Donator/premium on Ironman: drop requirements

[Mike]

In 3 days, it'll be exactly 4 months ago since we first introduced Ironman mode to the server. As a way to make sure donators don't get too much of an early advantage, we decided to add achievement and level requirements in order to obtain donator or premium status.

However, similar as to how the "early advantage" isn't an issue for events anymore (other than XP boosting events), I also believe that the requirements for donator and premium (whether you buy it with credits or coins) is no longer necessary, so I'd like to remove it.

Objections?

[Amount]

Yep, remove the requirements and allow people to buy statuses with donor credits.

[The underdog]

Ironmen will grind for any item they don't have yet as long as they need it, so I don't think the issue is that big.

It's an obstacle to extremely lucky ironman that can afford it by just being lucky or donating, so it's not buyable instantly.

I wouldn't mind it being removed though.

[Jonas]

Yep, remove the requirements

I'm literally having a blonde moment, what is it exactly?

Are you referring to the pks and coins requirements?

No you need to have like 15 99 skills and done 1 quest or something like that before you can purchase the status. I dont remember the exact requirements.

Edit: Here is it

However, you can obtain donator status once you have completed at least 1 quest or all achievements. You can then purchase it for either 2B coins and 2000 PkHonor Points or 2500 Donator Credits
Once you have donator status and either completed 2 quests total or have level 99 in at least 7 non-combat skills, you can purchase a premium status (again either for 2500 credits or 2B coins and 2K PkHonor Points). Donator & premium are the only two things you can donate for as ironman mode player.

Keep it how it is.
There's nothing wrong with the current system IMO.

Ohh, got you.

Personally don't see a issue with the way it is.
But then again, there are ways to have it both ways.

Possibly, you can give the ironman 2 options from here on out.

1 - Stick with the current system, and with doing so, you can lower the pks and cash requirements.

2- Remove the current requirements, and higher the cost and pks required for the status.
Could make it so accept tickets, and require 2.5b and 3k pks, compared to the normal 2b and 2k pks.

I think it's okay as it is.
It's okay to work a bit to get them, especially on iron mode.
Might remove it from ppl who donate.

[Ain]

It's fine the way it is. Makes people work a little bit for the status a little bit regardless if they donate for it or not.
