Not to mention "GM abuse" phrase has got entirely different meaning when money are involved. So - no. And this is official statement.

yeah items wouldnt do much, cause if you get a gauss rifle for example you can easily lose it, run out of bullets and as it said it would be a disadvantage against other players. If i were a dev, i would make a skin auction for donation. Lets say 2 euros and a skin till next wipe :>

And by the way, you could say that skins are buggy and bla bla, but many people have those buggy skins anyway so i dont see the difference :>

or we could sell costumes, like different coloured robes.
Isn't the armour just overwriting the regular spritesheet with a new one, the purple robes.
So maybe use the sprite overwrite to allow the usage of differently coloured robes, they are there just for decoration in any case.

It's a good thing you communicate on your funds.
In that way we know when it is urgent to give or not.

I agree with Cryofluid.
I will try to explain(not i think you are stupid but i speak not really good english) and give you a real example.

In november you have make a news like "We need your help" and many people have donated. And I remember I say "In 3 month they will do the same".
And it's happen .. And I think it will happend each 2-4 months

Why?
Because people don't donate between november and today.

Oh shit players are stingy?
No they are not (not all)

But why they don't donate?
Because they don't have information. ("Oh we can donate really?" "Oh they need funds?" "Yeah I want donate but I don't know where I can!" etc)

But they have a button, they just have to click on it!
Yes but no, we want more information, we want to know the situation ($$ €€) in real time and have a link in fonline2238.net not only on the dev blog.

In real time? you are crazy!
You can do a script fo this job which say :
Quote from: Donate
{The big button}
This month : 12,00€
We need : 60,00€
(link to info about price)
And become green when > 60€ and still you can donate, supplement of funds will be add for the next month.

====

So I say that because I see another project for a 2D game which have a dedied server too. And they have a donate system with paypal too. And they had the same problem .. admin have to cry each month "I don't want to pay alone the server for you!".
And after speak with the comunity he make that system and after that no more serious problem.
The only difference is that the project i speak isn't in developpement and is with a nice but little comunity(60 max) and need each month 80€
I hope with 300 players we can pay the server !

I can ask the admin of "the other project" how he make his script and if he want share it.
And to don't adversing the other project you can ask me more information in PM to see an example in the other project site.

How about saying "Thank you" for donations on forum or PM?

Thank you. Though I'd like to remind it's the other players who should be grateful too.

Well I havn't been on here in months... Last time I was on there wasn't an installer or even this site... I am excited to see what has changed in the wasteland. But anyway, I don't care about the item so much. But as far as that goes, there is nothing retarded about it. It doesn't have to give you an advantage, it could be anything. Even a decoration. What's the advantage there? "My tent is prettier than yours!" Lame.

You could also remark the donation fact in the in-game player's nickname colour; for example you can change the colour of the player's who donated game on gold. However, I think that the ability to choose any nickname colour would be bad thing, as it would bring chaos and mess. There also could be few stages, let say normal, silver and gold, depending on money sent, let say silver 1 euro, golden 10 euro. It would motivate people to donate and to donate much money. I think it should be a shame for a let say big faction lider to have just silver nickname.

But WTF, as Handyman and Reco said, why the hell do you want something in-game for donating ? Playing isn't enough for you ? If nobody pays, first you won't have something more than other players, but second you won't can play anymore...
