In many games, where I saw "donator-items" being sold for in-game currency, those items still cost so much in-game currency that only those who already paid real cash for donator items could afford to purchase them with in-game currency.
And while it's possible to survive in a game, there's no way that someone who doesn't use such benefits could get as much out of it as someone who does use the benefits, they'll still spend for example two years to reach a certain level, get a certain item or power, while someone who just shells out the cash will get there in just a few days, so to say.
In that way, Cantr is the only game I know of where donating doesn't result in such an imbalance, as donators get nothing out of it other than the knowledge that they helped keep the server running, which should be enough for those that have the means (hint hint - c'mon... you know you want Cantr to be run from a 2-gazillion MHz server with 50 terabytes of HD space and 65536MB memory
)
But all joking aside, yeah, that's what I was talking about...
I'm giving that human-age a try, eventhough I'm not sure their user agreement fills me with confidence... basically it says "we can do whatever we want, when we want, and you can't do a dang thing", which extends to selling off e-mail addresses to spammers...
Oh well, next month I will have a new e-mail address anyway... hopefully... if my new isp will actually get it's paperwork straightened out...
