Above is a notion page regarding upcoming Java rank changes. In my opinion, this isn't a good idea and won't likely help the server much. Firstly, lots of people already have ranks so not much added revenue, Java is incredibly dead right now so how much do they realistically expect to make? Finally, would anyone seriously pay for a rank subscription on a server, let alone one not performing as well? The ranks were overpriced as before, but I'm not sure what they could possibly be now. Even if the prices are reasonable and low, I highly doubt anyone not able to purchase a rank themselves could talk a parent into buying this.
A theory for why this is happening, which could be 100% false so don't quote me, is moving ranks to renewable rather than lifetime is a safe option IF the server is ever closed down. If that's the case, that's an unfortunate means we have come to.
In conclusion: I think many changes here are very good, and more perks and items for ranks are awesome! Subscription ranks are absolutely not the way to go.
What do you think about these changes? Would you buy a subscription rank? Feel free to vote in the poll, bedrock folks are welcome to vote as it's a generic question.
