[Realm] Donater Realm?

[Frank[Fly]]

Hey guys.

I was wondering.. How do you make a Donater Realm? - I know how to make the other realm, but i dont know how to make it accessable to only Donaters.

Thanks for you time - +Rep if you help me.

The easiest way to do this would be to actually have the seperate realm have a seperate logon database. Then place the login details for donator accounts in yourself or have one of your staff members do it. Ideally, it would be best to run it on another PC so you wouldn't have IP conflicts since you can only have a realmlist point to one logon server and this method would require two. This would be my plan:

1) Set up public server on main PC. (world, logon, and character databases)
2) Set up a website and point registration to that server.
3) Create a donation system. This could be as easy as PayPal and a donation button. Make sure users whisper a GM for donator access and use the code they send in the email and you get a copy of, etc. This parts your decision basically. Come up with a way to verify donations.
4) Create your seperate server on Alternate PC. This could be as easy as copying the same base files for your old server. Do NOT include online registration for this server.
5) Verified donators get an account created on this server. You, or your trusted staff, could have access to the database and add in the logon info. Increased usability could be involved by adding a password changer for this realm so players could change it.
6) Make sure donating players know the realmlist. It would be ok to post it publicly as only people with donator accounts could access it.


Hope that helps.
