This is the question that I've been thinking about in the last few days. Donation. Since the game is free, now you rely only on the initial sign up ranks - I think !?! I started to think about that after I read the article for the faction's war where you Armegon mentioned: "Gather the whole fraction and put it into the war." - If I'm right this means you need a good Dedicated server which costs probably more than a thousand $ a month ( I guess as I'm working in a huge hosting company as customer support) so you can handle all that people and the whole server stable with no lag. Which brought me to thinking that these ranks (Supporter and Honored) won't work in the long term. So my question is - Is there a planned Donation system and if YES, then what it will be, what are you planning to include in it ( Items? Some more ranks? Titles? Cosmetics?). I'm just curious because this affects both players and developers.

Hello Petar,
I've changed the category of your topic.
Thank you for your question. Donation system will be announced and it will provide unique perks. Non however will include Items or anything else which can make your hero more powerful. More cosmetics oriented.
On top of that you'll be able to change the appearance of your items to look like others with paid Transmogrification Tokens, also you'll be able to change the color of your spells again with purchase.
Kind regards,
Armegon

I'm only glad to hear that the Donation will not be oriented to items at all as I believe this will keep the game balanced and will make powerful those who are most devoted to the game as I personally believe this is how every good game should be. I trust in you Armegon, that you man, will make a decent game that will bring joy to many of us...... And many good stories to tell to those who shall follow us. And once again thanks for the information and quick response.
Best wishes,
Petar
Just a bit of suggestion here. You could make donation system with goals/achievements. What I mean is that if there are for example mounts for 10€ or anything else. Completing a goal of 50€ will give you something else. Next goal is 75,100,150,200€ probably it should be capped or if not capped you should consider account wide options for these perks and probably non-soulbond items just to populate the auction houses :)
