This has been bothering be for a REALLY long time. It's when a server gives super over-powered weapons, perks etc. to so called "VIP'S" or maybe "Doners". Occasionally, they'll add something like "VIP+" or "Hero". Servers, stop the bribery.

$29.99 for 2x Coins?


You know what, it's not worth it. I actually donating $10 once and got banned a couple days afterward for "hacks"... :( No refund. ANYWAYS, before we get off topic, lemme say something. Donating or buying ranks is not worth the risk of your money. Basically, what servers do is they give extremely powerful stuff to people who donating or bought a rank. This encourages buying and paying them for the stuff so that the players can get it. Because EVERYONE wants super over powered swords, so they take advantage of that.

Marketing Methods


That's basically what they do to you. They manipulate your knowledge or I should say... gameplay so that they get more money. I'm not saying that all servers try to bribe you and are bad, but I know for sure that Hypixel's server for Blitz Survival, VIP's get some pretty crazy stuff like a horse :/ Sorry to throw you under the bus, but a lot of other players hate on VIP's on that type of game (FROM MY EXPERIENCE).

So is it worth it? Probably not unless its a good server. Should you get it? Maybe, depends if you want hate and a powerful sword, or if you want to become friends with regulars, but have the basics.

Thanks for coming! PLEASE NOTE that the "bribery" is from my experience on some servers mentioned. You might not have seen it, but I know for sure I have.

The server i play on most expensive donation is 15 dollars so even if i were to buy a donation pack and get banned wouldnt be much of a lost.

The server I play on is the only one I trust to donate to.
And the donators don't get overpowered crap, it is medium-high leveled weapons we get.

While I understand server's need for money and I don't hate VIPs, I still would never donate, no matter how could the perks are (I'm the kind of guy who can have fun on his own but still likes playing on servers every now and again).

I also agree that some of the perks on the Hypixel server are a bit over powered (its still my favorite though).

Here's a diamond.

dude, these servers need the money to run, blogs like this are the reason so many servers close down each day.

replying to both: most people dont have the ability to host their own servers, plus there are many more experiences for a good server, good builders expect payment, devs for custom plugins and website expect payment, server hosting from a service cost at least $30 a month but can go in the 100's for good ones. Server hosting from home also requires buying the servers, maintaining them, and major electricity cost.

Actually, if you self host a server, it's free.
Website? Use Enjin or Weebly.
Free.
There you go. A free server and website.

Yeah, I understand that. But to keep up a website is usually $15 a year (I think) and if they use a website to host the server, that should be around possibly $30? Plus everything else lets just say about $100 (I added $55). Still, even if it's $500 a year and $50 for VIP, then it would only take 10 people to buy it... you also don't need so many perks. But then again I'm sure you have a better contradiction to this.
