Well, I don't imagine that the rewards will be much so it's not worth getting upset over it all. I think it will be something like some badge in the forums or at most, some option to have a title in you name in-game. Something simple..

The point we should focus on is that we should all make efforts to contribute on a regular basis (monthly). Just treat this as you would have in the old EQ days (or for any current generation MMO). If you want to play, you need to pay. It's great that paying is an option here but it's not realistic to expect quality services without money to sustain the environment. Remember, the servers need to be hosted somewhere, network access / bandwidth, equipment maintenance, etc.
I know that money can be tight but every bit counts... even $5.00 / player/month would help. We all want to play on servers which are stable and can handle the load so let's all do our part to encourage others to donate on a regular basis.
