WHY DONATE?
Firstly, you donate to support the game, which is funded by the Developer
alone and game donors. This keeps it free and avoids having to charge a
monthly fee to each game player. Secondly, donating shows that you enjoy
the game and are willing to stay long-term beyond Beta and into Alpha.
This rewards the developer for the time and effort spent in building and
debugging the game. In return, the donor gets the donation gifts as a
Thank You for their support.
DONATION INSTRUCTIONS
*
Please make sure you mention your user-id
when making a donation. If paying via PayPal, mention your user-id
and instructions in the "comments" section.
IF you are sending a mailed donation, include a note with your user-id and
instructions. If you omit any details, it may delay processing your
donation further.
* If you wish to send your donation instructions after you do the donation on PayPal, please make sure to quote the Donation Receipt ID so that your donation instructions can be matched up with your donation receipt (which is often sent from a separate e-mail address and thus is difficult to match up with) and ensure that your donation is not delayed.
RECEIPTS
* Note that you don't have to send us a
receipt of your payment. A receipt is issued automatically
after you make your PayPal payment and includes any "comments" that you
add onto the donation payment.
WAITING PERIOD
* A lottery ticket or cash donation takes about 1-2 weeks to be credited
after a donation is accepted.
A custom item, land donations or a royal job takes from 2-4 weeks to
set-up. A capital city or a new realm takes about a month to set up.
REFUNDS
Note that we will not refund donations after THREE DAYS of receipt
except if the donor makes a mistake (e.g. you accidentally paid twice in
PayPal instead of doing it only once, or paid $100 when you intended to
pay $10 only).

configuration and be capable of doing things that other items in the game
can. A new custom item for example, should not require new or special
programming. It should follow along existing programming abilities at the
time the donation was made.
