Why every server keep calling them 'Donation' when, as a matter of a fact, you buy a certain item for in-real currency.

Same way when you pay NCSoft to buy In-game currency (NCoin) which you use in their marketplace.

 

Definition of donation according to wikipedia:

A donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable purposes and/or to benefit a cause.

Pretty self explanatory if you can speak English. Typically for charitable purposes or the benefit of a cause.

The cause is the server. 

Just like many donations in the word that reward you for donating, lineage2 donations reward you with in game items.

 

I recently backed a project in kickstarter.com which is basically donating to the company of the project and the company rewards me. 

 

It makes sense.

They dont want to sell anything. No sell - no legal obligations of any kind: they dont have to offer refund right and so on.

 

Its easier to call it donation and give something as reward. Yes is basically a sell but its way different in essence.

Should the donations be used to make some sort of profit out of the project?

This is the main reason why there are so many private servers out there.

Also their customers donators are more encouraged in giving to the server owner money, cause they think 100% of the money earned are used on the server.

It doesn't, but as a "thank you" you might give something in return. Besides the handshake and smile. :P

Just a bad coincidence that the gifts exchange happen right after the owner gets the money  :dat:

If you give something in return, then you actually bought it, and for sure most of the remaining players are buying the said item.

 

 

 

I guess it is something legal so the one who spent the money cannot actually ask a refund.

They call it "donation", because there was a server in the past, which made tens of thousands from selling in-game stuff, and has been closed by FBI. So, they decided to call it donation, but this word has nothing to do in the current situation with those greedy uncappable idiots. :lol:

No "reward" in exchange, no donations. Period.

Its obvious that noone is gonna open a server ,and pay the maintance/dev/profit for time spend.The only way to make money its donation i guess.So,

if the problem lies between if someone actually worth the time spend in the server and the donation or not...

Most of the servers/admins dont deserve a single cent,so...

Its way too obvious what happens here,and there is no reason to even discuss it anyway

 

 

P.S When someone makes a charity into Unicef,i never heard of getting an african kid as a reward... Just saying

    • Expanding the dominion, the magical Scroll of Escape   The months passed and Orcis dominance over Aden was absolute. Everyone respected his leadership and authority. Now many of his highly ranked soldiers have learned the boat dance of invulnerability but the army had trouble mastering it.    The orc ordered his most loyal engineer, that stranger who his name we still query, to find a way to teach the dance to the solders to turn them into super-soldiers. The stranger searched and search ed and searched, but he could not make the dance easier. For a soldier, with his heavy armor and slow movement was confined to the limits that this shell provided.   But sometimes, the truth hides in simpler things. One day, after testing the dance on the boat many times, the stranger decided to call it a day. But he was too tired to walk back to the city from the Giran Harbor. So he opened his back and used a scroll of escape while still on the boat.  He visited the weapons store, then the church and later decided to go to the west gate of Giran, to do some light sparring with the random villagers.    To his surprise, he could not fight the villagers. Whenever they tried to swing on him, their sword bounced away. And so it came to the strnager, that its not the dance that makes Einhasad bless him with immortality. It's not gods themselves, but an inherent flaw of the mortal world.    And so ... he went to the king, with a bright idea, and a bunch of Scrolls of Escape in hand.   Master I know of a way. And I know of a thousand other ways to trick the gods and gain immortality without dancing infront of them. For it is not the blessing of Einhasad that gives us the gift.    The gods have erred, the world is flawed and only a redesign of the nature's principles can now stop us ...     Epilogue Years ago, there have been stories of people spontaneously blessed by Einhasad. People who would walk on Primeval Isle or in Sieges and be immortal. The elders of the world, the wise ones, never took notice, never acted. For years and years, the ancient magic went unnoticed, but the stranger, figured it out. There's no magic. There never was. And the only reason why the wise ones never figured it out, was cause they had their "telescopes" pointed to the wrong direction. For it's the insignificant, the in-exceptional places, where "magic begins" (If you find my stories interesting, the next story will be about a Canvas in School of Dark Arts that overflows with Ink)
    • I just found it funny that you reversed the reverse engineer champions. They won't like this for sure.    Anyway, the project vision is very good it is aligned with what the players need and want something that both e-global and l2reborn has failed to provide. These are stable projects, they are not good "games". And players play "games" they don't play "projects".  When no good "games" exist, they flock towards good "projects". Lineage 2 private scene has produced decent projects the last years, but no decent "game". I hope you are the first ones to do so.   Generally there are two axis that Lineage 2 needs to evolve on. Modern gaming concepts and the need to respect the aging player's time. So far, most projects treat these aspects as taboo, they seem so afraid to deviate from what they call "true" Lineage 2. But the reality is that times change, you can't stay static forever, you have to evolve. NCSoft failed,they are not paving the way no more. It is us now, the collective community that have to pave our own pathways. WoW has went the same way, private projects took initiative because the company (while not failed) could not steer the game towards what players want and need in 2026.    For that reason I believe your project is going towards the right direction. The four keystones listed in the vision is what I believe is the community really needs but clearly doesn't understand it wants, because noone so far has give them a glimspe of what is beyond their retail-like garden.    I personally don't respect projects like reborn and e-global. As "games", they are simply trash, regardless of their high professionalism as endeavors. They lack innovation, they lack creativity, they are simply good software products,     
    • Giving up has never been part of my mindset. I respect projects like Reborn and E-Global they've earned their reputation. But every successful project started with people saying it would fail. If everyone gave up because there was competition, nothing new would ever exist. Skepticism is completely fair, and I'm not asking anyone to blindly believe in promises. Judge us by what we release, not by assumptions. That's exactly why we're taking our time instead of rushing something unfinished. At the end of the day, time will tell. I'd rather try to build something different and fail than never try at all.
    • Good luck beating projects like reborn eglobal and other crap l can bet you will give up after 1 year or first grand opening after online drops😁  l am very sceptical if honestly, at least run test server first or make something to show 🙂
