Grendel Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you have a donation option you feel should be added to the game. Use the template below and reply with what you think should be added as a donation option.

SoS Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Donation description: 1% income bonus is added for each dollar donated. The bonus expires after one month. Price: $1 per 1% Effect: Most players could afford to donate a few bucks and receive a decent bonus. There would be a wide range of donation amounts that that would precisely fit what each player is able and willing to pay. The big spenders wouldn't receive a huge jump all at once, if the bonus is paid out as income over time. I believe this no min/no max and every increment in between, would bring in a ton of money from players that normally wouldn't donate. And larger amounts from regular donators. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereno Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Donation description: Tier your donations. Price(USD): Variable Effect: Not everybody wants to spend $15 bucks. I'm not trying to say you should implement microtransactions, but I do think having donor levels would be prudent so that the donation system can be efficient for persons of multiple income levels. Tier 1: $5.00 USD Result: $200,000 cash Tier 2: $10.00 USD Result: $300,000 cash Tier 3: $15.00 USD Result: $350,000 cash Every $5.00 extra, you get an increasingly less amount by half. The first $5 gets you $200,000, the next $5 gets you $100,000 more, and the final $5.00 gets you another $50,000 to make it $350,000. Because you can only donate once per month, those who want to get the maximum bonus would spend the $15.00 to get it anyway, while the less fortunate users, college students, etc. could still get a decent bonus for just $5.00 or $10.00 off the top of a paycheck one week. You want to get your money back and have this game run itself? This will help you to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good suggestion, next month when I announce the donations for October I'll see about doing something more tiered. The problem with doing $5 donations, however, is that PayPal takes are a hard cut of it along with a percentage. Larger donation amounts (even $10) are much more cost-effective from my side. Anyway, for next month maybe something like: $10 - $300,000 $15 - $400,000 $20 - $450,000 $25 - $475,000 $25 - Reset City/Project Timer 1 Quote Is there a bug?

Phiney Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Just FYI not sure how many donations you'll get from the top with them amounts. I make 200k a day ATM n by the end if the month will make easily over 350k a day. Not gunna donate 25 dollars for a day and a bits revenue. City timer reset is good but again doubt you'll see that used by the top as the main problem isn't time its money ATM. Just FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 can I suggest you accept Western Union as a form of remittance for donation? is much easier for me if you can. pay pal is just isn't popular here. Western union is like a bank remittance. I wired the amount, you go to the bank to collect it then process the transaction. much easier then pay pal. another form I could think of is Money online. (MOL) these are the two top option people here used to remit funds . please do consider them sheepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Would it be possible to reduce the costs for a custom portrait fro m 10$ to 4-5$ ? Or let it remain at 10$, but add 200000 ingame-cash to it. I considered getting one, but it's far too overprized for that small a gimmick.

Georgi Stomana Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I wonder if it will ever be possible to buy resources with a donation, instead of money.

There are a handful of people who have it. I thought it was $5 though, was it raised? Its' ten bucks, and I personally have it. I'm also hugely against adding money to this one. It is cosmetic, pure and simple, and I really feel like it should remain as such. And frankly, I don't really see a problem with it remaining at ten bucks. Maybe a better solution would be to tie the in-game portrait to the forum profile picture. That way, once you donated (once) you could change it whenever you like. EDIT: It wouldn't even be that hard to do.

Jefferson Davis III Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think that the prices for custom flags should be dropped, custom flags for countries should be dropped from $10 to $5 and alliances should be dropped from $20 to $10. More people would be willing to buy custom flags for them or there alliances. 1 Quote "Head-shots for days" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972ford Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 what about $100 for a 15 day 1% color stock bonus boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Davis III Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thats way too much, you wouldn't see anyone using that. Maybe $15 for that, a $100 should buy you a 1% bonus for a year. 1 Quote "Head-shots for days" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Davis III Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 May I suggest that you up the donation limit from 30 dollars to 50 dollars. just an idea. dont change the bonus for the donations just up the donation limit.

Eviljak Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think it should be... $10 - 2.5 mil and 100 infra $20 - 5 mil and 300 infra and 100 land $30 - 7.5 mil, 500 infra, 300 land, +10% efficiency to improvements $40 - 12mil, 800 infra, 600, land, +15% efficiency Quote Esteemed janitor for Church of Cynic ~ may i clean the hearts of men with my blessed toilet brush.

Mayor Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Those are some extreme bonus'. How would you distribute the land and infra? It depends on where the most money comes from. My perspective is I have already donated enough for my usage and 4 or so million isn't really worth it. I can wait a few days for that.

Eviljak Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ive rethought my previous post...perhaps spread the infra to +25, +50, +75, and +100 infra and land for each city per donation amount.

Eviljak Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Or better yet just give a small bonus on top of the cash credit that raises with each additional credit...ergo... 1 credit = $750,000 and infra and land cost 1% less for 20 days This could stack up to 6 times since a nation can use up to 6 credits per month 1 Quote Esteemed janitor for Church of Cynic ~ may i clean the hearts of men with my blessed toilet brush.

Hereno Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 can we get more for each donation? 1 credit = 1 mil 6 credits = 6 mil max of 6 credits per month also, give everybody who has already used credits the money they should have 1.5m for 12 bucks seems like a bit of a rip off at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Davis III Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Donation description:Alliance Construction Shield. Shield lasts for 7 days. No member of that alliance can be attack and no member of that alliance can attack anyone else. The shield can only be activated when you form the alliance, if you agree to it, the required amount of credits will be withdrawn from your account. If you do not have enough, then the shield will fail. Once the shield is shut down, then it can never be reactivated for that alliance. Donation Price: 10 Credits EFFECT: No one in that alliance can be attack or start an attack. Quote "Head-shots for days" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just that it doesn't get forgotten. Price: 1 Credit per 4/5 citys unlocked But those slots should be unlocked forever, not just for 1 pic upload, then new donation -> Renaming citys makes old pic useless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eviljak Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Each credit can either give $750k or 100 infra Quote Esteemed janitor for Church of Cynic ~ may i clean the hearts of men with my blessed toilet brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwemyrn Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 1 credit could buy the following; 500 land in a city of your choice Increase income by 1% per credit for the month.
