Queue system - VIP queue
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Please provide the following when creating the Ticket:

Game Version number: Future Release
Modded?: Either
If modded, please list the mods:

Feature Description: With the incoming patch due to implement a queue system, it seems to be a flat setup of queuing to join. Could this be extended in a future update to also include a form of VIP access? This could be handled within the main server json file as a list of Reforger IDs, or a separate file?
VIP listed players get to jump the queue

Request Reason: Servers come with their costs and an incentive for our regulars to help with the costs, is to provide a VIP connection service, but also to as a perk for the members of the team as well. This is an established mechanism with other games and works well for rewarding people that deserve it.

I completely agree with this request and want to emphasize its importance for server admins and communities alike. The introduction of the queue system is a welcome improvement, but the lack of VIP queue functionality creates significant challenges for server management and sustainability.

As BigAsTTees pointed out, VIP access is a common and effective system in other games. It not only helps reward contributors and team members but also provides a fair way to cover server costs by offering a meaningful perk for donors or supporters.

Additionally, without VIP queues, admins are hindered in their ability to moderate effectively. Admins often need immediate access to address issues, but the current system forces them to wait in line, even when urgent action is required.

Implementing a VIP queue feature, manageable via Reforger IDs in a JSON file, would solve both these problems while fostering healthier server communities. It’s a win-win for players and admins alike.

Thank you for considering this essential improvement!

Completely agree with both of the comments above. There is very little incentive for server owners and admins to carry on hosting. Server costs are huge and a VIP system (as in other games) is absolutely essential.

I agree with all the above, the queueing sytem is a great idea but severly effects the owners ability to moderate there servers
