so many patron only servers

 

Its almost like the best way to keep a service going, is to cater to those that are supporting it monetarily, those people in other businesses are referred to as patrons of the establishment, with the non-paying members being known as something like a vagrants or freeloaders... or you know, beggars, if you like...

 

After making po3 public, this will be the first patron server in quite a while.

 

This proves my theory that the staff favor the patrons over us non patrons (relax guys just a joke). Though to make it fair I feel like the non patrons should have there own private server and I know just the pack REGROWTH

 

Neat I suppose

 

Are there different island options?

 

Thank you to all those involved enabling prestige without allowing slow players like me to ride the coat tales of savvy players.

 

I know that the modpack description was just copied directly from the official modpack description, so i just wanted to clarify something, the description specifically says that the prestige system is "completely optional", is that actually going to be the case with this server or is the prestige system going to be enforced on all players even if they'd rather play without it and just have all the prestige-gated stuff unlocked automatically from the moment they start?

Also regardless of whether it has to be unlocked first through the prestige system, will it be possible for a player to generate the ProjectE island option to (re)start on?

I might be tempted to pay for a few months of patron if I'm not FORCED to use the prestige system, but I would definitely be interested if there will be the option to also start with the ProjectE island and I don't really see why that shouldn't be an option, my not using prestige and having 1 transmutation table to start with doesn't hurt anyone elses experience afterall!

 

The server has prestige enabled so you need to use prestige. The project E island only exists when combined with prestige as it is the final reward.

 

Right, I understand that, but that doesn't mean that MyM couldn't take measures to make it optional so that people who don't want to play with prestige can still play on the same server (thus expanding the potential number of people willing to pay for patron to be able to join it), assuming of course that a 2nd non-prestige SF4 server is out of the question..?

For example you could add a simple one-time use alias command /LetMeBypassPrestige that internally runs the command /Prestige add @p <number of prestige points needed to unlock everything> then people who don't want to use prestige can unlock all the features that prestige disables so it would effectively be like playing without it, while people who do want the extra challenge of Prestige can simply choose not to run that command.

Likewise the arbitrary restriction on the project E island requiring you to beat the pack once in prestige mode first could easily be ignored if doing so might encourage more people to donate to the network to be able to enjoy playing the pack the way they want to.

 

Okay, disabling projectE I can sort of understand (though still seems kinda lame), but why would any other mods that would otherwise be available in singleplayer need to be disabled?

 

Such as? The fact you are giving really short responses with no actual examples isn't remotely helpful you know....

I've played the pack a bit in SP (both with and without prestige) and the only mod that is disabled without prestige to my knowledge is ProjectE, everything else that is locked off in prestige mode like mystical agriculture, mystcraft, astral sorcery, jetpacks, tiers of mulch etc are all available with prestige disabled, so instead of just saying "some of the other mods" why don't you actually be specific so I know which ones you're talking about...
