++(I HATE Pay-2-Win, so if this became a thing, I'd want to discourage it by making it somewhat expensive...)

Reasons for a monthly subscription model and NOT p2W:

-I want fair competition

-I want people playing who actually WANT to play and not just troll or grief

-Im looking to create a more mature environment and server

-A mature environment is my goal because, from personal research, approx ~70% of the community I've asked and surveyed, have said that adult-only or adult-oriented servers are, in general, more fun and less annoying

-The proceeds are guaranteed monthly relative to number of players, and thusly will help ensure the server stays running for as long and as efficiently as possible for everyone to enjoy (electric bill for example)

-This is a passion project; it currently cost me over $400/month to keep it running by myself. I simply CANNOT continue to pay this forever. Eventually the community of players has to help even the costs out. This method is the most fair, even and consistent way of accomplishing those goals while still maintaining my vision and idea for this server network.

-Also, studies have shown that players that pay monthly subscriptions take their experiences while playing not only more seriously (less abuse and griefing), but with a proper price to enjoyment point, are happier as well with their time spent playing said game, in general, due to the lack of trolls, griefers, younger crowd, etc.
