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.

Illusion potions, maybe.
Stat buffs / exp potions, negative

The illusion potion idea is good, but I would probably do it like..
x amount of money for a potion of any playable race that your class would be able to start as
x+ amount of money for a potion of any playable race
maybe x++ amount of money for a potion of obtainable illusions.. skeleton, etc..

limited charges, probably 2 or 3

IMO, you guys could get quite a bit for PoS fairy model pots, large-model / small model planar mobs (kiraikuei, turmoil toads), efreeti model pots even..
People would use them for events or meetings and crap, and you could make them exclusive awards for your larger donators.

BTW I was thinking about the Lord/Lady titles.. $100 seems like a great price point for that if implemented, but what about the people that donate larger sums?

$1000 cumulative donations over a characters lifetime = ingame prefix "Saint."

Saint Hasbinbad Bearjew the Dragonslayer

Too bad I could never afford this! haha, but some of you daddy-fat-sacks already do donate in large chunks so I know this would be attainable over the course of this server!

That's the best idea, IMO

It doesn't change anything really in mechanics, and is easy to add.

People whining about it? *shrug* they're going to whine about a lot more than that if something that minor bugs them.

It would be kind of nice for prefix titles, since these will never be added from AA's.

Lady, Lord, Sir, Mrs, Ms, Mr, or some such simple titles. Nothing too fancy though ( i.e. no Lord of the Heavens, Destroyer of Worlds, etc )
