New Automated Donation System!

Post by Henhouse »

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce we know have a fully automated donation system! I've spent the past several days programming this in to work with Paypal and what-not. But the system works now as you donate you'll receive an email with a 10-digit code. This code can be entered in the new donation token redeemers in the mall (look for Captain Fellner and his crew). Simply enter the 10 digit code it, and you'll get whatever it is you purchased!

Can I use the code more than once?

- No, the code is instantly deleted after you use it.

What if the server crashes RIGHT AFTER I get my stuff?

- No worries, I have it programmed to save your character upon entering the code in successfully.

What else can we donate for?
- Tier 6, Amani War Bear, Big Battle Bear, and Swift Dawnsaber.

Are you adding more stuff in the future?
- Yes, I was simply trying to get the system out really fast so I didn't have time to decide and add other things.

So this really means we can handle donations ourselves without any need to wait or assistance from Henhouse?
- Yes!

What if the server goes down, or is offline when I donate?
- Not to worry, the codes are stored in the database, so in that case the entire server would have to be offline for the code not to be put inside. If the server is shutdown when you donate, your code will be usable when you login again.

What about character transfers, renames and sex changes?
- Those will have to still be handled by me sadly since they require human validating and checks.

UPDATE 2/6/10: The donation system no longer sends you a random 10-digit code. You will now use your Transaction ID that Paypal sends to you, which will be sent in the same format email as before.
