What should we do?

  1. Bring back double XP for VIPs

  2. Bring back double XP for VIPs but reduce the XP bonus

  3. Make it so VIPs receive a pet allowing them to share the double XP with players nearby

  4. Don't bring back double XP

    Here's some more ideas for you guys to discuss:
    - What about VIP having a 1.5x boost, but 2x when in a party with 2+ people?
    - What about VIP only having an 2x boost when in a party with 2+ people?
    - What about VIP having a 1.5x boost, but 2x when the sheep is out?

    And to answer this question that I see a lot in this thread: ''Why not just do more cosmetic stuff?''

    It is indeed possible for us to just make tons of cosmetic stuff for VIPs, but as I said, we do not have the kind of money or time to always do this. Other bigger servers can do it because they have a massive userbase and so by default, more money coming in.
    We have the stats on our side, and players are definitely more interested in gameplay changing features than cosmetic, by a LOT. We think there's more benefits to just give double XP, which is easy to code, and then spend our time on new features. Instead of having to pause the development to add new shops stuff so we can stay alive more easily.

    At least that's what we think. Don't let our opinion influence your decision.

    I like this one the best. I like the whole sheep idea so I feel applying any perks to parties in addition would be rhetorical.

    I understand that but everyone else would be much quicker in everything.

    the 3rd one seems cool for me, but just onr question. would the sheep bonus be reduced for non vips? so they only get 1.5? that seems fair to me :)

    The problem with the party is either Alts, or people just randomly trying to get people into their party, so they get a Bonus.
    This could be a negative thing, but also a positive. It could create some friendships, which is always nice. Having friends on a server is another reason to come back every day ;)

    I feel like the VIPs bonus shouldn't be a 'Get out of dodge! There's someone nearby, Quick, get rid of my Sheep before he wants to stay to abuse the XP bonus!'
    I would nearly think that giving Vips a 1.5x Multiplier, and VIP+'s a 2x Multiplier, and just call it good..

    The negative the Sheep idea has is that non-Vips could annoy you because of your double XP. Even if the Sheep is retractable, this is annoying. Also, having to spawn it in is quite annoying, and having this thing walk around blocking your spells isn't too advantageous either.

    I hope there's a solution which negates this negative..

    I think option 3 is the best one with the sheep (I stand neutral on the subject)

    The other issue is that none of my friends play on Wynn anymore, so I would be screwed unless I could get them back.

    My idea is maybe a multiplier for each rank VIP- 1.75x boost and 2x with the sheep and maybe VIP+ 2x boost and 2.25 or maybe lower with sheep?

    I feel like the golden sheep would be a great option, but to prevent crowding make it so it only affects party members and the user of the pet, and must be in a party to use it.

    3. Give VIP a ''golden sheep'' type pet that can be spawn/despawned, giving an XP boost to everyone within 50 or so blocks from it.

    2. Make pets pick up items on the ground for you instead - (Edited idea, maybe sniff out loot chests idk)
    These two would work best IMO

    The Golden Sheep idea sounds the best of them so far to me but honestly, I dont think any of the WynnCraft staff should be endorsing a EULA breach at all. While Mojang has done NOTHING so far to penalize any big name (or small ones for that matter) servers, it doesn't mean that its safe to assume that they wont period. The EULA isn't enforced at the moment, but it might be in the future. All I'm saying is that whenever Mojang's hypothetical gavel hits the hypothetical block, WynnCraft shouldn't be in the way of its wrath. And as much as I appreciate all the hard work and effort that has been put into WynnCraft as a whole, the only idea I can really support is the Golden Sheep idea, which i can say is also seriously flawed in its own right for points that can be found in the previous pages.

    It is legal as long as it affects other players as well as the donator, or everyone on the server.

    Can you show me where exp and item bombs violate the EULA?

    I read here (https://account.mojang.com/terms#commercial) under "Servers and Hosting" that "Therefore, if you comply with and follow the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines and Naming Guidelines above YOU MAY:...... ask for donations (as opposed to direct charges) IF you do not offer the individual donor something in exchange that only he or she can use".

    Vote #3. But it should not be a pet; If it's a pet, it's toggleable. It should not in any way be toggleable.

    I do believe that the EULA isn't really a thing now that Microsoft owns Mojang, but I suppose some tiny break is okay. Let me just say that I am a VIP+ myself and I am 100% against VIP and VIP+ double XP returning- something huge like leveling up twice as fast is completely going against everything in Mojang's End User License Agreement.

    So yeah. That's half of my slice of pie.
    My other half is that this is turning into a flame war, if it isn't already, but please, this thing is 10 pages long; It doesn't have to be this hard.
