I have this crazy idea for donation rewards.

Check this:

We get to play the closest thing to classic EQ there is.

For me personally, yes, that'd be a good enough reward, and there may very well be enough people donating regularly based just off that to keep the server up and running just fine.

However, there are probably a lot of people that need some sort of extra incentive to donate, and something non-game-changing could provide that incentive. Never underestimate peoples need for a bigger e-peen. Finding something low-overhead like a forum title or upgraded sig permissions would be fairly easy I think, and could be done by any volunteer forum admin (maybe mod?).

Alternatively, if there are NOT enough people donating without extra incentive to keep the server running, they could always take the server down for a bit each time funds run low and watch donations roll in like they apparently did last week [You must be logged in to view images.

Yeah maybe Rogean should post some spreadsheets and whatnot. I know nobody likes to lay out that kind of info but some people just need to see the numbers, might make them say oh, maybe I should donate. I still have yet to myself but my wife keeps paying off old bills thinking it's a good thing towards trying to get a car loan. :P The 30th being payday I will send some.

Do any of you donate via credit card? Or paypal only? Credit card seems risky, not that I don't trust the guys but is it secure etc?
