I have asked this in the past, but have never received a direct response. If people donate/support Eldevin, can we know that the money we send through is going to be used for future efforts on Eldevin, or does it all just go to HCS income and therefore, go mainly to the development of other games.

 

It would be good to know if say there was an amount that Eldevin players could see their donations going towards for something to happen in Eldevin itself. Hell I may even come back if that was the case and start sending you guys some coin again.

 

I know that the money generated from Eldevin will have to go towards things like server costs and the minor maintenance that you guys do currently. But if there was a gauge (I guess sort of like kickstarter goals) where we could aim for things, eg raise $X for developer time to push out level 50, raise $Y for artist to make some new vanity, donate $Z amount in one go to have an artist create a vanity outfit tailored to you... Just some random examples.

 

I know I dont play anymore, only pop in occasionally to chat with people, but some transparency on this would be good, especially in the current state of the game.

I really like this idea, it could bring some new excitement to the game, ppl knowing that their money actually do helps support the game. The interesting thing would be seeing the money value from around the world, US, UK, Australia, Greece and Brazil to mention a few. I think it bring some more culture to the game, ppl being able to see their money from their countries might inspire others to play and donate to the game or even create a money race to see who donates the most. :P All in all I do like this idea and hope its at least giving some thought by the Cows to the maybe try this out. I know its wishful thinking but what the hell, why not!

I had this thing that I'd buy ep everytime there was an update and also buy supporter. I quit paying because of the announcement that developing would be slower. I pay for work like the real capitalist, because obviously of we pay, but nothing gets done, money aint goong right direction. Therefore this would be really cool thing to have.
BUYING ALL EP 6G/ea. Huge amounts of gold. Also buying all high level gear, gems and rares with gold. Will not run out of gold so your offer is always priority. Buying everything.

HCS propably will not do it because they have stopped working on eldevin and they work on other games so if they add this option less people will donate becasue they will see that their money goes towards to other games and not eldevins development

I think we all said this to hcs at one time or another this idea, and so far including other games, they have never done it as far as I can tell. They like to just rake in money and not have responsibility. Also some people in eldevin in these forums have already raved that no mater what, they will always pay hcs to play and will never stop, with people with that mentality, why not choose the easy option and keep it as is.

 

Like if they set up a bar and goals etc, they would actually have to take responsibility to get it done when it is reached. Plus maninly just the extreme cases of player are left and hardcore players, even if they push something out, a few who may not be happy with end result might freak and try to sue them etc.

Hi there.

 

As Mojawk has said previously, Eldevin is here to stay. We do hope in the future to provide more content but we have no timeframe for its implementation.
