Heya!This is a serious topic on which how most huge companies and corporations fail. It is the being too Money-Hungry, and not caring about the quality and the money having to be spent just to have private games on their server. It is not fair that us people who have VIP Level 30, (which costs over $200 USD) have no access to the perks that people pay 12 dollars each month to get (Still amazingly overpriced). Another problem are these 30 day subscriptions themselves because the perks that these subscriptions are worth are equal to the amount we paid for ranks, but the only difference is you're paying every single month (Money-hungry). This genuinely amazes me how big companies like Cubecraft are getting away with legitimate SCAMS and exactly how money hungry they are.
Here are some suggestions: 1). Make it a Permanent Gold Rank, But make us pay a little bit more (maybe $20 permanent)
2). Combine Subscriptions and Ranks into one permanent purchase, because the subscriptions make the ranks worthless
3). Have an upgrade system for VIP 30 (Make the permanent one cheaper or make PG's free for VIP 30s because theres no way we spent $200 just to fly in the
lobby.)
Final warning CubeCraft, you're already in a bad place, don't make it worse for yourself by trying to squeeze every little penny out of your players, because people who already spent $200+ on your server aren't getting what they paid for. Put the quality of your server and the experience for your players before money (This is why The Hive is thriving). If you don't, I would like to see you last another year before shutting down.
I understand why this feels frustrating, but the main reason CubeCraft introduced subscriptions for Private Games is not just about “making more money,” but about covering the rising costs of running a large server. Hosting, maintaining, and updating multiple game modes, especially ones like PG, requires constant resources, and a subscription model ensures the server can stay online and continue receiving updates.
While permanent ranks are valuable, those purchases were made before PGs were public, so the subscription isn’t meant to devalue them, it’s a way to manage ongoing content that wasn’t available at the time of purchase. Without some form of recurring revenue, there’s a real risk that high-cost features like PGs could be discontinued altogether.
I hope you understand! :)
