i think its a good idea to make a membership pause button so if u have to go to a trip or moving to other country for couple of months or weeks u can pause it and dont waste the money they pay and make it that u can change it once a week so u would not pause it like on monday and resume it on friday
u can make a 1 year member last like 10 years
sooo no

Who needs pause when you have perm.
Would be able to pause anytime u want, meaning you could pause it anytime you like. so when players log off for the rest of the day they could simply pause it meaning member ship would be based on hours spent online.
-1, This would completely destroy the game.
I'd say no no, abuse smelled. Only way I'd see this working is let's say if you pause it you can't resume it until 2 months time, otherwise it's be totally an abuse.
but even if its a 2month pause I still say no. :p

You, sir, should do more then just read the title. He said to make people wait a week before activating the membership again. So it wouldn't be based on online hours.

Even if he didn't completely read it 1 week is short, so I agree with dill that this could destroy the game.

You're right. It
could destroy the game. It won't destroy the game if the idea is implemented properly.
Not the most clever example but this is what I think.
Let's say you buy milk, with a expiration date of let's say... I don't know, 1 month.
And you bought that milk for whatever price, I don't do grocery shopping.
So, let's say you're sick and can't drink milk for let's say 2 weeks(Lol idk), do you honestly believe you can negotiate with the milk for the expiration date to be paused >:D
I Lol'd at the whole post, I'm trying to state a point that is, you're paying for a specific time you agreed with, if you don't use it wisely that's on you :p

To be fair, you could still drink the milk, even after the month.
Also, I never said it should be implemented exactly as he wants it. Maybe if someone wanted to pause their membership for a month, they could pay 1/2 of the cost of 1 month membership. That way the owners and the players meet in the middle. If you want to pause your membership you have to pay, but not as much as it would be to buy a whole new membership.

no it would lol
ret quoted dillh wrong
Just let them pause it once or after you resume the membership you have an extended period of time before you can re-pause it.
what if membership auto-adds days to itself when the player didn't log in for a long enough time of the remaining membership time left (or for the total memership time)
for example:
player a has 1year membership
player a doesnt login for 30 days
when player a comes back he gets 30 days back since he never logged in
player b has 30days membership
player b doesn't login for 10 days
when player b comes back he gets 10 days back since he never logged in
this way you cant ause it, since you have to stop playing on that account for a long time, and you get no additional time in your membership; a membership would last long only if the player is not really active so it doesnt harm anyone
Most likely won't happen.
