    SO, you clicked on this page for some reason, and I'm going to tell you my ideas for monetizing Infernal Realms after its full release, er... or something like that.

    Ready? Then LET'S GO! (Please note that these are not set in stone, and thus should be treated with a pinch of salt).

    1. Parties aren't working.
    Just, in general, parties aren't used for anything except the DayZ server, and it's kinda boring without all the crazy perks that you get from a kit or a rank.

    2. Kits might work better.
    No, really, think about it.
    If you buy a RANK at the store, it could give kits like for example, kit resources, which for one rank, might give you 20 wood, 20 rock, 15 iron, 10 steel, and 5 obsidian, or for a better rank, you might get a stack of wood, a stack of rock, 30 iron, 20 steel, and 15 obsidian.
    Think about it, because it might entice people to buy more ranks, so that they don't have to constantly farm resources and instead doing something more interesting, like... still grinding.... I'll think of something later.

    3. What Ranks could get you.
    Now, before you put my head on a stake, consider what we might be getting in the future.
    Maybe a Rank could get you an advanced kit like on my home planet, Warzone.
    Or maybe a monthly cape award that everyone gets, but is upgraded when you get a rank.
    (I.E Everyone gets a Skill Cape of their choice per month, but if you buy the best rank you can choose 4 capes instead of one.)

    Please, when you comment down below, be constructive about your ideas.
    You never know when Yom is listening...

    Anyways, have a nice day guys. See ya! - KickinITBrah.

    I think EULA already shot down ideas 2 and 3...

    ^ what man said.

    To elaborate:
    Parties were introduced because ranks etc are not allowed by mojang anymore

    I think there should be more things that the server can sell, it just can't be items/ranks/kits. Cosmetics would be cool, but the only problem is that in Warzone and Infected it would be a disadvantage as its sort of a stealthy game? You wouldnt want to be shooting sparkles out of your ass when you're roaming. In Infernal most cosmetics would take away from the natural aesthetics in the texture pack/weapons so Yom doesnt want to implement cosmetics there.

    If you come up with some good ideas for something to add to the shop you should suggest it. Would be nice to see the server making some money so we get faster/better updates.

    What if you could purchase customised or personalised skins of different weapons or buy crates that gave you a random skin?

    Could be done across all three servers and (I think) it would be EULA compliant.

    It might not make as much money as ranks and crates used to but it would contribute and it would also be cool for the community imo.

    Welcome to the average Joe's play experience.
    The problem with having a server run on funds in cosmetics is the server must have a large enough player-base that cares about cosmetics. The average player doesn't care for buying cosmetics. On the big servers, it works because they have so many players some of them are statistically bound to be someone who will buy and enjoy cosmetics. I don't think purely cosmetics could support our small server (not that you ever said it could).

    And uhh, yeah, DayZ does have a stealth aspect most people try to utilize. But you'd be surprised by the number of people that just don't care. Same with WarZone, especially WarZone. Cosmetics would be most welcome on Infernal if any server.

    I agree, cosmetics wouldn't be able to fully support the network, I never said it would. I know most people wouldn't buy it but some would. It would bring in more money for the server.



    I think buying weapon/item skins might be cool, but i have no idea how that would even be possible to have skins bound to players.

    Buying skins instead of finding skinned guns would be cool, but would require a huge change.

    But... why? Hypixel and Wynncraft still have buyable ranks, that, I will mention, still give in-game advantages for buying them. What's so different about Yom Network, a server that is just as good, and deserves just as much success? Is Mojang worried about unauthorized monetization, which by the way isn't even their problem? *sigh* But I suppose Mojang does have it's reasons, so I guess there's no way around it.

    Do they still watch over yomnet? If yom were to just bring back ranks would they notice?

    They wouldn’t. They won’t notice until some people report it and then they’d check back in and either tell Yom to demobilize again or they not give a second chance because they would see in some records or something the server hasn’t been warned. I don’t know.
