Den said:This idea is semi decent. But I kinda agree with you
by the requirements your making us pay an additional
$25 on top of the already $30 that we have/ had to
pay for the other upgrades.
Jason said:Exactly. I think +/- 10 is enough let alone the ability to +/- 15.
If Power+ is implemented, then the amount of rep to given (+/-) is as follows:
Donator: +1 and neutral only
Onyx: +/- 3 and neutral
Power: +/- 5 and neutral
Power+: +/- 10 and neutral
That may seem pointless, because it is, very pointless in fact. Why take away one's powers that they've paid for and limit them? Then again, why give members such ridiculous powers as Power+ will give them. I can easily see the advantages of Power+ being abused. Upgrades should stay how they are. I understand that the upgrades we have now may not reach a members complete needs, but what happens when they get Power+? Once they get it, they're going to be bored and want to work for something else. You said it yourself, this would be the very last upgrade available to use as members. What's going to happen when members get bored of Power+?
Anxiety said:Really don't think four upgrade groups is necessary. I would say just upgrade your current most prestigious group instead of just adding other groups with better permissions.
If you really want to monetize it that badly though, you could always just make the upgrade groups yearly subscriptions instead of lifetime, that way is definitely better than having ANOTHER upgrade group, in my opinion.
Philly said:That isn't a bad idea. Add more advantages to power and either raise the price or make it yearly. There is a thread in the private section where alot of members want another group though, which is the only reason I made this is to see what everyone though. I don't even want 4 upgrade groups. i would prefer only two myself.
Anxiety said:Yeah two is the perfect amount in my opinion. I'm not sure how you would do it now but reverting to two and making them yearly subscriptions would work much better, especially if you keep investing in decent features. More people with yearly subscriptions results in more income than you would get from four separate groups.
I'm not sure if there's an automatic system for this, but you could have the renewal price cheaper than the actual price. For example, $20 for one upgrade and then $10 a year to renew instead of another $20. I know there is a subscription plugin (Pirata's), but I'm not sure you can change the renewal price.
Cole said:Just make it happen Philly regardless of what anyone thinks. If they don't like it, they don't need to upgrade. Either way if the money from this is going towards the site this is a good idea.

Philly said:Damn you got some sick ideas here. I think i figured out what I am going to so...
Do Onyx, and power only, and put anyone in the donators group into onyx free, than add some new features to power, and onyx, than make onyx, and power a yearly subscription from this point on, and when anyone with it currently will get it forever free as it was when they bought it to be fair. So yearly would only be for the people that have not gotten it yet. Just a thought...
