I'm putting my selections in bold. 'v'
1. Are you in support of Upgrading Accounts?
-a. No
-b. Yes
2. Which form would you like an Upgrade?
-a. Single-Option Bundle (all perks in one package)
-b. Singular Perks available Separately
3. How much would you pay for a Bundle Upgrade *per Month*?
-a. $5-10 (500-100 Gems)
-b. $10-15 (1000-1500 Gems)
4. How much would you pay for a Single Perk *per Month*?
-a. Less than $5- Most sites that offer Premium Membership are $5/month for multiple perks, so charging $5+ for a single perk sounds like a poor choice to me. ): Perhaps $2.5 for a single perk?
-b. More than $5
5. What COSMETIC Perks would you like/use most? Choose any that apply.
If you like all just say ALL
-a. Forum Vista
-b. Daily Autofeed
-c. Bond All Familiars
-d. Ad Removal- I'm too lazy to use adblock.
-e. Other; (insert your idea(s) here)
6. How should Upgrade(s) be bought?
-a. Gems Only
-b. Cash Only
-c. Cash or Gems
7. Should Upgrade(s) be direct to the Account or a Trade/Sell/Use-able item?
-a. Direct Usage to Account
-b. Movable Item- If you bought one to sell, it'd be a nice way to spread the Premium love and earn yourself some extra Treasure in the process. Several other sites I play have their Premium upgrades as movable items, and that idea seems to work out nicely for them.
1. Are you in support of Upgrading Accounts?
-b. Yes
It's a win-win situation for both sides. It ensures financial sustainability for the server plus it makes advertisement not a necessity, making the site safer for people without ad blockers (Adservers are targeted by hackers to place infecting banners on).
2. Which form would you like an Upgrade?
-a. Single-Option Bundle (all perks in one package)
I don't want to pay multiple times to get full premium. Besides, multiple types of premium enhancements can be observed as a rip-off.
3. How much would you pay for a Bundle Upgrade *per Month*?
-a. $5-10 (500-1000 Gems)
15 USD a month is too much for a browser game.
15 USD is what you pay for dedicated client 3D MMOs.
Another browsergame that offers non-p2w premium to disable ads on only wants about 2.50 USD a month!
$5 is tolerable, but $10 is borderline expensive.
4. Skipped. See above why.
5. What COSMETIC Perks would you like/use most? Choose any that apply.
If you like all just say ALL
-a. Forum Vista
-d. Ad Removal
These are the only acceptable perks. Anything else is giving an advantage.
6. How should Upgrade(s) be bought?
-a. Gems only
Should cost hard gems. Else treasure grinders will not only put too much stress on the servers, but also get premium for not sustaining the server financially.
7. Should Upgrade(s) be direct to the Account or a Trade/Sell/Use-able item?
-b. Movable Item
This allows people who wish to buy multiple months at the same to do so but also allows people to buy premium for other players (or even auction it for treasure)

Personally I don't think Daily Autofeed is a good idea as it would essentially sap the food points without your consent. I often breed to exalt and generally the day my hatchlings grow up I don't feed immediately as its directly into the coli with the hatchlings and I exalt them when they reach level 5-7 and sometimes their hunger levels are quite low. After the newly leveled hatchlings are exalted I feed. Daily Autofeed in this case would essentially mean I'm feeding dragons that I normally wouldn't. As such I would not buy any perk or bundle that had Daily Autofeed in it

I'd be more than willing to pay monthly fee of roughly 5$ - 10$ if it would remove the advertisements and give me pretty cosmetic changes only

Replies may be slow, so sorry ;w;
@
Ettanin firstly, thank you for taking the poll :)
However, I'd like to disagree that Bonding Familiars is an unfair advantage. People like me are going to bond them all one way or another, this would just save time and bandwidth. :3
@
DragonSage thanks for letting me know about the Forum Vista info!
It's been unanimous from everyone who's posted that potential Upgrades should only be cosmetic/convenient without providing any game advantage. *nods*

@
Ettanin saving bandwidth for the site is a good thing. It's less stress on the servers o_o
I'm really struggling to understand how you find it to be unfair?
And the time thing, even at 40+ familiars it typically takes maybe... less than 5 minutes? It's just however long it takes for the site to load. Which takes up bandwidth. It's not an advantage to the player, it's for the site itself.
But I don't have to understand, it's your own opinion.

1. Are you in support of Upgrading Accounts?
-b. Yes
Contingent on an answer below in the poll. I will only support if a certain condition is met. (See question 6)
2. Which form would you like an Upgrade?
-a. Single-Option Bundle (all perks in one package)
-b. Singular Perks available Separately
Both. Can I say both? I think people should have the option to pick and choose what they want and have an option to bundle them all together, if that's what they want instead.
3. How much would you pay for a Bundle Upgrade *per Month*?
-a. $5-10 (500-1000 Gems)
4. How much would you pay for a Single Perk *per Month*? UPDATED!
-a. $3 or Less
Since we're working with single perks in this question, I think the price should be fairly low a lot of sites have their whole upgrade package for between 5 and 10 bucks.
5. What COSMETIC Perks would you like/use most? Choose any that apply.
If you like all just say ALL
-a. Forum Vista
-c. Bond All Familiars
-d. Ad Removal
Not fond of the autofeed idea. I mean,I might use it sometimes, like if I was going out of town or something, but I wouldn't necessarily want it to autofeed because sometimes I'm just holding dragons I am about to be rid of. Would want it to have a toggle switch in my options to turn autofeed on or off. The rest, I'd probably use.
6. How should Upgrade(s) be bought?
-a. Gems Only
This is the only way I will ever support an upgraded account. Gems can be gotten on site by treasure purchases from other players, by selling things for gems, even by opening chests and such. This makes it fairer for players who cannot spend money on the game. I can get gems if I want them without having to put in money, and that's what I'd expect for an upgraded membership.
7. Should Upgrade(s) be direct to the Account or a Trade/Sell/Use-able item?
-b. Movable Item
I've always been fond of the idea of gifting upgraded accounts to people, so I'd like that idea here.
8. Optional Any additional comments?
Not that I can think of.

1. Are you in support of Upgrading Accounts?
No
2. Which form would you like an Upgrade?
Both Single-Option Bundle (all perks in one package) and Singular Perks available Separately. So if there's one perk one would like they could get that instead of paying for all of them, but at the same time giving people who might like them all a little cheaper option.
3. How much would you pay for a Bundle Upgrade *per Month*?
I hate buying anything pr. "month". If I'd really like something I'd rather pay under $5 since it's temporary.
4. How much would you pay for a Single Perk *per Month*? UPDATED!
Again don't like buying things temporary.
5. What COSMETIC Perks would you like/use most? Choose any that apply.
A and C, since I've always liked the vistas and familiar bonding can be a pain sometimes.
6. How should Upgrade(s) be bought?
Cash or Gems.
7. Should Upgrade(s) be direct to the Account or a Trade/Sell/Use-able item?
Direct since one could just buy the currency needed for it.
8. Optional Any additional comments?
I'd like the option of permanent perks more then temporary ones, even if it then would cost a lot more.
