Ok. I'm going to clue a few of you in who have no idea what you're talking about. I have had multiple successful WoW private servers that have been from 1st-30th on the WoWextremetop100 (Aka thousands of players on at a certain time).
Yes. Technically they are called "Donations", but guess what? They aren't going to be making enough money to support the servers by relying on the good Samaritans. The only reason it may work for a little while on here is because it's an actual project that hasn't been done before (CORRECTLY) and these guys seem to be nailing it. Sooner or later like most free to play games they will need to add more things to the donation list, unless they want to flood the webpages with ads. I'm assuming the only reason the prices are so high right now is they don't want everyone donating and then the amount of donators exceeds the amount of players allowed in the game. I donated 60$ before the gift shop even opened. All i'm saying is they need to spice up the gift shop items. PWO has theirs set to 300% shiny chance increase at 6$ a month (shitty game though). Which is actually way to high.
