You still get an extra one, but it's inherited from Iron.

Very nice read, Danny.

Although I am depressed about two things now. Liri left staff which I did not know and diamond no longer gets land :'(. We get nothing :( not even a shiny name anymore. In all seriousness I think that was a bad call. I see no reason in me upgrading now for more npcs. More things should be added for the higher ranking donaters. In my opinion.

Again - we are adding more in future, once we are capable of doing so when we get plugins that allow us to give good things.

The server rules have changed a large amount! We recommend that everyone reads them to ensure that they are fully aware of the new changes! Do so here.!

I'm going to guess that was supposed to be a link. Anyway, thanks for the update on everything!

I still think that the perks that I got when I donated over a year ago should still togiven to us, as a reward if you will for how long we have been here and shown our support. This will kill our guild's storage due to us not being able to have an actual storage when we did earlier due to donation change.

Although I see your motives behind taking away some of the Iron VIP perks, but I am slightly irritated. I have taken some time to cool down, and I hope that I can speak my opinion without starting a flame war, but if it happens, I apologize.

Firstly, I feel as if we had had this for a very long time, too long to lose it. I remember back in Aegis, on a Wolverine base outside of Kal'Urgan, we had all decided we would buy Iron VIP as it would greatly help us in bringing in new recruits. Nonetheless, had it not been for LWC, as much as I love this server, I would not have donated.

Secondly, I understand the argument to complaining about loss of perks is that these are donations, and we should receive the perks as gifts, but take away the gifts and I believe the amount of people donating would be much less. I went to Wikipedia and looked up the definition of Gift. Gift - A gift or a present is an object given without the expectation of payment. So I believe that renders that argument invalid.

Thirdly, now that we see that the perks are not gifts, but instead something given for payment, how do we know if our payments will last another year? What if it is decided that only $100 donors should receive certain aspects of LWC or that they should only get NPC's.

The point being made? I think that people who donated with certain perks in mind, should at least be grandfathered in and retain the perks that they had bought in the past, namely LWC perks, and people donating now should receive the new perks.

Apologies if anything comes of as a flame, as this was not at all intended. This is just what I think about the new Donation perks.
