With FireWraith's departure of the server, the remaining admins have decided to move forward with a long-anticipated business model that has found success in multiple other games. Effective immediately, we are now limiting server resources and benefits to those who can afford a small fee associated with each of them. The list of services are as follows:
LETO Requests: $5 each
Relevel Requests: $5 each
Rebuild Requests: $10 each
Character Nobility Requests: $20
Character Housing: $20 per character using the residence
Exotic Racial Requests: Due to the nature of exotic races and ECLs, each request will be assessed a fee according to their ECL.
ECL 0: $5
ECL +1: $10
ECL +2: $20
ECL +3, excluding half-dragons: $30
ECL +4, excluding half-fiends and half-celestials: $40
Half-dragons, half-fiends, and half celestials: $50
Becoming a staff member (DM), will also require a one-time set-up fee of $25.
We are still reviewing a possibility of implementing an additional subscription model which will provide you access to unique content such as the Event Server and early access to the CD Haks.
Thank you for your many years of participation on our server!
(And thank you for the fish!)

*Waves the $25 around*
So when can I start being a DM then? It's about time this server gets someone who is willing to spawn an army of ogres inside of Arabel Central daily, and close all doors right before players walk through them.

In keeping with our new business model, I'm proud to introduce the Dungeon Explorer System!
Every week, players will receive 5 "Dungeon Keys" allowing you to access an entire dungeon on that day! Each key will open a single dungeon once. These keys will recharge at the start of each week. Players cannot exceed 5 keys.
However, available in the premium store are extra "Dungeon Keys"! For $9.99 players may purchase a 5 pack of dungeon keys. (Note: These Keys count towards the maximum total of 5 per character). Additionally, keys may be bought from the new Player Auction House! Meaning that yes, players can earn more Dungeon Keys! (Note: Current average Dungeon Key price: 13,560,000,000 GP)

So I'll toss in $155 to have Myv turned in to a a celestial full dragon ($50 for each half, right?), and another $20 to make her a noble. I'll throw in another $50 for a "one-on-one" with Morghan!
I'd also highly recommend limiting character slots to one per player, and putting in a gold cap until you spend some money - that way you can sell character slots and people will need to spend money to buy anything good. Oh, and make the appearance changer behind a paywall, and I'd suggest putting each group of dyes in to a separate cash shop item.
