I'm not sure if Elite+ rank has future implements ideas, but I'll post this anyway.
I'm not posting this thread just because I'm an Elite+ and I want more perks. I think everyone thinks it costs too much and it's not too much cool perks.

PartyZone is still being developed and these things (hats, gadgets, etc.) are not being worked a lot on because fixing bugs and updates for other games is more important. (I think). Like hats are currently disabled, and gadgets are working, there's just not a lot yet. What I mean is, there's not a lot of perks and cool features to add into the ranks yet, because it is still being developed and created. That may be an reason why some ranks doesn't really have a lot of cool perks.

Real money, it is something important, something we made, the humans. Games are something cool, that makes a lot of people happy. On Minecraft, there's servers. Each server haves your community and staff team. The highest staff work on creating new features for the server and developing fun things to players enjoy. Now, games aren't the most important thing on someone's life(some people think it is, but literally it isn't), so we shouldn't be spending too much money in it. But I'm not saying we need to stop paying servers! Just continue, because they give us cool things by paying money to them.

PartyZone may have these high cost-ranks because more support for developing is needed, I don't know... I think yes.

Why does servers need to make these ranks and other perks?
Because they need support, and that support is the players who pay money. The server gives cool features to whoever pays money to them. More happy people, more money(support) they get. The more support they get, bigger the server gets. PZ is getting bigger and bigger, like in one month tons of people join the server, etc. So that's maybe an reason why the ranks haves an high cost. They need support, to make the server bigger.

So, as there's not a lot of perks to the ranks, just reduce the cost of it, for future people. Then comes the problem I said above.. omg this is hard to explain, and also I have this terrifying grammar...

If you check out the ranks, you'll see the ranks perks/features. For VIP, as you can see, there's some perks/features. Then, VIP+, you get like these VIP perks "upgraded", like with VIP(example) you get 10 more hats in Murder to unlock. With VIP+ you get 20. Elite you get 30, and Elite+ 40. And other things. Each time you upgrade your rank you get one more gadget, etc.
Upgrading your rank, you principally get a bigger amount of things you already have with your current rank, and you get some new things also.

I've copied and pasted the perks from the official PartyZone's Store page. store.mcpz.net.

There's some perks that just repeat on each rank.
Note: On some ranks' perks list, it says "Coming Soon" or "More Perks On The Way". That is something the says that there's more perks coming soon, btw.

VIP Rank Cost: 20$

VIP+ Rank Cost: 40$

Elite Rank Cost: 80$

Elite+ Rank Cost 140$
That's the current each rank's cost.

When someone asks me in-game:

"Teodor, how much it costs to buy Elite+ rank?"
I answer: "It currently costs 140 USD"
They become scared and answer again: "Jesus! Why do you pay so much money to an server!"
Some people say: "Jesus! Why do you pay so much money to such an small server!"
One of the reasons I posted this thread is the way people get scared with the cost of the E+ rank.

I know the text makes some people lazy to read... ;n;

What I wanna say is: The ranks, principally Elite+, costs too much money and has too few perks.

~Teodor
Note: Also, tell me what you think about this(ranks costs & perks)!

P.S Correct me if I made any grammar mistakes or if I wrote something wrong(something that is not right about the server, or whatever)

P.S.S Kill me

It should stay the way it is. Who cares if it costs 140 USD? No one would go and buy Elite+ right away. Save up your money and upgrade your rank step-by-step.

I 65,07% agree with you. Your right that we should save money to get it step by step, but after all that work, when you get to the highest rank, Elite+, you don't get soo much cool perks.
It's also right, just avoid buying Elite+. Some people just buy to people think they're most special because they have the highest rank...

As @PotatoHaxor said, if the ranks (specifically Elite+) were cheaper, that would result in more people buying, and therefore higher server profits. It is actually proven that more people show up to something if they see the original price, and then see that it is on sale. Henceforth, Black Friday. Since so much stuff is on sale, people show up in dozens of stores and spend all of their money. I think it would bring more profits to the server if we had maybe more sales, or maybe even a day where everything is cheaper? Maybe make it like "Sale Saturday" and prices are like half off?
 
I think that's it's too expensive too. When I got elite, I had VIP+ before. And making it 40.00 bucks less was still shocking. 40.00 for a rank? I wasn't too sure but I got it anyways. When my friend told me how much it was, I was shocked. I still can't believe that having elite makes E+ only 60.00 dollars. Ranks should be cheaper if there's more stuff coming, why not make everything cheaper so more people buy stuff?

I think that price the ranks so that it is linearly increasing price.
Like have VIP $20 then VIP+ $40. You can keep that the way it is.
But for ELITE and E+, I think the ranks should have a $20 difference between them as is between VIP and VIP+.
For example, ELITE $80 and E+ $100.

You are correct about it being Linear. All are linear except for E+.
VIP = $20
VIP+ = $20 x 2 = $40
ELITE = $40 x 2 = $80
ELITE+ should = $80 x 2 = $160, but they give you a discount. :) So, it is actually $140, $20 cheaper.
 
I agree with all of you, but one thing I need to point out is if you want to run a minecraft server you need slot of money especially in the stage where PartyZone is right now. Maybe in the future they will decrease the cost.
 
I'm not saying I fully agree that Elite+ Is high priced I'm just saying that It come down a few dollars I suppose....
:/ I'm not too sure.

I should remind you that there are 3 cheaper ranks for people to purchase.

Also, I've found that with larger costing server ranks, working your way up to it is the way to go. Once you have VIP, Elite costs dramatically less, same goes with Elite to Elite+.

In my opinion, I do think we need more perks; but PZ Seems to be piled with stuff to do. Hats are disabled and Pets and SG and Skywars arent up its just 'BLAAAAHHHHHH' (If you get what i mean). They seem pretty head-over-heels.
 
Hmm. Maybe Elite Plus is a little too much, but that's expected. You can't expect a growing server like this to have the highest buyable rank up for like £50/ however many dollars. If you go from VIP > VIP+ > Elite > Elite+, it would probably still cost you a bit, yes, but I think that's the point of there being 4 ranks.
 
But seriously, even if you are upgrading one rank at a time, 140 is a lot... and like Potato said, if it's cheaper, most likely more people will buy it. #LogicFTW :p

Again, if Elite+ was the only rank available for purchase, lowering the price so more people bought it might make some sense. However, that's not the case -- there are 3 ranks for people to buy if they're looking into owning a donator rank. E+ is a perfect rank for those who'd like to support a network they're dedicated to.

I understand, and even agree with the argument that E+ should gain a few more perks to potentially make it more worth it in some people's eyes who aren't just doing it for support, however I don't agree with the mindset that it costs too much. There's a rank that costs $120 cheaper if people want a tag.

TL;DR - Most ranks cost too much and should be lowered or given more perks to make the current amount worth being bought to more people.

Agreed.
 
Elite+ kinda has the same perks as Elite but E+ is more expensive than Elite so... that's not really cool.
P.S If E+ was cheaper it would be unfair for the people who bought E+.
