That would be really great. A good example is the new EULA of Minecraft, that says you aren't allowed to sell pay to win stuff anymore as a server owner. So most servers switched to cosmetic items and stuff like epic effects ingame. Maybe you could add ideas like Team Fortress 2 did (Strange Weapons that count kills and other stats and also hats/armor with epic effects etc), also most Minecraft Servers now sell whole Network Booster (One buys it, activates it for a hour and everyone gets double /triple the exp/gold etc) that could maybe destroy the game but maybe there are some ideas that aren't too op that still don't make donators receive more then visual or global buffs/features. Make being a donator more intresting and feeling awesome without giving any pay to win advantages.

I could also help, just need to read up the scripting language of bannerlord then. If it's uses a language like c# or c++ instead of a custom scripting one I would need to read up nothing but the api.

North America | 53 EUR | ~56 USD | One dedicated server | Current donations: ~8 EUR |
The NA servers cost $56 a month, set the goal to be $168 USD which can provide 3 months of the server charges. Same concept with EU, and AU servers. I really don't expect the dev team to add a sparkle every time I shoot an arrow, or anything outside the lore of the mod.

I don't say that you need to expect this but most games that aren't pay to win do it like that.

Or don't really trust Paypal security, some people just don't or their parents wont let them. What would be wonderful, but don't know if doable, would be a "purchase donation" via Steam. People can gift games, why can't they gift donations to mods?
Here's a question - If you do shift the mod over to Bannerlord, if and when it is released, will everyone get to keep their characters/levels/gear; or do we have to start over from scratch?

Most likely scratch, as it's a new game, and wouldn't be more fun to start over on a new game to experience full fun of it?

I agree. New players also like to have exclusive items like the Donators Torch. I'm sure that there are plenty of models we could use as Donators item:

Yeah, like a "Skin" selector for items also maybe so if you have the item another item with same stats but a diffrent model can be chosen.
