If you're considering 'donations' of any type, you need to become fully aware of and understand what is in our GNU GPL.

The quickest way to C&D's, and pursuant lawsuits, is to start charging to people to play on your server.

Nobody said anything about charging people to play. You let me worry about that.

Briefly. We left shortly after killing Xegony on the main progression path and I haven't logged on in years.


All in all some good feedback so far, keep it coming guys.

Yes, that is where that "grey area" comes into play with P2W.
Donations, to the best of my knowledge, should be strictly volunteer ? One is
kind of playing roulette with the paperwork having that in place.(one would think) ?

Accepting voluntary donations is fine. I can't think of any server on the green/orange list that doesn't. As long as you aren't charging people for access to the server, which I'm a little baffled at how he extrapolated that from my post.

With that said would like to get back on-topic as much as possible.
