Title: How to access private sources
Post by: Mobius on March 02, 2019, 11:06:31 AM

The project is under a freemium concept, which means you can contribute with code or donations, and get rewarded with latest source access.

Freemium is often used in MMO industry.
It's the fact to give access to a free content for all, but locking some aspects of features for subscribers.
On L2jMobius, the concept is similar, but there is a big difference in the term you can CONTRIBUTE and get updates for free.
So yes, contributors got more powers than subscribers, which got themselves more powers than free users.

In this topic you will find information concerning:

• Types of groups
• Subscriptions
• Terms of Agreement

TYPES OF GROUPS

Free Users

• When a free release is made, it will leave subscribers at least a month ahead no matter what.
• They get no support, nor hotfixes.
• They use old sources with unfixed stuff, free to them to update sources themselves (based on next free sources or not).
• They can donate in order to be up-to-date (subscriber).

Subscribers

• Access to Chat Box.
• Access to private forum boards.
• Access to private sources / changelog.
• Donating is your means to get early access.
• You get the sources as they are. You do not get a developer for your server.
• You can evolve from subscriber to contributor status if you're an active member.
• It is expected to share your work as the rest of us do. If proven you could assist but chose not to, you will be removed. Donating is not a free leech pass.
• At our discretion, we reserve the right to revoke your subscriber status without prior notice, should we deem it necessary for the general well-being of the project.

Contributors

• Subscribers, can reach this status making contributions. As in making a notable share each week, or an important implementation in the last month.
• Contributors are rewarded by contributor status, they got access to private sources / timeline and do not have to make any donation.
• When a contributor does not make any shares his account switches to free status. Effectively needing to make a monthly donation to remain to the project as a subscriber.
• It is expected to share your work as the rest of us do. If proven you could assist but chose not to, or try to seem active by lazy shares, your status will be removed.
