First of all I'm guessing this is not working in this way yet ..?
I mean I see everyone gets record outside of top15 in TA.

It is (supposed to be) working, just check it (look the MaxRank column): http://dedimania.net/tm2stats/?do=stat& … ow=RECORDS

You will also see many records above : http://dedimania.net/tm2stats/?do=stat& … ow=RECORDS
... but these ones were drove on a upgraded/premium server, or by an upgraded/premium player, so of course they can be above top15 !

Then, would be a difference if the account itself is paid or free? From here I understand, I have to pay dedimania to get 15+ TA maxrank BUT not necessairly pay for the game at all? Am I right?
If it's like that to me it seems a bit weird (but OK I understand you need money to rent the servers^^)

I don't think that actually i can differentiate paid and free Stadium² accounts. Perhaps that once the game will be released i will ask to Nadeo if there is a way, then eventually set a default maxrank 30 for paid accounts.
Anyway, paid or free accounts change nothing to me: i get nothing from Nadeo in any case.

tho I think some players will complain, because
- Some players play just TA all their Tm-life (exp. Veryshort/LOL players, "their" maps make little sense on Rnd mode)

As I said on some other forum, i just don't understand Nadeo's strategy here. TA mode iust the most played and the only one which is never used in competitions. Globally this means that casual players (90%?) will continue to play for free, and more serious ones (who have often already bought some other TM game) will have to pay.
I think that TA not free (and instead Rounds/ and/or Team and/or Cup free) and with a smaller price (maybe 4 or 5€?) would have been better for the TM community, for competitions (online and lans), and would have made more money...

Just hoping that they will change their strategy about it, there is still some time before the release 
At worse it makes a problem with those who already bought Stadium² if the price is reduced... maybe a 50% discount on Valley for them ? :p

- They pay the 8.99/9.99€ for the game
- ...aaand they will have the same maxrank as one player who never ever spent any money (aka free acc)
- ...aaand you will always find players who will just complain and dont donate 1 single € (hmm see some posts above maybe ..^^)

Yes, as always...  but hopefully not all of them

Hey Slig,

nice work - TM2-Dedis run fine. Many of our customers (TrackmaniaServer.org) want to upgrade their server-account, but a lot of them do not understand your payment system (I always give them the link to this forum topic). Is there any info-page that I can give to them, or could you create one? Just a suggestion.

Keep up the good work,

vni

ok great, thank you

Slig Hello, first of all thank you for the work you do every day I just donated 10 Euro so please update the following server:

server: rehround premium account top 80


Thanks for all

Andrea

No, 80 max for servers (but you are right, 2 servers were erroneously at 100: fixed now).

hello slig
What i see in comments is about TA mode which is 15? what is max dedimania you can have in rounds mode 30? so if do donations for servers rounds mode and ta mode are increased or only TA mode ? i have a few servers i want to do but confused as only mention TA mode. If i do donations for a server for 80 dedi thats on all rounds, ta or just ta mode?

hi slig
i sent you donations of 54 euro for 5 servers and player upgrade

No.
Dedimania records and premium/upgrades has nothing to do with the number of slots or the ladder rank of your server. 

By default, for free, on your server all players are able to make records up to rank 30 (except on stadium² in TA: rank 15 ; was because stadium² is supposed to be free in that mode once the beta finished).

You can make a donation to upgrade you server as dedimania premium, and then have players on it able to drive records up to rank 40, 60 or 80 (on dedimania).

Also, a player can upgrade his player account as dedimania premium, and then be able to drive records up to rank 40, 60, 80 or 100 (on dedimania) whatever server he plays on.

Done.
