If Mike & Rapsey decide to add items to the donator shop you will definitely see a post about it in the News Section.

Re: Donator Store
Not exactly, we just don't announce them weeks or months ahead of time. Usually sales are announced 5-7 days ahead of time, 3 days at the very least. I don't think this is at all unusual. Personally I can't think of any store that announces sales or discounts weeks or months in advance. Except for annually recurring things like the steam summer sales (but even then the details aren't revealed until the sale starts).
There are 2 reasons for it:
1. We think such early announcements would only have a negative e impact. If I say we're gonna sell a few more legends capes on August 1st then legends cape trading would probably come to a halt for the next 2 months. This is not a good thing. It just creates a long period of uncertainty.
2. We don't actually plan that far ahead. Finalizing the details of a sale (which items and how many at what price) is something we do based on the current state of the eco. Once we have established the details of a sale we don't want to wait another month or two to organize it. By that time the information we used about how many credits there are waiting to be spent would no longer be accurate.
