Donation Rewards

Boxing can harm the community. It can damper the need/want of grouping which in turn can effect others from finding groups etc..

If you want to box play on Shards of Dalaya..

Don't even start that shit in this thread.

For every 1¢ donated, you get to choose any in game item in the game for all 5 of your boxing accounts while juggling epic 2.0's it's the only fair way! You become a GM for every nickel donated and can get the /kill command for every 50 cents.

Once you start incentivising it, it really doesn't matter what the manner of incentive is. It's no longer a true donation.

However, incentivising it with anything that directly affects a person's abilities concerning the game becomes a legal concern, as they aren't allowed to charge for the product. Said incentivising then looks a lot like payment; it certainly would to SOE lawyers.

For this reason, I'd imagine they're legally unable to do anything other than give you some sort of title or something on the board, but I'm not a lawyer whether or not there's a loophole or not they could get through.

I actually offered the suggestion of allowing a single boxed alt with this in mind. I was expecting to be quickly shot down under this exact pretense. The fact that I wasn't thus shot down in this manner I find both surprising and intriguing.

Pretty much spot on. 2-boxing is a virtually dead issue on all fronts however. Life support is still on, but it's kicking strokes like a ball on a 3rd grade play ground, and we're leaving it that way for now. The overall health of the server is our concern.

How about...
-Back rub from Rogean.
-Home cooked meal from Wenai.
-Grass mowed by Aeo...

I also need someone to dust, take out the trash, and finish a few reports/essays for me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So not only do we spend hours a day working on the server, we would have to cater to people who help keep it running?

I realize its a joke, but it shows a mindset people have that they think we somehow are indebted to those who support the server. We aren't. We thank everyone who donates a lot as it does help keep the server running and us working to improve it but we benefit none whatsoever from the money, it all goes into hosting costs.

Ouch. It stings everytime I read it.

Be there shortly with a 50 gallon drum of Roundup and 50 pounds of salt. We'll go for that "new" yard look, Fallow. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What if you were to sell pdf files of a certificate that has your character name, and states something along the lines of being a proud member of the Project 1999 server? Could you take that money?

I'd gladly pay $20 for something like that! I'm not paying for the server, or anything EQ. I'm paying for my certificate.

A certificate to box would be worth $40 for sure AND thereby emulating the experience of some people being able to afford to box and others not. Not to mention generating sexy revenues for admins and mods. Oh yes.*errcoughcough* I mean just paying for the time spent on the dev changing that account restriction to two concurrent IP per login. Paying for time has always been the golden loophole in EQ.

I'm not saying I'd pay for a certificate to box. I'd pay for a certificate, that the Devs so tirelessly created for me, and I want to pay them directly for their hard work into making my certificate.
