Buy top 20 position in the MTA server browser for 20 days

Hello, I'm just wondering how does this work exactly when wanting to put your server on for multiple weeks? For example is there an ability like "Continue using this feature" so it keeps your server on top all the time or will it work like if paid too late and a week is already fully taken it transfers to the week after that one?

Cheers.

For any one server, you can only buy one week at a time. When that week is completed, you can buy another (depending on availability)

Is the position randomised within those top 7?

No. The position is fixed for each day:

  • 1st day = position 7
    2nd day = position 6
    ...
    7th day = position 1

Enter your server IP into this page to preview the schedule before buying:

Are there any restrictions for example how much top position we can buy?

It's now 4 euro's, so arround 50 cents per day.

But when the price is 6 euro's it's arround 0.85 cents per day.

So when you want to pay for a year it will cost 312 euro's (based on the 6 euro per week) for one server.

So 312 * 7 = 2184 euros.

So where is this money going to? (If I may ask)

Assuming all positions are bought for the whole month, and at the current price of 4 euros, the total monthly receipts (after paypal fees) would be 105 euros.

Out of that we have to pay for:

  • - Server rental (3 servers)
    - Cheat bounties
    - Code signing certs (just renewed at over 300 euros)
    - lil_Toadys gambling debts

And why should you guys buy that expensive SSL certs if you barely got money for it?

You always can go with let's encrypt, it's free.

But good to know that the money will go to the community instead of vacations hehe :P

And what are you guys doing with sorting based on players, and server names?

It makes me sad when I see all those famous servers earning hundreds of euros by using MTA to make it's profit (not a single euro donated to MTA in some kind of appreciation), while MTA struggles to pay their own costs, so now it came to all of this.

We can't use a free solution. Certs are not only used to encrypt the website, but also sign compiled Lua scripts (https://luac.multitheftauto.com), sign the MTA-client, and to protect the anti-cheat - which I assume is of some value to you.

No that's not true not because of that you can buy only for one week and you can't re-new unless your week finished and you are down to your regular position about cit i don't know how they are in the top maybe old server or something like that.

Why I don't see any servers with less players on top 7, they are still sorted according to players count. Nobody bought? you should provide colored server names or something like that

Yep colored server names would make this feature more attractive. Maybe im going to buy this. Most players waste their time on CIT to play competitive TDM while there is SAAW-WW2.

+1 on the colored names, I personally didn't feel like my server was "on top" when I used this feature. But then again you get what you pay for as 4€ is rather cheap :D
