They're coming soon! I'm coding the donation system right now, it should be in by tomorrow. I had some irl delays today otherwise it would be in right now. It will start off with not that much items but then I'll add more stuff as I get ideas and such.

what about the UO 7th anniversary gifts? I need a bunny helm and some orange legs.

I want to add those in somehow, but donation might not be the best choice as I want to avoid adding armor/weapons, but I do have those items in mind to be added. Perhaps the specialty dealer, for lot of gold, or something. Or I could add them to the fel arty drop list.

There's actually still a lot left to do on the donation system, and I have this assignment due monday so I have to do it tomorrow which will waste time. So it will probably be up tomorrow night or the day after as I finish early then.

Word of advice: Do not add items that would unbalance the economy or the overall shard gameplay. Balanced items or items that have been proven to be balanced are best. Reason being, after somebody has paid for an item as a donation, and you decide to change the stats on it could lead to some uproar.

Yeah I'm being very cautious of what I add. Anything I add can't give the person an extra advantage, like a weapon or something. Unless it's already obtainable in the game, like I could perhaps add a few artifacts, but even then, not sure if I want to do that. Think it will be mostly ethys, skill deeds, and deco.

yeah, actually thats a good idea not to have the armor/weapons available for donation. They were just the first things that came to mind, since I bought them on OSI a few years back. There was that pruple plant that the petals gave you 5 str for 5 mins or somn like that. I had one of those and it was very handy.

I will add the sea horse, but since that could give some advantage (being able to run faster then a boat lol) they will also be available from the specialty dealer. Lot of stuff I'll make it available through other means in the game as well. The tank pet for example.

If you put in sea horses, you might also want to put in a method to transport bodies off the water. Because I know what's going to happen: "casts leviathan net in the middle of nowhere, lag on seahorse, die and get stuck on water".

For that one, you can look at the script that teleports new players to the nearest healer's hut and do something similar if they happen to get stuck on the water.

That would be entertaining. Make for an awesome packet vid. Faction wars on the skara brae waters.

Ok the donation system is coming along, its in testing phase right now and I will upload it hopefully tomorrow. I rather not put it up tonight in case I think of other possible bugs to check for and fix. I'm VERY paranoid right now though, about that .net bug, so I've been checking up on the shard every 5 minutes, and it's been stressing me since I don't know what's causing it, I just know it has to do with .net and it makes the shard shut off with no warning or log.

I need people to try the system out for me. I had one person try it and reported a problem at the paypal end, but I need more people to try it so I can know if it works or not. I can't test it since it won't let me send money to myself. The system part I coded works fine as far as I know, its the pay pal end. I've never worked with getting donations through pay pal before. I upgraded my account to a business account so I really can't see that it would cause issues. I will add more items shortly as well, such as soulstones/fragments (if they're coded) and maybe random deco.

I will add a 1kk check to donations made within this month, just as a thank you for testing it. (assuming it works, but I really see no reason why it can't)
