Important Vote 2
EDIT: 1/25/16
Due to the amount of views (of ads) to even get $3, I will not be adding ads to the server(s).


First, please check out the "New Year Talk" if you haven't yet.
http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/ctf2w#announcements/detail/714184502546271396

There are couple of ways to support the servers, in which no one barely has.
1) Our Patreon
https://www.patreon.com/cTF2w

2) Key Donation
I haven't had the chance to set it up yet, but it will only be key donations

3) Ads in the server
As in the "message of the day", there will play a short 30 second real advertisement.

Please vote on the option for ads in the server. Some people don't like them, but it helps the server owners to pay the bills.

Donations will be a monthly "charge" but it's not much for the Patreon or in keys. This is what is currently on our Patreon page:

The proceeds will help pay for server costs and other costs.
1) Server costs
2) Paying the model makers for the use of their models
3) Pay for the help of our coders (for the new attributes)
4) A portion will go back to the community (as in, raffles and other stuff)

This is our current server layout:
Server #1 USA Custom Weapon Server (32 player)
Server #2 USA Freak Fortress 2 (32 player)
Server #3 USA Stop that Tank (24 player)
Server #4 Luxembourg Custom Weapon Server (24 player)
Server #5 Canada Custom Weapon Server (24 player)

With more planned later:
Server #6 USA MvM Server 1
Server #7 USA MvM Server 2
Server #8 Beta Server
Server #9 x10 Server

What is the "Beta Server"?
The beta server is were removed and work-in-process weapons will be public tested to be moved to the "main servers". You can help voice the changes, so non-premium donators can enjoy them.

I think that 30 second Ads are fine, and Key donations would work too. I think donators should get something special, like trails or something just to show the players that they are a supporter, and for vanity purposed :D

Also it makes me really happy to see that a x10 server is planned :D Keep up the good work guys! I am thinking about donating to the server.

If you did read the "New Year Talk", I did mention that. Currently, I don't know how to set the the database so each individual person will have the perks that they donated for. I hoped at this time that the numbers of servers and weekly changes would be enough for now.

The key donations... ehhh. I dont feel like key donations do anything to support the bills of the server.

Also guys would you add the premium benefits just for cosmetic features. We dont need gameplay changing

They would.... people (as in me) can sell the keys for real money.

You can ask chdata how to do those things right? He's good at it, way too good if I might say.

I have, but we aren't free at the same time long enough.

I'd say short/non-intrusive ads are the best way to go, i don't want to say just "yes" or "no" on this one. If there was an option for 15 second ads i'd definitely vote for that.

This.

30 second ads are a pain

I'd donate if more EU servers were made, the one in luxembourg is not too great.

With the company I use (and the other that I know of), there isn't alot of choices of locations. Also, even if the luxembourg is not too great... I would expect more then 3-5 people on that server once in a while. I might need to just shut down that server due to the very low player count.

Why not? You convert keys into $2+ each and then pay the server using that.

Maybe because you cant sell it outside steam market.Maybe you can,but it will take a long time to find a buyer

I started the process to sign up with Pinion.

There's something to mention... how much a person (server owners) gets from the ads.

Up to $3.00 per thousand ads viewed... so I don't think it's even worth adding ads.

Here is some math, if an average player count for each day is 16, then it would be 480-496 per month, so I would not even get $3.
