Incentive for donation: p99 online store

[jilena]

I mean they could always cafe press it or something but I think their stuff kinda sucks.

If we decide to do server shirts, there is a silk screen shop downtown here that I have an in with. Could use their materials probably.

Worked there for a school year and then got replaced during the summer =(

They should sell things like a no-drop manastone and pre-nerf DE mask for 50$-75$ each. Priced high enough that most users won't buy any but when someone does its a nice donation that doesnt effect much in-game.

It would also be fair, since so many users came in late and never got a chance at these items.

Unfortunate imo

I think in game outfits or ceremonial weapons would be cool. As a previous poster said, make donations worth tokens, and then make special non-stat items worth x amount of tokens. One option might be to make a full suit of all/all black plate armor worth 50k in tokens, special unique shields & weapons maybe 10-30k, and perhaps a title "Sir / Lady" for a relatively high donation...

Wow. Do you idiots realize that this is exactly what killed EQ Live? You can't expect to offer loot for SALE and believe that gamers will still equate said loot with status. Stop being tools and donate, or don't and go back to paying $15 a month for World of Warshit. And buy your gold there, and buy your characters so you don't have to spend the time to level them. And buy your "For the Horde" T-Shirt, and your custom 6-button WoW mouse, and your replica Frostmorne, and your griffon baby plush action figure,

Bottom line, you shouldn't need an incentive to contribute to a community. It defeats the purpose. If that concept eludes you, you need to drink Drano, immediately. Nobody wants you making babies.

For west coast distribution, I have a really good friend that works at a silk screen shop too. He gets good shirts on the cheap!

Thoughts?

Give everyone that hasn't donated the prefix "Cheap Bastard" to their in game characters

Like the whole T-shirt idea. If it was something simple, I may not feel like such a gamer geek wearing one heh.

You can't sell anything in game or game changing. Manastones and guises are out for sure. Forum titles would be cool, In game titles would be cool as well, if they were like license plates and were unique.

Like if you bought a title, and the whole deal was that only one person per title. So if i wanted to be Wanderer Taluvill, I'd be the only Wanderer around.

Im sure glitch wants the title supreme overlord or something too. Theres a guaranteed sale there lol.

Unique titles would be unfair to those who joined after. A broad title as I said (Sir/Lady) would make it fair for everyone, and would also have those who donate stand out amongst others.
