Thanks

- don't want to get your hopes up, but I am seriously considering putting no boosts option back and adding different combinations to the mix (boost but no race bonuses, race bonuses but no boosts, everything, nothing)

I love you.

@Awesome I don't squeal, but if I figure out where you live you might...

Good luck getting here. I have wookie guards patrolling my house 24/7.

Yay! People have been talking here about exactly these 4 options quite a while ago. Me personally, I don't mind, cause I like boosts and race bonuses, but the more options the merrier!

I should've guessed it...

To increase your motivation a bit, I decided to give something unique to every one who donates $5 or more. I am not sure what is it going to be yet, but probably nothing that would give you in-game advantage. I don't want people to react to this reward like they react to the dragons (kicks etc). I am thinking something like special level icon, or special name color, something like that. You can post your ideas about what this reward should be.

Maybe you should have it like Kickstarter rewards, adding more as you go higher, maybe like:

$5 Special Name Color
$15 Special Name Color + Beta Testing VW 2.0 Before it Goes Public
$30 Special Name Color + Beta Testing VW 2.0 Before it Goes Public + Shard Bonus
$50 Special Name Color + Beta Testing VW 2.0 Before it Goes Public + Shard Bonus + Special Race
$75 Special Name Color + Beta Testing VW 2.0 Before it Goes Public + Shard Bonus + Special Race + Special Badge
>$75 Special Name Color + Beta Testing VW 2.0 Before it Goes Public + Shard Bonus + Special Race + Special Badge + Additional Money Goes to Warcoins

Obviously you wouldn't have to have these exactly, but I think it would be a good idea to have increased incentives for higher donations, otherwise most people will just donate $5 and be done.

Great ideas, only that the last one doesn't make full sense - Warcoins can be purchased with money as it is, so donating over $75 to get Warcoins is redundant, unless this way the coins cost less...

i would donate but i have afew reasons why i cant
1.Age
2. no money
3.no credit/debit card (because of age)
3.no job
4.parents wont help
5.bet you didnt notice 2 #3s

but i will give tons of moral support

I don't think that every person that can't donate needs to point that out by making a post, but it's great that people care enough to post about it anyway...

And yes, I know I made 4 posts in a row - they are all concerning different matters.

The main point is just so that people don't have a reason to stop donating at that point.

Yeah, obviously... Good idea, anyway!

Day three, no donations.
Another thing to add to the list of potential developments is spectator mode for ALL registered users.
