Is there a way to see if a server is a VIP server?
There is a VIP server thing now, and you pay 200 R$(As of April 2015), to get a server where only a few people can join you. I had some ideas that might work in later updates:
if game.VIPServer == true then
print("VIP Server!")
else
print("Regular Server!")
end
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if game:GetService("Players"):IsVIPServerOwner(player) then
print(player.Name.." is the owner of this VIP server!")
end
end)
print(game.VIPExpireDate) --String Value, can only be read from. print(game.DaysBeforeVIPExpire) --NumberValue, can only be read from
It would print something like:
[1/15/15]January 15, 2015

Is this a good idea to add? Or is there a way to see if it's a vip server and if there is a way to find who bought the server and when/what date is expires at.

The only thing I can find in the API is game.VIPServerId, which has the cryptic description, "A string that could identify the current server as a VIP server." I have no idea if it is a currently functioning feature, though you could test it if you have Robux to spare.
"Is this a good idea to add?" For knowing when the server will expire: I don't think it would be a bad addition, but I don't see how much use there would be for it. An alternative (which, at best, would be just an estimate), would be to store when the VIP server was first active in a Datastore (this would require that game.VIPServerId gives you a meaningful value, of course), and then compare that value to the current date, giving you an estimate of how long the server has existed, and thus how long until the server will be renewed or expired.
I've seen a suggestion that knowing the owner of the VIP server would allow scripts to grant extra permissions to that player, which seems like a good idea to me.
