Hello!

I have been playing 7DTD on another server and I am coming back to this one as I really enjoyed the PvE and PvP on the same map along with the great community!

The other server/support team had an option that allowed for Characters to be saved before a wipe so you would not have to start from scratch again after every server wipe (I did this in Alpha 16). You did not keep your items just your level. With Alpha 17 stable out now I am wondering if this could be an option on this server? I know it would take time and of course I would expect to have to make a donation or reoccurring donation for a feature of this level.

Just wanted to know your thoughts. Also I am sorry if this was already posted.

Thanks!

Hello. I am very familiar with the server you are referring to. I don't think I will be offering this. But instead of just saying no, please allow me to explain my reasoning in two parts:

1) I will NEVER ask a member to donate (pay me money) to provide a service. I don't like that idea on principle. It literally would only take mere seconds of my time to do what you have asked. While I certainly appreciate donations and they do help me tremendously, I find that practice very shady and greedy on the part of the other server's owner.

2) As you know, our server is split-map and as such we allow both PvE AND PvP play styles. It would be very unfair to have such a system in place that would permit a player to start a new seed leveled up while others that don't pay start from square one. Certainly this could be considered nothing short of "pay-to-win" for the PvP part of our community.

So, I hope you can appreciate my logic in not providing this service for our server. If this were an ALL PvE server, what you ask for could make sense, but I would never ask for money to do it. That said, I do intend to provide other in-game perks for donors soon. But these will be perks that will not give donors unfair advantage over the other players.

I am always open to new ideas so I appreciate your suggestion.
