Player Opinions Wanted

Ok players, I've had a few ideas for donations but I'd like to get a feel for player opinions before anything is or isn't done.  It's no secret that private servers run on the money they make, and we currently aren't making any.  For the last few months we've been operating at a loss.  And before you think I'm doing this for my own pockets, I'd like to remind you all that I don't get paid for anything I do here.  I do it because Ignis is a good friend of mine.

I would like to add an elite NPC buff option to our buffer, offering buffs that normally aren't offered for regular adena.  Keep in mind we will never add these buffs to the regular buffer.  This list will not include buffs obtained from Olympiad.  The buffs I would like to add are as follows:
Chant of Victory
Prophecy of Water
Song of champion
Song of renewal
Song of elemental
Dance of siren
Dance of shadows 
Dance of alignment 
Resist shock
Improved magic 
Improved shield
Improved critical
Improved movement
Improved combat
Improved condition 

These buffs would be offered for 100 GA a piece, so realistically the smallest donation would give you more than enough buff time to level your own additional buffers with GA left to spare.

Another idea I liked was adding the option for fame from the donations manager.  Ratio would be decided when and if the idea was voted for in a positive manner.

I want to hear your opinions, yes or no, about these ideas.  Any comments shown here that are rude, derogatory, useless flames, or off topic will be deleted and ignored.  If you want your ideas to be heard be sure to do so in a respectful manner.  Any other ideas would be welcomed to see here so we can discuss them as a community.

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

Well its seems all cool. Fame has always been pain in the ass to obtain.. Those who were/are heroes can do it faster couse of tokens but other people may not achieve their goals as fast as they would like to. As for NPC buffer elite its also cool, nevermind the olds couse they won't use it and I'm almost sure they are not donating, so for newbies these buffs will be beneficial and since they are new, they will donate for some reasons, FS 81 lets say and there will be extra GA left so they might just use them for buffs.

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

Also another suggestion on donate. I consider clan level q items would be bought from donate manager regardless of the player timing on the server since I've played quite decent time and its really damn boring to do those clan level 4/5 quests. Some people would just want to buy them from donate shop than do the q... Consider putting them on voting shop aswell...

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

I think those are good ideas.

By the way... Have you thought about adding Dual Sword Craft Stamp to the shop? It's been a week I don't play because it's annoying to play a high level character with B grade duals...

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

Adding clarity buff might just work as well :)
Also, for higher lvl folks some gear penalty removal runes might help.
Not sure if appropriate, but also some pay-for-beibg-apay-for-beibg-able-to-lvl-your-subs-to-85 could be nice - dorf mystics and those inspector lovers would be happy (make it like 1 more lvl for some ge, another fir more...) though this might need to be voted for and against by players, personally I don't think that will make much of a different for game balance.
PA stuff (x1.5-x2) + solo kamaloka + tickets to refresh some insts (kamaloka again, twins maybe).
And yet again - those events I suggested the other day could be nice.

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

Clarity is already offered in the NPC buffer. As for leveling sub-classes passed 80, I appreciate your suggesting it but that will not happen here.

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

I like the Elite NPC buffer idea. I believe that, including all of the buffs and making the Elite buffs last two hours, would really boost its usage.

Re: Player Opinions Wanted

Yep, sorry, did not notice the buff.
Concerning subs, I really cannot see why not :(
Assuming the low rates of the server, and thos pros 85 lvl sub offers (easy reroll to another class) this could be a good idea. I know couple a few projects with at least 1 sub allowed to lvl further than 80, not to mention NCsoft themselves supported the idea of two classes for one character (the dual class thingie). It just might worth putting up some voting :)
