Donate For Levels - Opinions Please.

[Provectus]

This is aimed at donators, especially those with precious free time who want to be able to keep up with people, or at least not fall miles behind. Something we want to strongly stress is we don't want people to be able to directly buy levels that will get you on par with the top people. We only want people to be able to buy themselves up to the general community (ideally a bit lower). As most people are now 180-220, with 10 or so at 220+, we want to add 3 options in (first one should of been done a few days ago, second should be done about now, third would be ideal for the weekend - They'll all go in then, if people agree);

£60 for level 149 char in full 120 kit with all the skills/spells for that level.
£100 for level 100RB char in full RB+1 kit with all of the skills/spells for that level - All quests for MW complete.
£150 for level 150RB char in full RB+1 kit, but with BoneWeapon (for your class) and Bone Armour - All quests for MW complete. - You may add an extra £10 (making it £160) to get a full Bone set, rather than just the weapon and armour.

Before you reply, please remember that the aim of donations is for people with spare money and little time to catch up, they're not there for every Tom, **** and Harry to buy their way through the game, this is why prices are so high, because very few people will use it. If you're going to make a "You're just running the server for money" post, don't bother, we've put updates miles before GG to the point that people who have little time and plenty of money are getting sick of waiting, as they're steadily falling miles behind everyone.

Think of it like this; 10 people donate for a £10 char at level 149, that's £100 but it's 10 people that probably have plenty of time are now a big step forwards. 1 person donates for a £100 char at level 149, that's the same £100, but as it's such a large amount, this person most definitely works a fair bit, thus doesn't have loads of free time, meaning they'll have the big jump forwards, but after that they'll go slow for a while, until the next donation levels are unlocked - Basically they'd never catch up to the top runners without excessive use of GGPets and ExpChests, so they'd more than likely keep up with the majority of the community.

Need more than that nubbins, people will easily be hitting 200 before saturday and pushing on to 220 to get in the new cave, at the least we can open up the first two options for this weekend, the third I'm a tad put off by, as RB1 is a fun little trip (though the last bit gets a bit grindy), which they'll miss out on.

Main thing I'm after is opinions on prices, it's very difficult to guess the balance between too much for players with lots of time and a bit of money, but not too much that it's a silly amount. >_<

No donation for levels end of!

[Provectus]

Screws over people who work lots and only have a bit of free time, I don't want people buying levels to the point they're up with the front runners, but they need to get on the tail end of the crowd at the least, or they won't be able to play.

[PoleDancer]

well in that case

if people want to donate for levels you should only be allowed to donated upto half the highest level in game e.g. say im the highest level in game at level 300, people can only donate to level 150, and thats it

Too much of a gap, the difference between 200 and 250RB2 is pretty immense, hell the difference between 220 and 249 is pretty big really, lol. Might be worth working out total exp for levels and seeing how much half of that adds up as, though I putting their level in relation to the majority of players, as one person could do what Alan did on HR and bomb past everyone, which would make the level donation cap thingy rather inaccurate.

It's unfortunate that in the last 23 hours I've had 30 minutes of sleep, or I'd be able to express myself better than this, lol. I'll have a sleep soonish and try for round 2 tonight, lol.

should only be able to donate to become half the level of any1 that plays the game regularly, so if someone wants to donate for a level they have to donate for the half of the level the lowest level regular player is and then they should have a reduced exp period. wasnt6 this discussed and then binned because it ruins many aspects of the game???

2 and counting.

[mousey]

ppl who dont get much time to play but can afford to donate can use exp pots surely?

2xexp = 1hr of lvling in 30mins 3x= 1hr 30mins of lvling in 30mins

i my self only do 2or3hrs of actual lvling a day

[Tsarin]

think it is still too soon to donate for levels really
