| Author | Donation! Thoughts? |
|---|
Dear players,
In order to ensure a progressive and intense development of our game, we have established a mechanism of voluntary financial help. Any player can take part in the project's amelioration by helping the developers with an act of donating. Your assistance can be implemented via one of many worldwide known systems, such as PayPal (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover cards), E-Gold, E-bullion, Pecunix, Liberty Reserve, Webmoney, Yandex money, Paysafecard, Western Union, Wire Transfer and chargeable SMS messages (Europe only).
Our players' generosity will be acknowledged with accounting resources of a new type: «diamond», one per each donated «Euro». These resources can be exchanged for game gold at a rate of 2500 gold per diamond; or they can be used to gain extra possibilities: build certain castle constructions earlier, than designed by combat level; buy a Hunters' Guild license; become a Thieves' Guild member without a Thief invitation.
Received funds will be spent on further development of the game world, paying for servers, traffic, advertisement, hiring designers, web-artists and programmers.
The link to donations is situated at the bottom of your Character main page.
Feel free to address any concerning questions to the Dealer character. Please limit your inquiries to the donation subject.
If you wish to help us but do not have access to any of the services listed above, discuss ways suitable for you with Dealer.
With gratitude to all players, HeroesWM Team.

so what are your thoughts on this guys, good, bad, or dont care?
i personally like the idea, but i can see where higher levels will be angry as younger units getting things you took longer to get
Thoughts!: |
| I think it's stupid that those who have money get an advantage personally. |
| Yay, 3rd level elves with Grandmaster bowmen & 1st level Darkelves with shrews & poisoners :-( |
| It is totally bad idea to allow build certain castle construction early for real money. It will destroy game balance. |
for Cvert:
please look carefully in your castle
upgrade of creatures of 1 level can be done with diamonds on 3 level
upgrade of creatures of 2 level can be done with diamonds on 6 level
upgrade of creatures of 3 level can be done with diamonds on 9 level |
| The people who make these games are always going to need money and in order for people to actually donate there needs to be incentive. It's going to be difficult though for those who can't pay to keep up in a game involving PvP battles. |
| oops, miss read it, sorry |
for Severe:
if you don't want to build it you haven't, the game is free. It's only kind of forced progress.
for Mirri:
for Cvert:
look in your castle |
| lol that would be a very scary game cvert XD |
It is totally bad idea to allow build certain castle construction early for real money. It will destroy game balance. Agree 100%, really bad idea for game balance.. the game will be become money power is the king of this game!
but if they not do this they cant got a lot RL money.. The main purpose make game is RL money of corse..^^ |
| this is absolutely necessary, for every project requires investments and manpower, this one is no exception. I just wonder why 1 diamond costs 1 EURO here while on .ru server it is 1 DOLLAR. First, this is quite unfair. The administration must do something extraordinary on this srver to justify this kind of difference. So I would urge admins to stop being THAT greedy and equalize the terms on both servers. |
| yeah i bought 15 diamonds thinking euroes were around the price of the dollar, actually cost me 25 dollars instead of the thought around 18 or 20, but atleast i got range units. but an equalization of the amount of money would be nice, even tho this game has gone unpayed for like 2 months from its player in any form, it would still be nice to lower the price and my rebate some people who bought diamonds or something |
| the Russian version was totally free for much more than 2 months, still we have dollars there agains euro here. I would certainly invest here as I did there, I just see no reason why this server must be more expensive than the Russian one. I actually suggest we all unite and request the administration to level the prices, this may be the only way to make them reconsider. |
its normal idea
you can play and pay nothing
but if you want to play easier, pay some money
developers need money, they want to eat too :-)
its simply clear: no money - no work |
| i dont have any problem with donators getting advantage. However there should be a common mark that this player have donated. Like make donators name appear Green or red. |

"you can play and pay nothing
but if you want to play easier, pay some money"
Not easier. If player will not pay, he become weak against those who paid.
I agree that developers need money, agree if you can buy hunter or thief licence, or buy game gold, even if you can buy 1-3 parameters to hero. But i totally disagree whis idea of buying units, that you cant have on some lvls. This is big disballance between players who pay and who dont pay for game. |
I think that prices are too high I will rather never buy :
Thief invitation 80 euro
Buildings:
Underground Depot - 10 euro - (what is that building for?)
Arena of Keepers - 20 euro
Treetop lodge - 30 euro

nice - longer u play more charged u are
why dont set small prices and make it common to buy diamonds
and by the way it is not donation, it is pure commercial game now
u pay u get simple |
Once again differencies will not come on game from efficiency but from money... People who wants to contribute should do it without changing game balance. The yellow star on donators chest as twamao proposes is not a very good idea to keep a community playing alltogether. People invest a lot of time to level up to play with more interesting creatures, and they'll meet powerful ones against who they'll wont be able to play because of money power.
Those differencies are the most important reason for people to stop playing a game. As it occurs to me several times yet, I probably won't play to this game a long time when I'll realise adversaries do not let me one chance...
Did the creators want to create a large community or to create a way to get money? There are others ways to make money when hundreds of people connect every day (advertising, for example). |
| 16. you are compleatly right |
i totally disagree whis idea of buying units, that you cant have on some lvls. This is big disballance between players who pay and who dont pay for game. yeah agree 100%!
why dont set small prices and make it common to buy diamonds
No, more cheap diamond same with more easy to upgrade building early and make more disbalance the game.
by the way it is not donation, it is pure commercial game now
u pay u get simple right, too much commercial. really commercial now. |
