How about something new, instead of making this limited to VIP make a new kind of thing that is strictly just about mining. Like buying a certificate/badge kind of thing that allows you to enter these kind of mines. Somewhere in the price range of maybe 2000g-3000g? And with this certificate/badge comes a limited time it last as well. Because I don't think people are really gonna wanna buy VIP just to do enter a certain mine because VIP is 7500g, but what I said seems a little bit more reasonable and would be focused on mining.

I prefer this than to just use vip, which is 7.5k. And like 943 said, no one is gonna wanna buy vip just for mining. As for what to use vip for, i'd have to think what else we could use that for. They should have more privelages than a non-vip member on certain things though.

Meh, thats too long and un-reasonable. Not saying its a bad idea, but leveling is already used to increase mining time and your luck on getting better minerals(such as gold and diamond). At least i'd like to think thats what leveling is for?

Its also a plus for them to make money, I can't agree on the certificate being limited though. Maybe 3 different certificates? Certificate One for 7 days, C2 for 16 days, and C3 for an unlimited time. Of course Certificate 3 won't just be 3-4k. It'd have to be a higher and reasonable price.  

In defense of VIP exclusive mines, you don't pay 7500 just for mining. You pay for a month of revive, different colors, items (instruments lately), and then access to mines. I think VIP-only areas would add more value and purpose for paying 7500 a month.

I'm not sure what's so difficult and horrible about mining for upgrade materials? please elaborate.

It really is **** to do, the addition of extra minerals just made mining for the specific ores even harder  

Now, like everyone is saying something does need to be done about VIP and this is one of the ideas I have.

It's kinda like how classic every now and then will add a shop in onnet town for VIP users. But this kind of shop wouldn't be a limited time thing but would still need VIP to enter. Now this isn't my idea but I've seen a lot of people saying how gun skins and new heads/hats would be a nice thing for VIP.

Now about the gun skin thing it would be limited on how long before you could choose a new skin, and would also cost a reasonable amount of gralats to do it in the first place.

As for the hats and bodies and heads, change them out every month or so. Now some people might argue that with heads and bodies people could just upload them theirselves, so just make these graphics not allowed to be uploaded.

For the hats make them have some kind of effect as well maybe for some of them maybe? Not every hat but one every now and then.  

Or maybe there could be a feature someplace to upgrade for a higher gralat price, given the NPC has a "stock" of materials.  

How about player made bodies and such? It would be reasonable considering no one would have their bodies? Or if the admins are willing to make their own sorts of things for us. But of course the people would want things not already made, maybe SOME things from classic. But yes, i can agree on there being a VIP only shop.  

We're talking about mining, just add what i said ages ago, vip gives a month of fully upgraded guns to the buyer

I'm saying, pay to have your guns upgrade for a higher gralat price. This way, the impatient people can loose money and not have to go mining. The excuse of the system would be "why mine if you can buy our ores, ontop of your upgrade costs?"

Someone understands what I'm saying, I don't want a new stupid mine that you have to pay to enter I just want some special item that makes your weapon auto upgrade, it would make iEra a much funner place.

I don't mind as long as you pay 2-3x the normal upgrade rate per gun.

Yes yes yes, snk please please please please please add this pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssseeee.  

Ah, i see what you mean now shock. Alright that makes sense to me, how much money do you suppose they should make it cost for the lazy peeps?  

Say an example:
By Mining: Gun A is repaired by having 200 gralats, and a bunch of minerals.

By Not Mining: Gun A is repaired for 400 (or 600 gralats), with no minerals.

Since every gun has it's own price to upgrade/repair, you'd simply slap a formula on it and remove the multiple of the original price of the repair.

So, if you're lazy you should be able to still upgrade. It's just way more expensive without minerals.

Somebody ban and remove this idiot HELLOSE. Inappropriate, vulgar bs.

Wtf. Strange ***. His post disappeared from the thread completely.
