You must have some problem, it is not possible … again the same thing, oce is not buying a commodity, donor planets is an inverse of rexx that aims only to please those who help you to keep turning HWS, that pate of that you Do not you understand, you eat grass by the roots?

I oppose donation because I donated money to the server under the expectation that it would be spent on alcohol and instead it was spent on a shortened domain name for the server that would improve life for everyone in the community.

This is a good point.

I suggest a “Buy Rex Beer Till He Likes It” donation option.

Edit: This should also be the only required “guranteed” donation where Rex has to post a video of him drinking the beer and pretending to like it.

People Really need to understand the meaning of the word donate…
by your logic your willing to enjoy and play on a server thats provided to you FREE OF CHARGE this mean no cost to you, Unless you choose to DONATE, This is in no means you purchasing a product, this is solely cause your a good guy and you are thankful for what the HWS team is providing for you, again FREE OF CHARGE. sadly it is not FREE OF CHARGE for the HWS team and as rex has stated he put his hand in his own pocket to fund this project initially.
No harm having donations and I for one think that its a great idea, its not to tempt you to donate its to thank you for doing so! lets face it the donation page could be a bland blank page where all you can do is simply donate with nothing in return. wouldnt stop me from wanting to donate because i appreciate what the team work so hard to provide us and i want to help as much as i can.
Pissed off with stupid people causeing issues and trouble when there is really no call for it. Show some bloody gratitude, this is not just directed at speco but to all who have posted similar responces to this donation topic, ive been watching for a while >:[

Sorry, forgot the :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it would be cool if each penthouse donator could just spawn their own class 1 BA structure wherever they want to.

I’m sure most ppl have different personal tastes.

Awesome! Speaking as a donator planet contributor, I think this is a great way to keep fueling the increasing costs for HWS servers. I feel like we’re still hitting the jackpot - I can’t imagine how much time Rexxus, etc. are putting into making this even possible.

In addition to the donation system it would be really neat if we could start up a more long term fundraising goal (by region) to help the HWS crew purchase an even more powerful server.

Thanks for the hard work!

This topic is no longer a banner. It will no longer appear at the top of every page.

Quick Info for 6.0:

Theme package prices:

I didn’t get a lot of feedback but since I spent the whole day in NPC Traders I saw that 7k per 100x Component slot is way too cheap. So I changed it to 17k.

A bit detailed:
Assuming that someone pushes 100 advanced constructors as npc package this is by far a multiple factor of the 5k resource theme price - which I also increased to 7k because of Hydrogen 999er and Pentaxid 999er stack sizes.

At least in 6.0 where we have pentaxid deposits this is the better approach.

At the moment it is bit weird, strange, questionable or whatever but see it at that point:

HWS had in pre alpha - 1.0 an own Marketplace + Elemental Bank giving you items. Then we had the Auto Miner inflation. The the 3% interest inflation. Then the countless dupes. and and and. We don’t have a kind of “normal” setup.

6.0 is the beginning of a normalization. Eleon Marketplace prices need to take NPC packages + Blackmarket prices into account. Gold distribution in the universe will be adjusted accordingly. Over time we try to achieve that new people are able to buy stuff no matter where and veterans can spend their “hard” earned money wisely too.

Thanks for always keep an eye on balance – Its an iterative process and most of us understand!

Ah and what I forgot to say:

In HWS Connect it is now title as “EM S” or “EM N”. In NA at least we have 2 trading rings now. North and South.

I updated the donator planet parts - more fitting for the future and adapted to current possibilities we have.

As always Rexxxus you guys seem to be doing an amazing job here in NA I brought my clan here on a recommendation from one of my members (DatNinja). I love the route you are going here, people may get upset thinking planets were forever but its unrealistic with the growth of the server and demand for planets. We are originally A.O.D (Army of Darkness) I have brought over 20 of my members here to the faction M.W.G but we still not even the largest faction this server and everything with it is amazing and hard work LOVE the garage by the way. Point is it will continue to draw more people, the idea of making more planets available will help with server costs and those who stop playing can allow others the opportunity to have their own. On the matter of a Pve server or expanding the main I would say Expand the main their are plenty of Pve areas available on the main server. The ability to mix up pvp players and pve players is quite awesome I believe this server will continue to grow and be the main server for a great many players. Keep up the good work .

HWS - «A leopard cannot change its spots»

…You still here ? Dude if you have such a big problem with Hws find another server…Sorry to be blunt but this is the largest server/community on empyrion for a reason! We won’t miss your bitching and moaning cause u don’t understand how donations work HWS shows appreciation towards appreciation (hence donators can choose a thank you package).

I’m quite fond of these spots.

There are Other seas for your fish, consider testing those waters. Most of us are comfy.
