maihym 12 Posted July 1, 2016 Do you guys think I would get approved for monetization? If not, then what do I need to change? What if I change it from Donator level to Contributor level so it's not seen as a donation? http://www.chaoticgaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D-Man 0 Posted July 1, 2016 Huh, the monetization cannot include privileges such as gameplay advantages over non-donator players. You can make premium clothing, in-game advertising, reserved slots and such AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maihym 12 Posted July 1, 2016 Ok let me change that from donations to contributor or something. If I do that then what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackal326 1172 Posted July 1, 2016 I did but I still don't understand what's wrong. So, you didn't actually read it then... The fact that you're offering ingame items that have impact upon gameplay (i.e. "ingame money") rather than purely cosmetic (i.e. a re-textured hat) that provide no actual advantage and just look cool. That's what's wrong, well, thats and you're running a server to earn money rather than running the server for the fun of providing a community with a place to play... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry it costs money to run a server. And actually no I'm not trying to run a server to make money. I want a nice roleplaying community but running an arma server isn't cheap. Also when it said in-game items I assumed weapons and vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1172 Posted July 1, 2016 Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. "In-game items" by the very definition are items found in game, including in-game money... I'm fully aware servers cost money to run, no-one is saying any different. But if you can't afford to run a server and survive purely on voluntary donations (without any reward) then you shouldn't be running a server... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok well removing the in-game money thing isn't a big deal to me. So if I remove that then will I more likely be approved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1172 Posted July 1, 2016 Read the Monetization rules. Follow the monetization rules. Get approved. Edit: I find it odd how the thread linked in the OP has since been deleted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
war_lord 934 Posted July 2, 2016 I'm sorry it costs money to run a server. Sorry, but that's a nonsense argument, either get a better server provider, or get an actual job. A server for Arma isn't a significant expense. "I'm sorry it costs money to run a server" is usually Arma-Lifeise for "I like parting 12 year olds and their parents money" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 6, 2016 https://www.bistudio.com/monetization From the link above: From February 1st 2015, anyone is allowed to monetize their Arma 3 server in the following way as long as they're registered, approved and listed on https://www.bistudio.com/monetization/approved/arma3:- Charging players to access your server, if the fees and associated perks do not affect gameplay in any way, is allowed. Cosmetic perks are allowed. Limiting access to only paying players is allowed.- Product placement, in-game advertising and sponsorship is allowed.- Selling of in-game items, that don’t affect gameplay, is allowed.- Accepting donations is allowed, but to avoid any doubts: not providing donations must not prevent anyone from accessing the content.- If we feel anyone on the list at https://www.bistudio.com/monetization/approved/arma3is exploiting any loopholes or is not acting in the best interests of the Arma 3 community, we will remove them. That will mean they will have to cease this kind of monetization immediately or face legal action.Before applying, please check the following FAQThe permission is given for a limited time. It will expire on January 31st 2017. mayhim, this in red seens good for you? I believe it's very nice from BI. But you need to get high populated first.
