Hello all. I know I am fairly new to the server but I am not new to dayz. That being said I am a member of a small clan primarily focused around dayz and arma 3 along with having multiple dayz servers up and running. We also had a donation store in a sense, but along with donation perks we also had member perks. What I mean by this is things such as long term member perks and starter picks. A big thing that people seemed to like that might be good to consider is a starter kit along with the basic loadout a player gets. This would be received after each player gets their admin talk when joining the server and once they have agreeed they could then receive a care package in a sense of what it would be. This could be enough money to buy a basic car or a sniper so that they could do missions right from the start.
Again these are suggestions but I personally saw some really good feedback from seeing this taken into place when I was an admin implementing them. Followed by a lot of good feedback and donations later on for saying thank you and just an overall thanks for how good the server is can be a great feeling receiving by the server owners and staff.
P.S. Will still be with my main clan but I am looking to be on this server also long term so looking forward to talking to you all and getting to know you. Had a great day today on the server and was able to talk to scott and joe and was greeting very friendly and openly. Hope to see you all in game soon and let me know if you have any questions for me or anything else. Regards, Seanieboy.
