Arnt there also the option to have ads run for a bit when people join the server to generate a steady income?

Is there Mithril? If so I'll research it, thanks for the suggestion. But I want to still be able to reward players for helping support the server(s). (RE) I looked it up, I found some stuff, but I think players would leave a server using ads, unless I got someone to pay me each week for putting ads in the MOTD, or when joining the server.

Will VIP be a one time payment or subscription base? And if we do implement the ad system, couldny we have it that VIP dont see it?

It's going to be one time payment, but I may add other such ranks above VIP, since VIP will be cheap and have access to the uncommon jobs. I was thinking about custom classes as well but thats only if the new survivor class jobs work out well in the new server setup. The ad system isn't set up that well, which means I would have to code it out for the VIP job, and make the ad system detect if the player is in the VIP job group, so on and so forth, but ad systems don't make that much, especially since on GMOD it's just one small playerbase and most ad systems are for match based games, like TF2. So I think the most we could make is like 5-10 cents a day, not enough to pay for the servers hosting, and it's obnoxious for the players, so I can't see them sticking around for very long unless I was done with the server already, so it plays well.
