I have had a Minecraft SkyBlock & OneBlock server for a year now.
Currently I have 3 ranks on the server which you can buy via points (which you get through voting or real money)
Is that reprehensible in your opinion?
Do you have any ideas how to solve this differently?
How do I get to the question:
I often read in forums and also here on good question that many bother if you can still buy things on a server even though you bought the game for 25 euro.
In my opinion, it is not reprehensible to be able to grasp these things well. If you e.g. You only get one coin every day and you need 10 coins for something useful and you get 100 coins immediately with an in-game purchase, that's reprehensible.
As long as you don't sell overpriced ranks, I think it's okay, after all, the servers probably cost something a month and you put time into the server
1. As long as it is not overpriced,
2. You get a corresponding consideration and
3. When it covers costs and is not just for your enrichment
Is there absolutely nothing wrong with it?
As long as the server can be played without ranks: No.
These are more or less "donations" that keep the server financially alive.
As a thank you, the player name with a thank you in the form of a rank is by no means reprehensible.
There are servers that offer the ranks overpriced e.g. Phorx addiction but it's not bad selling ranks for real money. Everyone has to cover their costs.
