In my opinion, any rewards for donations should be strictly on the forums only. *Any* sort of reward in-game, regardless of how small it might be will only cause more drama and bitching, and we all know how much the Devs enjoy forums drama.
do·na·tion
–noun
1. an act or instance of presenting something as a gift, grant, or contribution.
2. a gift, as to a fund; contribution.
We should not expect anything in return for a donation, that's why it's called a donation. If the Devs do decide to give some sort of recognition, I think it could be a special colored forum name or some sort of benefactor tag, something along the lines of that. At most, maybe a sub-forum that only people who donate could screw around and feel important in.

I agree Trimm. The donations are intended as a means of helping to provide material support for the servers which we are enjoying. I donate and expect nothing other than being able to play on a (hopefully) stable server. I suspect that the reward part is just some little way of directly thanking members who donated. I would prefer to see nothing in game (title or otherwise) with an option to display something in your name in the forums (if so desired). Plus, anything in game would be cheapened anyway. Anything in the game which makes one stand out should be something which they played long hours and had some luck to obtain. This is why it was always desirable to see Najena spawn (for the Flowing Black Robe) or to get some rare drop weapon or armor. Everyone looks the same in the game and standing out should be a reward for efforts in the game.
Let's all try to donate monthly to keep the server running as smoothly as possible.
