Those who see this tell people in game because morons don't read the forums and doesn't know whats going on because this will be a surpise to them when it happens. If people rage quit so be it lol. They cant take 3 seconds of their life to vote so why do we need assholes like them?
What we might have to do to get players
Tue Mar 18, 2014 7:06 pm by Sol
Well our best bet without a doubt is the last option that I don't want to resort to, which is pay for advertisements. Now I don't know if you are aware of costs on purchased advertisement; it's heavily expensive. Some adverts range from $100 to $1000 depending on which website. Now of course I'm not going to pay for that kind of fund which is really ridiculous. Why? Because it doesn't give you a …

Are we progressing?
Mon Mar 17, 2014 2:06 am by Sol
Well I wanna start out with some statistics first. We have(at the time i posted this topic) 307 accounts total including people with multiple accounts. I can do a stats check for this later. Out of those 307 accounts, we have 256 inactive accounts. That is an 83% inactive player base leaving about 51 active accounts. We are in fact declining in votes as well assuming our player count average …

Hello boys and girls! I want to let you guys know there is a stronger chance(80%) sure that the server will be coming back. Why you may ask? Well the support from your fellow players did not give up for the past year. They kept begging and begging for the server to come back. I was surprised and felt ambiguous.
Anyway, for those who weren't aware of what was going on in the past 2 months, I …

Next security measure on voting
Since its pretty obvious were doing so horrible in voting even with the vote rewards I'm taking the next step which is restrict the use of crystal keys until you vote and then you will be allowed to use crystal keys on the chest. Other words, the database will automatically check if you voted or not and if ur on there you can use a ckey if you didn't vote then you can't use crystal keys. I guess i have to dictate you guys because you seem not to understand. If this doesn't work, I'll disable people who didn't vote and not be able to play. If that doesn't work, you don't want me to head that road cus that will be the final straw.

I hope your not face palming me because im only trying to save vpk from assholes who don't vote and give credit to people who do vote. If you vote it shouldn't be a problem any how.

Re: Next security measure on voting
true, for some people are keys very hard to get, or people who just started can't buy them, i think the money for voting should get a bit more maybe that helps

use vpkcash.tk and make sure you put your right name...and then do ::voted, to get the reward, this will show in the database.

Re: Next security measure on voting
This is too far for me. When you start forcing people to vote and banning people that don't vote you have gone too far. This is a free server online and you don't have the right to force people to do things. Not allowing people to do the chest for not voting is acceptable and would work, but banning people for not voting? What if someone goes on vacation or is very busy with school (as I have been). Would you ban them? How can you tell if they are busy or playing and not voting? I will not stop playing the server, but be rational man.

Read the whole thing. If trade and chest are limited and still not enough votes, then he will see about ban. It's the last straw. He wouldn't ban people who don't log on. Only people who play and not vote. If you vote, then why worry?

How is he supposed to know if we are playing and not voting or not playing and not voting. I am worried because I have finals in a week and I don't have time to play or do anything other than school. I have 2 AP classes and a lot of stuff to do. I don't want to be banned for being busy.

Re: Next security measure on voting
Its a good idea, each server has their way of getting people to vote by reward or restriction. The 5m reward n trade restrict are paying off since i see more people voting. This crystal key update will help voting even more, idk who would rage quit if they cant use a key on a chest lol..
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Next security measure on voting
Im not doing an individual search, that would take forever. I look at it by majority. This idea has worked out so far. We get more votes than before. But thanks for jumping to conclusions "asshole." I have the right to call you that because you feel that by taking away something where it only takes seconds of your life to do in return despite how many updates i do to this server and the fact how much effort i put to this server gives YOU ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO CRITICIZE ME ON SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WON'T IN FAVOR. I'VE DONE MY PART ITS YOUR GUYS TURN TO DO IN FAVOR. BUT UNFORTUNATELY LIKE I SAID IN MY FIRST POST THAT IT HAD TO GO THIS WAY. AND IN FACT, IF I DIDN'T GO THIS WAY WE WOULD BE RANKED 35 BY NOW CONSIDERING WE DROPPED 20 RANKS, 20 RANKS, 20 RANKS, YES I REPEATED MYSELF CUZ YOU SEEMED BLIND TO BY FIRST POST, IN A WEEK.Supah Mo wrote:Slushee wrote:Supah Mo wrote:This is too far for me.

If you don't like this idea then i emphasize to quit the
server because i rather get rid of idiots like YOU who seem 3 seconds is so wrong and the fact you get 5m in return for voting any how?

Apparently I didn't understand. I thought people would be banned if they didn't vote individually. And Sol I do appreciate everything you do.
I will not quit this server. I will stay till the server goes away. But man I think you should be a little calmer bout stuff. I mean if one person is busy and doesn't vote for a week you can't take it personally. To me it seems that you took offence to me be being busy. Ya it only takes 10 secs but voting isn't a priority for most people unless they are at their computer or playing the game. OFC once finals are over and I play the game regularly I will go back to voting regularly.

Re: Next security measure on voting
Hmmm is changing IP allowed to vote multiple times?
I mean you won't get reward i guess, because it check's on account + ip?
It's just for helping the server out
