What I find most unique being a vip member on AR is basically the license system. Though its been forced on us due to rotten apples, its what keeps the mods alive as they should be. If you go to some other random free web that offers you X mod for X game, chances are you'll get banned really fast, well because its public. Over here in this close-knit community with friendly staffs to help you in various aspects like answering questions, troubleshoot for how to work on a mod etc, you won't find that problem of being banned (unless you purposely get rank 1 on a level 10 character, but thats besides the point). To put the cherry on top all of that, like what some other members have mentioned, the mods get updated very fast usually a couple of hours after the game has been patched.
Okay, forgive the long block of text, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staffs in AR for keeping this forum clean.
P.S : To all current and future VIP members, if you get a pm from some random dude saying they will pay X amount of money for game X,
first of all, don't give in to temptation, and second of all, big brother is watching you, and you can kiss your license good bye.
