How many of you think that a $5 a month subscription to this game for VIP benefits would be worth it if you were seeing actual updates being made on the game? 

I'd donate 5 a month if he used it on advertising

Does VIP status mean what upgraded accounts get now?
If not we can jot down ideas like
VIP status should say give you 1 bt every 24 hours or every 2 days or 1 week or something that goes straight to your chracter. Things like this that dont give a massive advantage but is an incentive to buy.

If he goes back to 3 worlds and reduces characters to 2 then I think this would be a great idea. 

Stephen Ben I thought that as well, but wouldnt it be a good incentive too purchase it? Or you could be left behind (I dont actually think 25 ticks is "that" much of a bonus over 24)

Also maybe set it up so 1 month is $5 3 months $13 6 months $22  1 year $35 or so. Award people who plan to stick around for a while. This will also act as an incentive to people who go for the cheaper option to continue play as they dont want to lose out on money.

Have it as a "members" bt which you can only store 1 of and until you use it you cant start the timer for another. Say I use it at 6pm on monday Ill get it on 6 pm tuesday but lets say I hold off on tueseday and let it sit till 2 am wednesday morning I'll get the next one at 2 am thursday  morning.

I can't see an issue on that. Gives members a 4 tick boost over OOP at worst. The question is could it be implemented that way?

You've gotta remember that zeta wants the game to be free, he doesn't want to give large bonuses to people who pay to play. I understand this is a capitalist society but it's a slippery slope. 

is this a texan arguing against proft??

I will happily take your hard earned money shyers :P

ZeTa if youre serious about doing an overhaul I can and will create a shortlist of things that need to be fixed by talking to the influential members of the community. But only if you will be serious about it, otherwise it will be a waste of time for me :P

I do think you need to generate another source of income like what we had discussed here.

I am currently in school learning some small things here and there. If need be I would have no problem assisting in whatever capacity is deemed necessary for a new version. Just message and let me know.

I know PHP quite well, JS/jQuery as well, CSS/HTML, MySQL etc.

i can't help on the back end, but i'd like to be a helper in the revival effort

Instead of a BT / 24h, what about just increasing the efficiency of the normal ticks? Ie, 10% quicker armies, 5% "hidden" scibonus in each science, 20% longer vision etc. Would still be a good bonus but wouldn't give the same tactical advantage as BTs.
