Your group plays on Saturday night, your regiment runs its line battle on Wednesday. To let them know, you post a link in your Discord… and that link said nothing about the session: not the time, not the cost, not whether there was enough left to pay for it.
Now it does.
What players see when they click
If your server has a schedule or a pool, its invite link opens on a full-page event page, on desktop and on mobile:
- The next session: the day and the hours, in your schedule’s time zone, with a “Happening now” badge once it has started.
- The cost of the session: the hours of the slot × your server’s price per hour. A started hour counts as a full one, just like on the bill.
- How many sessions a €5 top-up pays for. It is the smallest payment possible, so that is how we put it: on a server at €0.02 an hour, a session from 9 pm to 11:30 pm costs €0.06, and €5 pays for 83 of them.
- Each player’s share, as a guide: set the number of players with the − and + buttons.
- The pool paying for the server: how much is already in, a progress bar, and what is still needed to cover the session.
On the right, the usual panel to join the game: the address that never changes and, once signed in, a button to chip in your share.
With no schedule and no pool, the link stays the invite card you already know.
How to turn it on
- On your server’s page, open Schedule and add your slot (for example Saturday, 9 pm to 11:30 pm). The server starts and stops on its own.
- If you split the costs, create a pool from your Wallet and attach it to the server.
- In Share, create an invite link and post it wherever your group gets organised.
The guide A server for an event: pay for the evening, not the month runs the full numbers against a monthly plan.
What this doesn’t fix
- The cost is an estimate. The server is only billed once it is running, so the real bill can be a little lower; it is never computed on more than the slot.
- The pool balance is visible to anyone who has the link. Who paid what is not. If you don’t want it shown, don’t attach a pool to the server.
- Schedules are weekly. A one-off event on a specific date can’t be announced yet.
- Chipping in requires an account, and a card payment starts at €5.
