Okay, thanks for all the votes, now I will explain why this will never happen.
Diamonds are not a resource, they are no wares. They are a symbol. I hear players say "to buy/purchase diamonds" a lot, and I think that's what it eventually looks like after all, but since we need money to pay the developers and the host, and we are getting it from players, we got to give something in return. So diamonds are more like a thank you to the donators, and 'thank you's are not subject to trade.
As many people have already noticed, we have a very strict policy towards players. You don't see ads here, all those nasty banners probably annoying you so much in other projects; you don't even have the "Vote!" button for marketing purposes, the "Building a House for LordsWM" thread, the only effort of that kind so far, a players' initiative, isn't even a sticky thread! And as much as I want to sticky it, it is against something we have agreed among us. Players have a lot of freedom and comfort in this game, and once we promise something, we admins first of all do so to each other.
Right now players know that if they donate, they get something unique in return for their favor. If that ever changes, it means the good ol' admins are gone, so be prepared for other changes too =) |
