I don't know if they can legally get away with that or not. Or if it would ruffle feathers at Daybreak. But assuming it's not an issue in that regard I say go for it. Good way to get people donating and perhaps make it easier to launch new servers quicker *cough* Recycle Server *cough*

[Roonskee]

not classic

[Oleris]

not classic

What's not classic is the servers not going down 2 times a week for maintenance giving full repops 2-3x a week.

[captnamazing]

yes on pay2pop

[Pyrocat]

I'd be down for a donation bar at the top of the page. But it wouldn't have any effect.

[indiscriminate_hater]

maybe if it was to wipe it clean at 100%

[Baler]

You gunna ban us from da game ref?

We'd become a horrible WoW p2w server

[Itap]

I support this.

Of course you would.

But you don't approve of someone pre 60 binding in PoM due to the fact that it's overcrowded and all the loots dont go to you.

Perhaps you could say, it's not classic ;)

Don't support this.

It will sit at 95% while raid guilds mobilize and then they will spam it to 100% and be prepared for sim repop.

The server needs to reset with full respawns more often or more sim repops need to occur.

The spawn times have staggered across all 7 days of the week because we've not had them reset by the last 2-3 patches. This is not classic and it allows for one guild to much more easily monopolize all the content.

Mob spawns should overlap and the resets should occur a few times a month.

And additionally they should be full respawns in euro time because that's classic, right Daldaen?

[Lojik]

You should also have the option to donate and push the progress bar backwards

Lets not get too serious on this one men and grills.

Here's the real question:

If this is a not-for-profit enterprise, there's a threshold of funds that it needs to have to stay operational. If Rogean were below that threshold (from normal donations), I have to assume that he'd mention it. And we'd give more than we even do now because the need was identified.

I have no idea of the workings of the finances of this place, but I can imagine that too much money could be as much of a problem as too little. Assuming not-for-profit and that the books are kept straight.

I really have no idea. But I do have to believe that if they were hurting, they'd put out a call for more.

Typically yes Euro times were the full respawns. Crashes from overloading and subsequent resets happened during prime time as well.

Rogean or Nilbog in the past would say when the pot was getting a little low versus the costs but that was the most we ever got about the finances and the last time I remember that happening was probably 2010. The idea in this thread will most likely never happen because if they wanted us to have any idea of their finances it would already be disclosed, and it would also start throwing up flags for DBG.

The donation induced re-pop doesnt have to happen immediately upon reaching 100% - they could randomize it to eliminate this issue entirely.

[Rogean]

This is charging for a service, and will not happen.
