Donating for any tangible item in game would kill off my interest in this server so fast it would make your head spin. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I love the self ownage.

Does Ferok realize that he JUST SAID he didn't box in 1999 in the same breath as asking to be allowed to do it now?

Personally I think just still being able to play on this server is reward enough[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think maybe some folks (myself included) have been thinking of this the wrong way. You've already donated, and are trying to think of what you would like to reward you for it. I did it myself.

Those that have donated already realize the real reward: a continued server. The idea here is "what can we offer that will get MORE people to donate?"

That said, some kind of a "Server Supporter" tag on the forums would be nice.

When I say higher priority queue I mean setting up a $5.00 a month auto pay "subscription" to the future of the server. This server is a lot like open source you cant sell the product itself but you can sell services related to it. If some other guy getting his corpse out from under world before me means we get a extra co-located box just for the top 10 most popular zones I am fine with that.

If you want a star next to your name, you are donating for the wrong reasons.















And I hope you die of AIDs.

I was still in high school in 1999. This was a retort to the concept that very few people had the ability to box 10 years ago. My point is, that even as a student with no job, I was still able to box just 2 years later. Therefore, it stands to reason that someone in a slightly better position would probably be able to do so in 1999.

I had DSL in 1999, I just didn't have two PCs until 2001. If I was a working professional (such as I am now) in 1999, I wouldn't have had any problem fielding two PCs back then.

I understand that it wasn't particularly common back then. But even when I retired from EQ after GOD it wasn't especially common. I was one of maybe 2 or 3 people in a top server guild that boxed regularly... whenever that was. 2004 or 2005 maybe.
