I'm going to follow up on something Andrew mentioned in global this morning, that the EULA will not prohibit "feature" purchases that benefit the whole server, rather than one player. He mentioned the idea of allowing a player to purchase, say, 6 hours of double-earning, kit-free SG for everyone for $9.99 or $12.99. EDIT: @priMELval is absolutely right. The purchase should be for only one arena at any one time to be fair to people with kits. I meant to put that in to begin with, and forgot.
I think this is a great idea, and think we should give him feedback on it. My addition would be that the "feature" include a single line at the beginning of each "sponsored" match, like this:
"This DOUBLE, KIT-FREE SG MATCH is brought to you by the City of Lancaster! Have fun!" or
"This DOUBLE, KIT-FREE SG MATCH is brought to you by /warp debt! Have fun!"
The blue portion of the message would, of course, be chosen by the sponsoring player and approved by staff before it went out.
I will state in advance that if something like this is created for the server, I will buy it once per month at peak time on a Saturday night Eastern time.

I think the purchases should be per arena or something. Otherwise there'd be pretty much no chance of kit arenas and kits would be 100% useless.

Most servers that I play on that do boosters like this, always promote the player at least at the time of purchase so I don't think this hard to add at all.
I'd also like to add that I love the idea of all these boosters that give everyone stuff, it's so fun and it helps us feel more like a community.-

Pros-
SG is actually playable by and attractive to new players.
SG is attractive to older players too.
These mean more players staying past just 1 SG.
Cons-
People with kits may think these games are more often than they'd like and may not buy kits in the fut-- oh wait.-

But we're talking about SG here - An attractive feature, according to your own words. And because SG is an attractive feature, there will be more potential purchases of the booster, therefore we can make the booster last shorter and make more money from it, as it's unlikely that we'd see significantly less purchases of the booster since SG is an attractive feature.
Six hours would make sense if SG was a relatively unattractive feature. But that isn't the case, and we have a potential to make more money from the booster given the fact that it's an attractive feature.-

6 hours is a bit much though. How about 2 hours for $10.00?-

I am only for this suggestion if kits are usable in these arenas the same way they are usable in any normal arena.
If so, then +1 -

By boosting them, make them all kit free. Not that I sg in 1.9 anyway, but it'll help, I guess.

Anyways, I personally love the idea of boosters. I think this would be a really good idea for new players to experience sg. -

I haven't played the survival games in weeks, I hardly ever do. But if a user knows that people can effectively stop them from using their kits (that they bought with real money!) by paying a small sum of $10 ($40 for all 4 arenas) I believe it may convince them not to buy these features.
This would then result in a decrease in the quantity of Kit sales and reduce the income of the server.-
