pets in the game and don't give anything to people who support the server, while attacking pets aren't even in the poll, people don't get stronger by this, they just level faster which doesn't harm you at all...

    they solution should also be a mix of those thing. vips should get an advantage overall, but non-vips should have a small limited acces to that too so they want to buy vip. not so they can abuse it and have no reason at all to buy the rank

    Staff, if double xp for VIPs is what it takes to finance the server I'm all for it. This is coming from a non-VIP.

    If remember correctly, when VIP's had double XP before, they're was hardly any people upset about it... I don't believe many people would leave if we got double XP again without the sheep, the non VIP's are seeing one option, and that's an option for themselves to get double XP without having to pay a dime.

    Due to various points made in this thread, I have decided to change my vote. At first I happily voted sheep as it would enable me to enjoy my own personal XP bomb along with my friends; however, there lies part of the problem. In addition to the Sheeps causing VIPs to be spammed and pestered by those seeking the XP bonus, it also creates a dire problem that negates the original purpose of the consideration of this feature. The primary reason they are considering double exp is that the server needs to bring in more revenue in order to stay up. My case is a good example of the problem with this.

    I belong to a group of six people that play Wynncraft, and I am the only donor among the group. If the sheep were to be implemented as is, none of the other five would purchase VIP due to gaining its primary advantage from me. This has been stated previously, but previous posts failed to show how significantly this would affect server income.

    Let's say each other person would have normally bought only the standard VIP.
    The standard VIP rank is $25; however, this rank purchased by five people is $125. This is already a significant chunk of revenue that the server loses. Now let's show what would have happened if all of them bought the upgraded VIP+. VIP+ costs $50. If the five of them would have otherwise purchased this, then the server loses $250 of its potential income.

    While the sheep benefits the non-VIPs extensively, it is not a healthy choice for the server and its lifespan. To avoid potential backlash, I will not expand on the choice I believe to be best, but I did wish to demonstrate and show the significance of only a mere five people skipping out on donating. Just five people cost the server $125-$250 of its income. The Wynn server currently has an average of 700-800 players on at a time, and this is expected to grow immensely upon Gavel's release. Even if only a portion of the server skips out on donation due to the Sheeps AoE-style effect, the server will lose unimaginable amounts of possible income.

    Please look past personal benefit and think about what would be best for the server and its lifespan. There is no point in gaining increased experience if the server doesn't remain alive.
