In-Game V.I.P. Access - $30 USD

Spoiler: V.I.P. Benefits and Information

V.I.P. Features:

35 Unique V.I.P. Exclusive Jobs
- V.I.P. access unlocks the ability to play 35 unique and exclusive jobs in-game. These jobs feature a plethora of unique player models, SWEPs (weapons), spells, and abilities that are only available via these jobs. You can find these jobs with further details listed below.
5 Unique V.I.P. Exclusive Spells
- V.I.P. access unlocks 5 unique spells, Avian Conjure (bird-spawning spell), Purple Firecrackers, Expand (human-expanding spell), Bubblius, and Starlight Chroma (a colored version of the standard Starlight spell).
Early Prestige Wand Unlocks + Exclusive Wand
- Early unlock of all the wands that can be earned via the prestige system, Basic Wand, Emerald Wand, Frost Wand, Galaxy Wand, Simple Wand, Heroic Wand, Wand of Power, and the exclusive Soldering Iron Wand.
Chat Tag and Perks
- V.I.P. access unlocks a V.I.P. chat tag in-game, all chat emotes, and access to all chat perks such as text colors and effects.
Dorm Selection
- The ability to select or play as any dorm at any time by simply selecting any dorm job at will.
Discord Role
- V.I.P. role in the Galaxy of Magic Discord upon request in #request-role-here.
Increased Roleplay Freedom
- With all of the unique jobs, spells, wands, and more, that you unlock by donating for V.I.P. access, you open up an entire arsenal of roleplay opportunities and freedom that you wouldn't have otherwise. This can greatly enhance your experience on the server.
Exp & Spell Obtaining Advantage
- With V.I.P. having the ability to select any dorm at any time, it essentially gives you the choice of what classes you wish to attend between the two current classes at any given time on the class system. This gives you a slight advantage over those who are not V.I.P. since they are stuck to only one dorm and can only attend what class their specific dorm currently has on the class system. You will have the opportunity to learn spells faster and or level up faster via obtaining homework more frequently, while also allowing you to choose between which to get in certain instances. For example, If the two current active classes are a spell class, and a homework class, you can choose which to collect between the homework from the homework class or the spell from the spell class. To be clear, you do however have to choose between one or the other per class period, as you can only collect either one homework book or one spellbook per class period. Otherwise, if both current classes are spell classes, you can choose which spell you'd prefer that was chosen by the instructors of each respective class to be taught, from either of the current classes. You just need to be sure that you are currently playing a job related to one of the dorms that have the current class you decide to go to.

Custom Donator Jobs & Whitelists - USD (Varied)

Spoiler: Custom Donator Jobs and Whitelists Information

General Information:

Custom Donator Jobs have no relation to V.I.P. nor Open Whitelist Donator Jobs. Custom Donator Jobs are personal jobs that individuals have donated for, for personal use. The donation costs of Custom Donator Jobs vary vastly and entirely on all of the requested details per job. Since the list of details, restrictions, and regulations regarding Custom Donator Jobs is quite extensive, it is in our best interest to simply have you send your Custom Donator Job ideas or requests to The Guy's (community owner) business email for discussion. Every detail, small and large, must be approved according to server guidelines. However, it's worth noting that, unfortunately, due to the limitations that we face with Garry's Mod, the availability for new Custom Donator Jobs tends to be quite rare or even closed off a majority of the time. However, if you are interested in donating for your own personal Custom Donator Job, please email your Custom Donator Job ideas, details, or inquiries to The Guy's business email address at theguy@starbystargaming.com. Lastly, be aware, that due to the extremely limited nature of Custom Donator Jobs, as well as the amount of development work, specifically commissioned work, that tends to be necessary to have content for these jobs created, as well as the process of adding the content and jobs themselves onto the server, the donation costs for Custom Donator Jobs tend to be high.

Whitelist Information:

Whether or not you can donate for whitelist access to an already existing Custom Donator Job is entirely at the discretion of the owner of the desired job. It is your responsibility to both locate and contact the owner of the job or jobs you may be interested in. Do be wary, however, that it is extremely uncommon for owners of such jobs to allow whitelists to their jobs, especially if they do not know you personally. We respect the privacy of Custom Donator Job owners, so, unfortunately, no direct list of such owners will be provided. However, if you manage to track the owner of a job you are interested in, and they give you permission to donate to whitelist to their job, you can send proof of approval to The Guy's business email address at theguy@starbystargaming.com. With this proof, you will be provided with a response regarding the donation cost of the job you were approved for. Whitelists donation costs to Custom Donator Jobs also vary per job. The factors that determine cost are but are not limited to; the rarity of allowed whitelists, the demand of the job, the job's freedom and abilities, and the amount of current whitelisted persons. Since all these factors are in play, the donation cost of whitelisting to a job is subject to change at any time.

*DISCLAIMER* Please be aware that when you donate for a whitelist to a job you were approved for, you are acknowledging the risks involved. These risks are and are not limited to, the job potentially being removed due to the owner's inactivity and your whitelist to the job being obviously lost for this purpose, or, due to lack of existing whitelists on the job, the job is removed with no warning to the whitelisted persons. If a job that you have whitelist access to loses its owner, and a new person donates to obtain ownership of the job, the new owner will have the ability to remove your whitelist by offering you a personal refund of your donation to SBS. If you refuse this offer, your whitelist will be revoked with no refund. If privacy is a concern, there is an alternative as well. The new owner of the job can instead donate your whitelist refund to SBS as a credit for or towards a future donation reward of your choice.

*Please be well aware that donating is completely optional. We do not require any form of a donation to play on our game servers, nor do we expect donations.*
