Hogwarts RP Donation Options
In-Game V.I.P. Access - $30 USD
VIP is our sole regulated donation option on the Hogwarts RP server, it requires a one time donation, and is a permanent gift. VIP gives you access to a VIP chat tag, all chat emotes/access to all chat perks like text colors/effects, access to nearly every job on the server, the ability to play as any house job at any time. This ability essentially gives you the choice of what classes to attend (between the two current classes), giving you the advantage over players who are not VIP since they are stuck to only one house and can only attend what class that house currently has on the class system, thus allowing you 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. If the two current classes are a spell class, and an exp giving class, you can choose which to grab (between homework aka exp or the spell in the spell class), or if it's two spell classes currently, you can choose which spell (that's chosen by the teacher to be taught) from either of the current classes you'd prefer to learn so long as you switch to one of the house jobs that currently has that class, when non VIP players can not. 39 VIP exclusive unique jobs, some with custom SWEPs, and even some with spells that are only available via those jobs. You will receive 5 VIP exclusive spells, Avis, Purple Firecrackers, Engorgio Skullus, Bubblius, and Color Lumos. Lastly, you will be rewarded an early unlock of ALL prestige wand unlocks that can be earned via prestiging.

To donate, you must manually do so through PayPal. This is the only method of donating that we currently offer. Sign into your account, or create an account at PayPal's website here. You can follow the steps pictured below to donate for VIP. Please allow up to 24 hours for your donator status to kick in, though this time of wait is highly unlikely. There is a chance your wait could be longer, and if you do end up waiting beyond this time frame, please contact our support center at: support@starbystargaming.com
Below is a detailed step by step process, with images, to assist you in donating properly.

Step 3:
In the amount section, put $30.00 USD, include what server you are donating to (Hogwarts RP), and your Steam ID. If you are outside of the United States, you can click the drop down pictured below, select USD, and it will automatically convert your currency to USD for you when you send it. Lastly, make sure you have "sending to a friend" selected in the highlighted section pictured below under the amount you're sending, since this is a donation, otherwise, it will send your donation as a 'goods and services' payment, which is incorrect, and will charge us a fee resulting in your donation being less than $30 USD. If you are using a business account, simply select the 'send to friends and family option' after selecting to send money. You should never donate any money you are worried about 'losing', as that's not the intention of a donation. If you chose to do so, do know we truly appreciate your contribution(s) to our community! When you are done, it should look exactly like the image below. To finish, simply press send. PS: If you do not know how to obtain your Steam ID, another short guide with images will be provided below.

If you donate and do not receive your VIP for whatever reason, feel free to send us an email or contact a staff member so they can contact the owner. PS: Should you dispute a donation, know that donations are not protected by buyer protection from PayPal. If you dispute, you will forfeit your VIP in-game and your money will go to waste.
Custom Jobs - USD (Varied)
Important note: Custom donator jobs have no relation to VIP and do not come with the regulated VIP donation. Custom donator jobs are personal jobs that individuals donated for, to be added for themselves to use. The costs of new custom jobs vary entirely on all the details requested per job. Since there are far too many restrictions and regulations surrounding custom jobs, it is best that you send your new custom job idea or request to The Guy's (community owner) business email for discussion. Every detail, small and large, must be approved according to server guidelines. Unfortunately, due to limitations of content we face on Garry's Mod, new custom jobs tend to be 'closed off' and unavailable to be donated for. However, if you are interested in donating for your own personal custom job, please email your custom job idea(s), details, or inquiries to The Guy's business email at: theguy@starbystargaming.com| Lastly, be aware, that due to the extremely limited nature of custom jobs, as well as the amount of work, specifically commissioned work, that tends to be necessary to have content for these jobs created, as well as the content and jobs themselves being implemented onto the server, the donation costs for custom jobs tend to be high.
Custom Job Whitelists - USD (Varied)
Whether or not you can whitelist to an already existing custom job is entirely at the discretion of the owner of the desired custom job. It is your responsibility to find, and contact the owner of the custom job you are interested in. Do be wary, however, if the job is not already 'open' (explained below) it is unlikely the owner will allow whitelists to the job, especially if they do not know you personally. We respect the privacy of custom job owners, so, unfortunately, no direct list of custom job 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 custom job, you can send proof of approval to The Guy's business email at: theguy@starbystargaming.com With this proof, you will be provided with a response of the donation cost/value of the job you were approved for. Whitelists to existing custom job's donation costs also vary per job. The factors that determine cost are: Rarity of allowed whitelists, demand of job, job freedom and abilities, and the amount of current whitelisted persons. Since all these factors are in play, the cost of whitelisting to a job is subject to change anytime. Lastly, when you donate for whitelist to a custom job you were approved for, you are acknowledging the risks involved. These risks are, and 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.
There is, however, a small list of custom jobs that are 'open' and available to donate for whitelist to at any time, without the consent of the owner of the custom job. This is either because the owner has lost their ownership of the job, and no new owner will be provided, or, at the discretion of the job owner, the job has been opened for whitelists. The current list of custom jobs that do not require consent from the owner to be whitelisted to are:-
- Daily Prophet Journalist - $10 USD
- Warlock - $25 USD
- Yogi the Metamorphmagus - $15 USD
- Chopper the Dragon - $10 USD
- Hufflepuff Overwatch - $25 USD
- Metamorphmagus - $20 USD
- Wizengamot Justice - $10 USD
- Witch of the Forest - $25 USD
- Improper Use of Magic Office - $15 USD
- Dark Animagus Rogue - $20 USD
- Heir of Ravenclaw - $25 USD
- Horcrux Hunter - $25 USD
You are welcome to periodically check back to this page, as any time a custom job is opened for whitelists, it will be added to the above list. If you are interested in donating for one or more of these open custom jobs, you may do so following the steps provided and conveniently pictured in the "How to Donate" section below.
To donate, you must manually do so through PayPal. This is the only method of donating that we currently offer. Sign in to your account, or create an account at PayPal's website here. You can follow the steps pictured below to donate for custom job whitelist(s). Please allow up to 24 hours for your access to donated for job(s) to take effect, though this time of wait is highly unlikely. There is a chance your wait could be longer, and if you do end up waiting beyond this time frame, please contact our support center at: support@starbystargaming.com
