Because the community of games where there is a paid entry is on average better than a free one. If the product is free, in my opinion it is worthless.
I would be willing to pay in order to play with other players who are willing to pay. Nothing is free, if I play on a free server I know I will not enjoy my experience there as much as paid.
VIP channels would be an interesting idea to implement if IMC is steadfast on the free-to-play model. I would just ask that the megaphone shout is exclusive as well to avoid all the terribleness that comes with a F2P community spamming the shout commands.
It would also address the bot problem in the way of not having to compete with botters(unless they pay for it, and you bet people who pay will be actively reporting botters), but they will still have an effect on the economy which can be good or bad.
EDIT: It would be like the âHOV Laneâ of the game, and I kinda like the idea.
I do and donât like the idea.
I like the idea because it would still allow people to play in a secluded area.
I donât like this idea because there are field-boss events, and some areas that are meant for farming spawns of mobs. Having the ability to access these points separate from people that weâre still playing with would be imbalanced, especially if theyâre going to have ROâs MVP-like drops 
Field bosses with a channel structure is sketchy to begin with, would the boss be on every channel or just one?
If it is just one they could put the field boss on a F2P channel and the VIPs could all go there.
Perhaps they could make some VIP only ones too :3
See, but thatâs where we run into the types of things we donât want. Especially if VIPs share the same serverspace as F2P players.
Yeah I know I was just being cute. I am kinda curious to see how they would implement field bosses with a channel system.
No, â â â â off with this kind of bullshit.
Iâm all for it, but ONLY if itâs a separate server that you pay for. Adding a Pay Channel is completely pointless, as youâre still on the same server as the F2Pâers and have to put up with the same issues (even with the extra channel) and use the same economy.
Thereâs no need to add any other benefits other than it being a separate server. No Cash Shop discounts (Because big spenders will get huge advantages from buying things in bulk, and youâre only paying $10 a month), no special maps or Bosses with unique drops (Unless theyâre purely cosmetic). The fact that itâs a P2P server is rewarding enough. Hope they give this consideration.
The system is pretty simple,you pay for example 12euros a month , you got access to privat channels with maybe more exp and drop,everything that is dropped there only will be able to sell to other vip players,this should save the balance between vip players and normal players.
Not sure if such a thing is way to complicated,but i think this shouldnt be to much of a trouble.
I donât know about more experience and drop rates. I wonât pay to level faster or get better loot - Iâll pay to have a better community.
âpay to have a better communityâ,well have good luck with that. 
We shall see, shall we not? 
the main problem is that the ruman race is somewhat racist even if some people donât agree with that.
Dosnt mather witch online game you will play (or anything that involves a lot of people) there always will be a toxic cumminty evolving around it,also the main problem arent online games,racism already starts at religions,human subcultures and other little things for example.
People that play p2p games are also toxic,they monthly payment dosnt stop them from doing it.
So to be serious p2p dosnt make the community better.
My personal experience indicates otherwise. But hey, Iâm not here to convince you; have fun playing either way.
i actualy like the idea, but i probably dont play in some VIP server because is stupid 
, u know why?, because is p2win, thatâs all.
its still a better idea than have an overloaded cashshop with 300% more exp and drop for 2hours,or headgear that gives +20str for example,surely they didnt confirmed that but the most times â â â â like this happens way to often.
Yes, Totally agree, and even for $ 20 / month
men, if they did a some vip server, they will put cashshop system or something like that in the same way, so dont worry, dont waste time, this tipe of games always do this. If they do some kind of skin system, i would like the idea, but any ways, this gonna happend.
I might not join it but I think itâs a good idea, the question is, will this separated server gather more funds than if it was free and allowed more people to eventually spends on the future cash shop.
