Hello,
I'm fairly new to the donor server and to the forums, but I'm not at all new to Stick Online; I was on here before it went pre-donor. Anyway, enough of the intro - back to the point of the message;
I was curious as to if there were benefits to donors who are accessing the game now when SO v3 comes out. (e.g., a free hat (donor hat possibly?) stat boost, or any other form of reward) Like, will we get any benefits for donating now when SO3 comes out?
Thanks!
Meiun has said that there will possibly be benefits for donors in SO3, as well as mentioning the possibility that players that currently have rare items may get some sort of compensation in SO3 as well. However, neither of these have been confirmed, or, for that matter, been deemed probable by any reliable source, and whether or not such benefits would only be available to pre-SO3 donors - I have no idea.
So, basically, maybe. Meiun's brought it up, but never confirmed it.
One thing that has been stated for a long time is that Donors will not receive an advantage over those that have not donated.

Or at least, gameplay altering rewards. I remember that Meiun kept saying he would incorperate 'fun' items into the game for donaters, like those dynamic signatures when we had the custom websitea and forum.

What he said.
All I'm hoping for is the donor account being able to beta test S.O. 3 :P Then maybe when the real S.O. 3 comes out our accounts get reset.

Sounds like you're asking if you donate now, will you get the benefit of rewards that come out later. The answer to that is yes. Meiun keeps a running list of all donors from the very beginning. People who donated long before the donor server came out were still able to access the donor server. Same thing here. If you donate now, and donor rewards come out much later when SO3 comes out, you will be eligible.

I think Meiun has said that donors will be able to beta test SO3, and also pretty sure our accounts are going to be reset as well.

Pretty sure it was that if he plans on doing a beta test, he would consider letting donors in.
Probably select donors, as there are tons of donors now.

All donors will get free hookers.
I like how he edited to "All donors should get" to "All donors will get". :P

Because it's a god damn fact.
Meiun told me.
I swear.
*cough*
That sure is a lot of hookers.

Meiun said that, he's considering doing a beta test for SO3 and if there will be one, all donaters will have access to it.
(wouldn't make sense to select only a few of them anyway, since all donated. Probably donaters have to write an email to activate an account for beta test, since account creation through client will be disabled at that time, I guess. =p)

My bet is on Spring Break '10.

Non of those post were made by meiun...
The only person i see there that might know something is Lingus. And he is not sure him self that either is happening.
I can verify that Meiun said that, I just can't remember when and what topic. But I do recall Meiun saying he had plans for donors to be beta-testers, at the least, if I remember right.
Oh, didn't realize who 'he' was. But that does sound familiar.
~Aqua
i like the idea
xD

Probably not until after the game is nearly ready for final release. I would NOT bet on it being out this year. But that's just my guess.

Btw, I don't mean to put words in anyones mouth. This is just something I remember Meiun saying. I have no more authority on this than anyone else here. It's simply something I remember him stating (as others probably remember as well). Final say on anything of this type, as always, is on Meiun. Especially since I'm not on the team anymore and know just as much, if not less, than the average SO community member.
Hasn't being able to play this game for the past year and a half where others have not benefit enough? 10 dollers can't get you more than 2 hours of amusement outside your door, so you should be pretty gratefull that you have probably gotten 100+ hours of entertainment for that 10.

I'm sorry.
Not to mention the money goes right back to you. Meiun takes all the donations he receives and puts them into website/game server.

This question seems to have been answered 200 times.
