It seems like when the game was just becoming popular, you guys had all sorts of perks for members. You had event games up the ying-yang, perks for donating to the game, perks for reporting abusers, free gold just for signing up and it was just a lot more enjoyable for everyone. I played very briefly at that time, maybe for a week or so and it was a good experience. Now, I've been back for a month and a bit now and it seems like everything like that is .. gone. You rarely, and in my case never, see event games. And no, I'm not saying there aren't any, but when you've played for a month at a pretty good clip during prime server hours and you've never seen ONE event game, that's got to be an indication of something. You also gain a very unappealing perk for donating to the server. I'm not saying you should expect ANYTHING, because that's not what a donation is about. However, if you have the means to do so, what's hurting you from letting anyone who donates choose from a specific grouping of prizes or something? The fact that we get hardly anything in comparison to the old days is what's been holding ME back from donating for sure. Some may say that makes me greedy but I don't think it does. I just know that it's not difficult to reward someone if they want to donate 20 dollars to the server. Same thing really applies to reporting abusers. This is the subject I'm least familiar with, so I won't really comment but it still seems like if we're helping out the community, it doesn't hurt to give out a prize. It's not like this game has an "economy" or anything. You can't trade gold or avatars, nobody can use anything they may get as a reward to barter or make deals. Maybe I don't understand the thought process of those in charge, but it seems like it's a very minor thing that would reward people for helping out the community. Also, let me just point out that I totally understand this is a rant and I'm probably completely wrong because I'm not sure how you guys are expecting things to work. It just seems like when I've been talking in-game to people, they're beginning to lose interest because you guys set the bar so high in the very beginning and now all the things that kept the game fresh and interesting for people have been getting fewer and fewer between. **Final disclaimer : This post is not intended to be rude, malicious or ignorant in any way, shape or form. It's just something I've noticed and I finally wanted to post about it to see if there's any reasoning behind it** |

lolol you have everything tied down pretty good. Meh, the members have enough rare avatars as it is. I suggest a hidden avatar shop. Anyways the perks are really good and if they keep coming you'll end up with nothing to give. I'd have to say aswell I haven't seen many guerilla events going on but ohwell. Donating .. you get a special rank xD.. also it's your own will to donate who cares if you get something or not. Uhm and I am pretty sure you get something for reporting a certain amount of times. [Notice - I reported 3 people in 2 days ^_^] I don't know where I am going with this but the perks are fine right now just maybe some more guerilla events happening and so far all the special events (not the guerilla ones) have been really special and cool. |

.Yeah, I miss the couple thousand GP you'd get from donating and the gold too but people abuse these things so blame them. |
