Group VIP servers

I routinely get messages like these:


But then I have to explain to them that group games don’t support VIP servers.

They ask why.

I have no idea why?

Can we have VIP servers implemented for group games?

I don’t understand what technical difficulties there would be when we already have VIP servers working fine for normal games.

Use Reserved servers, basically the same, except scriptable.

Yes, but why are we given the task of implementing this feature from scratch when there is already an existing option that can easily be ported over?

Though I don’t know anything about Reserved servers yet, I doubt you can have recurring payments using them like you would with VIP servers if they are purely scripted in a game. That’s one of the major appealing aspects that VIP servers have.

That is not the same, sure we can make our own system for it. But it is the same principle as game passes. On site !

It’s a solution for now, no guarantee on when they will fix it. Plus if you plan to add matchmaking or anything similar, it’d probably be a good idea.

I second this, I get messages almost daily about people wanting VIP servers for Risky Strats.

I almost did the same after trying to make a VIP for an old version of the game. That didn’t end well, since I just got teleported to your game : P
I greatly support this idea.

Although I don’t believe that this feature would be of any use to me I can see how it could be useful to some, therefore I support the implementation of it. As previously stated, why should we have to make our own system when there is already one with more benefits than can be ported over easily?

A related request: allow groups to purchase VIP servers, and to restrict them based on rank or role.
Combining both, we can have groups owning VIP servers on their own games, which makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I am currently using a system where I pay my developers through PayPal whenever I cash out just so I can have VIP servers. This would make my life far easier.

I really think this needs to be added… :slight_smile:

My game is coming to release soon and I need VIP Servers for groups out before I can release it, I don’t want to put my game on my profile just so I can use VIP Servers, as I have to pay other people as well that worked with me.

I just don’t understand what reasons there are to not allow groups to have them. Not saying there aren’t any, I just can’t think of them.

Technical limitations that haven’t been sorted out yet.
