xyz1234 0 #1 Posted July 29, 2012 Hello everybody, me and my friend are about to donate your servers. We just wanted to know if we get also no respawntime when we donate a TF2 server. thank you greetings patrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nano 7,892 #2 Posted July 29, 2012 No. You get no in-game gameplay advantage for becoming a donator. It wouldn't be fair if you had no respawn time when everyone else did. Here is a list of what donator gets you (besides keeping the awesome servers up of course): http://www.lotusclan.com/donate/ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possum 10,776 #3 Posted July 29, 2012 Hey Patrick. Simple answer: no. You have to wait for respawn just like everone else. The donation perks are meant to be non-game changing. You get some fancy colours and effects, and can trigger votes and so on. But you are still playing like a regular player. Hopefully that clears things up. ProLoser beat me to it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xyz1234 0 #4 Posted July 29, 2012 thank you for your fast answers i just have a last question when i donate your servers, do i agree to some kind of contract or standing order, which makes me pay each and every month? or is this simply one payment i have to do for this month and after the time its over? (like prepaid) thanks again P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nano 7,892 #5 Posted July 29, 2012 You can do either. You can recurring or a one time payment, whichever you prefer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xyz1234 0 #6 Posted July 29, 2012 ok thank you, but i still have trouble to figure out what is the recurring and the one time payment D: can you help me to make sure i make a one time payment? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nano 7,892 #7 Posted July 29, 2012 Sure. Just use this link for 1 month donation on all servers:http://www.lotusclan.com/donate/donate.php?s=0&m=1&sub=0 and this for 1 month donation on only 2 servers: http://www.lotusclan.com/donate/donate.php?s=2&m=1&sub=0 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a list of what donator gets you (besides keeping the awesome servers up of course): http://www.lotusclan.com/donate/ I would have to disagree with the "no in-game gameplay advantage" when you are exempt from being auto-balanced and team scrambled. Especially if you're on a team with a bunch of donators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willerms 1,794 #9 Posted August 1, 2012 But being autobalanced doesn't hinder your gameplay. Player chemistry is a completely different matter I was on a server where our team was getting rolled but I was still able to play how I normally do. Also, being a donator doesn't mean you're a better player. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
- Oli - 1,121 #10 Posted August 1, 2012 I would have to disagree with the "no in-game gameplay advantage" when you are exempt from being auto-balanced and team scrambled. Especially if you're on a team with a bunch of donators. When they say that you receive no in game performance boosts such as faster firing or extra health, faster spawn times etc... Being allowed to decide what team you are on can differ the gameplay, but does not affect your performance in game because it is the same as a non-donator. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
