DONATION
Please read this whole help topic carefully. Yes, donations are accepted here at Medievia! Not only are they accepted, they are encouraged. Medievia costs money to run and keep up. It takes and eats up a lot of Vryce's money. Donations are the only way he has to supplement his contributions and ensure that Medievia stays alive not to mention having any budget to market the game. When you donate money to help support the game, the money is turned into donation tokens for your player in the game. One US dollar equals one donation token. You may at any time turn these tokens into very useful and special 'donation items.' You may also at any time trade donation tokens with a player for their Medievia gold. Note that it is illegal to send dollars to Medievia for another player's donation tokens--that is a purgable offense. You may only donate money for your *own* tokens. The tokens will be sent to your character, and you may then sell them for Medievia gold to another player. The DONATION command will show you how many 'donation tokens' you have. The DONATION command allows you to turn in donation tokens for items. The DONATION command allows you to trade donation tokens to another player for Medievia gold. The DONATIONLOG command shows the log of your donation transactions. If you donate dollars to Medievia and have the tokens sent to a character you do not own you will be purged. If you in any way even suggest a donation deal with another player other than using the DONATION command to trade tokens for gold, you will be purged. We do not allow any such deal, and this donation token scheme stops all donation scams and makes them a thing of the past. Any donation item except DC's will make the donation text go away if you have the item on you (equipped or in inventory). If a Decree is your only donation item, the text will come back after you use the Decree, since the item will have disappeared. Donation items and donation tokens WILL BE FORFEITED if your character is purged. The key here is to read Help RULES We reserve the right to purge any player's characters if they break our rules, even if that player may have donated. 50 donation token items ($50): - Magical Talisman - Mystical Talisman - Spirit of Medievia - Aura - Decree 25 donation token items ($25) - Blessing - Dragon Crystal - Charm - Focus - Chime - Shrine - Container 20 donation token items ($20) - Certificate of Redemption To see what each of these items does and to get the keyword necessary for donating, read Help "DONATION ITEMS" Pay close attention to what the Certificate of Redemption does. It is more restricted than any other object in the sense that it is an item that you apply to another donation item you have already had for a year. You may get any item in any order. You only have 2 neck wearable locations so if you do have 2 mystical and 2 magical talismans, you can only wear 2 at any one time. Many people like switching between MANA and HITPOINT talismans as the need arises and as they multi-class and have different needs. These items, except for Dragon Crystals, cannot be dropped, given, put in a locker or container, donated, mailed, or otherwise leave your character. Once you receive it, it is on that character forever. The only way to get rid of it is to sell it in a shop. If you sell a donation item in a shop, it's gone forever. Don't try it. To donate to Medievia: Follow the instructions in Help PAYPAL to use www.paypal.com to send funds instantly, or send a check or money order to: Medievia.com, Inc. P.O. Box 841 Blue Bell, PA 19422 " " We very rarely receive any donations via mail to the PO BOX. To ensure prompt delivery please email soleil@medievia.com to notify her that it is on its way so she knows to check. Please don't use Express Mail or ANY other type of delivery that requires a signature. This WILL NOT get you your donation items any quicker and is really just a waste. The Medievia address is obviously a post office box. Vryce or Soleil has to travel to the post office to collect the mail. They cannot get to the post office every day, and if there is mail that requires a signature, they have to wait in line to get it. This means it may take even longer than regular mail! If you want your donation items quickly, use PAYPAL See Help PAYPAL The check should be payable to Medievia. Acceptable funds are checks for US funds or money orders in US funds. Remember to give your character's name with the funds! Otherwise your character will not be given the donation tokens. SIGNATURE REQUIRED: To repeat the above section: Do not use Express Mail or similar. If you send funds in any way that requires a signature and you do not make sure that "No Signature is Required"-is checked, your donation will be sent back to you. Even when the signature is waived, sending a donation this way may require Vryce or Soleil to wait in a post office line and can take even longer than regular mail. It is said that Vryce keeps well-meant and complimentary letters and once a week gives out a DC to the best one. PLAYERS WITH LIMITED BUDGETS: We understand that some people simply cannot afford to pay cash for donation items. In order to keep the game balanced we have a couple alternatives. They both involve some work on the part of the player, but so does earning money, so we feel like they are fair. Read Help MUDSLINGER_SUBMIT and Help "DONATION DEALS" for more information. Also be sure to read Help RULES part 7t, about donation deals. Keep in mind MUDSlinger articles are judged by the effort and quality in an article and do not guarantee a donation item.
