Donate to Shards of Dalaya

Running Shards of Dalaya is not free. The server box that SoD relies on to handle its hardware and bandwidth needs is rented from a colo, and too expensive for the server admin to pay for on his own. In essence, SoD needs donations to stay on its feet.

While donations are not required to play on SoD, they are required - if not from everyone, then at least from a good amount of people - to keep the server up. Some servers offer good equipment, levels, or other advantages for donations. We don't. We don't believe in buying your equipment with real life money. But, we do offer our thanks through recognition in-game, as well as a few perks and "toy" items outlined below. We also offer you our gratititude.

Getting your donator status

Note that while we allow two accounts to be flagged per subscription, both accounts MUST have be owned by you, not a friend, a guildmate's bot account, or anything like that. The only exception is for close family members or people you live together with

Alternate donation methods

Shards of Dalaya now supports donating through Moneybookers for those that do not wish to use PayPal. After you follow the link (and sign up for a Moneybookers account) enter the appropriate amount of EUR or $ (20EUR/25$ for Platinum, 8EUR/10$ for Gold, 4EUR/5$ for Silver, or any amount for a loose donation) and make sure to check the "Schedule Payments" box if you are making anything except for a loose sum donation. Payments should go to woldaff@shardsofdalaya.com. As Moneybookers has no pre-made payment forms like PayPal does, customizing your payment in this way is necessary. After you have successfully scheudled any of the three payment types, send a donation e-mail as per above.

Donator "toy" items

To claim your donator items (see below), use the following commands:
/cm silveritem - Silver status illusion item
/cm golditem - Gold status boots
/cm platinumitem - Platinum status amulet
/cm housekey - The key to your instanced house

Monthly donation subscription

If you're just one hell of a nice guy, and really want the server to stay up, you may use the Shards of Dalaya Platinum Membership, a continous donation of 20 EUR (roughly $25) a month. This offers the same benefit as the Gold Membership, along with your own place among the people that the SoD staff has nothing but love for, as well as access to a very cool Pocket Plane zone that has various vendors selling trinks and fashion items, a banker, some toy NPCs (such as one that turns you into a dragon) and a free Translocator NPC.
Make sure to read the "Alternate Donation Methods" instructions above if you are using Moneybookers to sign up for a Platinum donation!

Then there's the Gold Membership, which is a continous donation of 8 EUR (roughly $10) per month. This entitles to the same benefits as the Silver membership, plus a pair of travelling boots (Clicky Scale of Wolf - not to be confused with Spirit of Wolf! Summon it with /cmd golditem ingame).
Make sure to read the "Alternate Donation Methods" instructions above if you are using Moneybookers to sign up for a Gold donation!

The basic is Silver Membership. A Silver Membership is a continous donation of 4 EUR (roughly $5) each month directly towards the server. A silver membership entitles you to an Idol of the Donator (Clicky Illusion: Scarecrow - summon it with /cmd silveritem ingame).
Make sure to read the "Alternate Donation Methods" instructions above if you are using Moneybookers to sign up for a Silver donation!
