The admin is right. This is a way to get people to help sustain server fees.

Awww Admin is right. But not everyone can top up because majority of the players in Philippines are kids (age 10+) who relied on game cards that can be bought in 7/11 or Mini Mart. Now kids cannot enjoy this game anymore because the items in the shop are expensive and now even songs are limited. It's sad that even regular songs from old servers are now BMP.

Now kids cannot enjoy this game anymore because the items in the shop are expensive and now even songs are limited. It's sad that even regular songs from old servers are now BMP. The items are now discounted. Unlimited items are also available now. 1 day note is just 300 cash while 7 days is 1500 cash. 1 day BMP is just 1000 cash which is about 20 PHP (but still, the minimum top-up is 5000 cash = 60 THB - converting THB to PHP, this makes the minimum top-up to 80 PHP or so). Game cards.. of course, we tried to avail cards but companies who provide game cards doesn't allow a private server to be its partner. They require a legit business or company before they can give us game cards to sell for top-up purposes. I have no update from the admin if he has plans about other top-up option or method but paypal is already the most convenient way just like other private servers from online games who relies on the "send money" option to avail items in game. Top-up using paypal or send money via western union - bandmaster.no-ip.biz/BandMaster/topup.htmlThose are the only options provided as of now.

There could be other ways, maybe like a refer-a-friend... If they refer a friend, they can get a little bit of cash if the friend plays enough or the friend buys cash?
Or a vote system, where you can post this server on private server lists, and give a little bit of cash when a player votes.
Or events where people can win cash.
The first two would also help increase the server population, which would also increase the amount of people who may buy cash. I don't know if it could be "risky" though, to increase the server's popularity...

Events... there are monthly events in game but rewards are items and is automatically rewarded by the system upon meeting the event requirements. Whenever I have a budget, I host extra events here in the forum but I am also broke so I can only spare a few dollars for forum events... lol. Rest assured that I will remind the team to be active on events.
Keep in mind that this is a private server. There are no connections or back up source to fund the hosting/server fees. As far as I know all expenses are paid for by DJ Pop and buying game cash is our way of helping him pay for the bills. We are all on the same boat... just regular players of the previous servers that volunteered to bring back the game and keep the game for as long as it can.

@topic.. There's nothing else I can say regarding this topic... Economy wise, the items are reasonably priced now. Players who enjoy the community feature of this game can appreciate the character customization and play some songs on the default or apply UCC on single practice mode.
Indeed, this is a free-to-play game but players have the option to play more songs and customize their character better when they buy cash. No one is forced to pay to play but as players of the previous servers, everyone has the same reaction regarding the update on the BMP song list. A lot of negative feedback but I believe the admin has a good reason for that action... and I trust that he'll do something about it or we just have to deal with it. All decisions and updates are done by DJ Pop alone but you can voice out your opinions and suggestions via facebook since he doesn't check here.
