I think I would tend to donate more if there was more donation items available.

My sugestions would be to add these as purchasable items and adjust the price of other items as necesary:

- Exclusive donation mounts, like specialy colored bear mount, that can be killed if you die, that wouldnt give player any advantage in game and it wouldnt stop in-game mount economy as people would probably only use that mount in town, not often, and when they die with it, they either would donate again or purchase an in-game mount from a tamer.

- Special donation lantern that can be worn even if you wear a two hands weapon, like a bard, the lantern would still be equiped in the 2nd hand.

- RR Fireworks wand, not newbied. Could be cheap if limited charges, or more expensive if unlimited charges. Like 100 charges 1$, unlimited charges 5$.

- Tubs usable only by the person who donated, exactly like GM tailor tubs.

- More ideas to come soon...

You can add your own suggestions!

Thanks!

to be honest the whole donation items should be stuff that aren't accessible in the game. tubs/wands/mounts should be earned like anyone else and should not be as donation items.

all the other stuff that are donation items are things u cannot get in game eg. duelstone\ninja robes + hat\trees.

Fine but I still think it would be good for the server economy to be able to purchase special mounts unique for donators and such.

I personaly would be ready to spend 10$ each month for a unique mount, even if it could die as quick as a regular horse.

I<m sure we wouldnt lag so much if everyone donated, seeing how xs4all is doing at the moment with it<s game servers

Personaly, I will probably grab a mask and such, and house decorations too, but it would be great to buy donation items that can be consumed or lost, it would encourage more donations, that is why I talked about mounts.

I really think people should write what they want to pay for, even if its nothing that can give an advantage in-game, and maybe staff will keep a few ideas.

The server isn't hosted by xs4all anymore....Taran bought a pc/using his internet connection to host the shard with all the donation money ppl gave before.

We lag because we are from Quebec and the route it takes to go to sweden is through the USA unfortunatly.

tbh, donating money to gain in game is pretty lame, you donate to help the shard not to pay to get ahead

You really like to bash but you don't read.

First, I said it would encourage people to donate and that's true. Second, there are no donation items that will help a character at all. So it will just be decorations and such. Third, why do you even read this thread of you also don't donate.

Yes, offering more donation items could encourage people to donate more, but I agree with Luda. Things that help you get ahead in the game should not be something you can get from donating.


Tubs usable only by the person who donated, exactly like GM tailor tubs.
-This is an example of something you can use to get ahead in the game. Dye a bunch of cloth with this tub and sell the cloth. I see a direct correlation here between someone donating and getting more money in game.


Exclusive donation mounts, like specialy colored bear mount
-I feel this will take a bit of the market away from some people who worked really hard to GM animal taming. Also, there's a war bear available in the PVP Reward Stone



Personally, I think every donation item should be bound to a player. Ex: Kasa's. I people selling kasas and the only way I know of to get one is to donate.

Third, why do you even read this thread of you also don't donate.

Just because it doesn't say "Donar" or whatever next to someone's forum name doesn't necessarily mean they didn't donate. Maybe they did it anonymously... If you are assuming smoke didn't donate because it doesn't say "Donar" next his forum name, then you didn't donate either so you shouldn't take an issue with smoke's opinion...

I get your point eighty, and I get their point too. I guess if no one has original ideas anyway I'll just drop the thread.
