Rip Sklotopolis Donation page. Looks like the community Point System is taking over this system. I want to thank Dom and all staff who have allowed us to donate for nice items and silver all these years without going through hoops to get them. May the donation pages rest in peace.  |

He did say that the plan is to bring it back early next year.
In the meanwhile, I'm planning on emitting a few contracts of my own once I know what the token-silver exchange rate. #UndercutTheState

Engineer wrote in the part of the forum called "News and updates":
Since there have been many questions I will add this here too from: sklotopolis.freeforums.net/thread/5952/donation-page-update
Donations won't be gone forever. We are planning to rework the entire process of collecting donations to make it more convenient for the people using it but also for us. However, this will take some time (maybe even until early 2021). Until then we have decided to halt the collecting of donations. I know for some this might be an inconvenience but these are necessary steps we have/want to take.
Once again thanks for understanding.
I can only emphasize that this is only temporary and won't be forever. Please have patients with us, I am going to promise you that the wait will be worth it in the end.
Thanks for all!

Is there an exchange rate of Sklotokens -> Silver coins somewhere? This contract costs more mats than 5 towers and I really need the silver to expand my plot. I tried to get to the donations page just after that was discontinued. I'd rather build the towers if it's worth more silver than 10 Sklotokens will get me for the contract.

I feel your pain Elrik,
Having more than one currency in a game is just insane and confusing. I guess most of us will just need to accept the fact we won't be able to expand our deeds like the first people on the server 5 years ago, let alone the super large deeds some CA folks have.
One reason I came over from Wurm Online was to not have to grind every time I wanted something. Here I could donate, pick up some nice deed items, or have the silver to pay someone to make them for me, which of course included paying folks to keep my tools at high ql with enchants.
Making everyone poor while a system is reworked makes no sense.

If you believe that Iam I have a plot of land to sale you in the middle of a volcano. Dom did not spend his time developing this points system to scrap it in the future. |

Okay that is enough now. I am closing this thread and will close all future threads about this topic. I don't know what more to say to convince you that it is only temporary. The community point system will stay and donations will come back and will run parallel to it. All this pointless speculation is just silly.
