Game stats have also been adjusted they now do not include DD's or CD's

[[1] Digital Void]

Weekly Team Kills: 411
Bonus Energy: +5 Every 15

What happened to bonus +5 every 10 when you got to 400 team kills?

So much is only donator now, that could really ruin the experience for us players that can't pay for it although they want to. It is also us free players who drive the game, because we populate it and make it fun for the donators.

You're about a month late with the complaining. We had a 10+ page debate in the old forum about this. As you can see, orsm didn't agree

Better late then never

Well, it wasn't so bad before when you could still exchange game money and items for donator days or points now it looks like donator points don't exist anymore and in game trading of any donator days is removed. So at least the ones that couldn't pay for it could gain the benefits of a member.

There's a lot of things that i find a little screwy which is probably why there's only 500 something members, opposed to back when i started the numbers where in the thousands and everyone was active!

DDs are still tradeable in the market, which will be open next week.

You also forgot to mention that Servers and EC making are both only available to donators.

I have to say Orsm, I'm a little dissapointed with the things you have taken out of the game for those of us who don't have enough spare cash to give you every month.

No extra energy for teamkillls. No servers. No making ECs.

How are we supposed to play this game? Seriously. Next thing you do, battling other people will become an accessory for those able to afford dp's.

Other than that, most of the changes make sense. The other ones I disagree with I will keep to myself, because as much as the community likes to think sometimes it is your game and you can decide what to do with it. Hobbling (probably) 75% of your player base, however, is not the way to go.

i completely, 100% agree with this statement

Buy them off the market. One donator day is CHEAPER! than an energy charger. If we give the same benefits, what for will players donate for..? Fun?

for the benefits that are listed in the donate section. without ecs and servers, how does one expect to pay for these ddays?

200% agree with these statements.
However, I'm stocking up on my year's supply of DDs now so that I don't have to donate, and once the ball is rolling I won't have to (as before).
Although I do seriously worry for the site's commercial viability, as now there is a massive overstocking of DDs, who will pay real money to donate? (note that although that question seems rhetorical, text doesn't display tone well I do actually mean it)
