If you could pay extra for a custom server rule, what would it be and why?

This is all hypothetical and for fun:

If you could pay extra for a custom server rule, what would it be and why?

The assumption is that everyone on the server would be subject to the same cost price, and just that one rule would change. This also assumes that a full active player base for that rule exists.

Example:

I would pay an additional $5 a month to play on a server where no one can use their mouse to click skills. You can only use keyboard key binds and MMO mouse buttons.

I just think it would be a smoother experience. I feel like I would be more confidant in my fellow server goer, knowing they are not still using their mouse to click their rotation like it's the dark ages.

My server rule would be no cosmetic items. We will be able to see visual progression and actual mounts that people have.

My server would toggle off corruption. Not because I dislike the system, but because I think a single completely hostile and chaotic server would be funsies

I would pay extra for a no ui server. Everything by feel and the signs the game give you. No health bars. No skill bar etc.

I would not play on that server, but I will defend to my death your right to want it.

Tulnar only !

That sounds great! Tulnar only on this one server, and no Tulnar at all on all the other servers! I think you've just solved everyone's problems!

1, Server has a built in combat tracker.

2, No cosmetics at all.

Of what we know so far, this is about all I can think of. Anything else i would like to see from Ashes is a change in direction (even if only subtle), not a different ruleset.

I honestly think if Intrepid offered it as an option at launch for an additional $5 a month, it would be more popular than the regular servers.

I'd be OK with this. But realisticly it would have to be the monthly sub + the cost of the monthly cosmetics (which is the revenue they stand to lose) so you should be paying $135 per month per person for this server rule. Lol.

No it wouldn't.

I plan to not buy a single cosmetic, as do most of the people I am friends with that either are or have considered playing this game. I would wager that the bulk of people that would pay extra to play on a server with no cosmetics would also not pay anything for cosmetics - it makes no real sense otherwise.

As such, if they get $5 more out of each of us, that is $5 more than they would have made.

Yes that's true. The servers would be immensely popular. And then it will start drawing people that may have spent occasionly because it's a better experience and hey it's only a extra $5. Then more people will join because everyone else is, resulting in significant sales decrease. Hell even I who has brought cosmetics would instantly switch to a no MTX server for a clean experience. People tend to flock to higher population servers for a better experience. The only way Ashes could retain the revenue would be to drasticly increase the monthly sub cost for clean servers.

By increasing, yes.

Just not by $120 a month as you suggest.

There absolutely will be a massive number of players that prefer cosmetics and so play on those servers. There will also be a mass of people that are happy paying $15 a month and not a cent more. We have had a whole lot of threads here with people saying $15 a month is too much.

Servers without a ruleset like this will be adequately populated. This means the only reason people have for going to this server is because they want this ruleset. As such, $5 a month extra probably is enough to cover the lost revenue from these people not buying cosmetics.

My rule would be:

All rules are invalid until I am paid $1,000,000 .
