no donation awards please. I think you lose credibility in many people's mind if you can buy or donate for items.

Some ideas here are decent and will be used, but we haven't gotten a whole lot of great ideas. Ingame titles are a good example of something we will probably do, but more like a small Prefix (Like "$"), and not any lastname titles. Keep coming up with ideas like that that aren't empowering.

In game titles should be at a high price point.

My suggestion is to make it something cool instead of "$," "Lord" and "Lady" would work extremely well imo. You could have a policy that if a player reaches a cumulative price point of $100+ in donations (for example) within a one-year period, he or she get's the "Lord/Lady" prefix for a 1 year period after reaching that level.

This system would work well with lesser rewards for individual donations, and would give an additional drive to keep donating over time to eventually get that super cool title. Alternatively, it would tip the balance for those capable of donating larger sums at once; perhaps they would throw down a C for that title. $10 here and $5 there is nice, but I think you guys would do very well to make this exclusive enough so that EVERYONE doesn't have it, yet accessible enough so that over time, anyone who really does want it can get it.

Multi-Stat Buff Potions:
Stackable, +20 to all, duration 1 hour. 6pack = $5
Illusion Potions:
Duration 2 hours, lasts through zoning, Regular/Advanced/Premium (playerraces/commonmob/raremob). 6pack = $5/$10/$25 (mix and match order)
Stat Reset:
Place order with desired stat setup. 1 time = $25
Name Change: (flame on!)
Place order with desired name. 1 time = $50
Custom Stein:
Maybe a different model of stein, maybe "moggok" model, no stats, all/all, clicky summon some specific kind or even better a random type of alcohol 10 second cast time with a cool particle effect. 100 charges = $10 or Unlimited charges = $50
Item Renames and Custom Icons:
Renames are something you used to be able to earn with quest-points in many MuDs back in the dizzy. From simple things like "Hasbinbad's Crystalline Spear" to sets of "Nethervoid Shadow Walker Platemail Greaves." Icon changes would not change how your item looks on your character, but just to customize your icons when you see your inventory or inspect someone. 1 rename or icon = $15

I could go on and on..

Being able to purchase stuff that will help you in-game is an incredibly bad idea in my opinion, and a very slippery slope. Also, as I stated earlier, this would for sure be infringing on the rights of Sony. Stick with board titles - and perhaps even in-game titles, but stay away from custom items/potions/buffs/services.

Infringing on the rights of sony? You're insane. The money is being donated to keeping the server run, and the items given in return are not sold, but also given as a reward. Now what WOULD be infringing on the rights, would be if Rogean charged us to play here.

It doesn't matter if the items are "rewarded" for donations or sold. Speaking as a 3rd year law student I can assure you, that there is little to no legal difference between this and selling them. Also whether the money goes to maintaining the server or the developers own pockets is completely irrelevant.

I love the idea of being able to buy titles such as 'Lord' and 'Lady'. Other examples like Baron/Baroness, Duke, Vicount etc.
