    Oh yeah now I remember reading on IRC that people who donate can see upcoming changes on the test server a week early or something like that. So the early birds are making their play on the trade forums. Thats a great way to reward donations. I might just have to bust out my wallet.

    I believe anyone can log onto Test. You don't get anything for donating but a pat on the back and an orange name on the forums.

    @Chris is strongly against giving people who donate any advantage over those who don't.

    Ya, there is nothing in the development section that is giving donators an edge. The sell offs are because everyone is wrapping up their christmas scrolls and probably want to move all the stuff they got before the market is just completely flooded and they are left holding it for a super long time until the market rebounds.

    Hey Kirby, I double checked my logs because I don't want to be a source of misinformation or cause any trouble. You are very much correct that there is no test server benefit! Simply my bad stoner memory failing me..... Here is the real quote from Telamon:

    (19:03) <Telamon>Your welcome to ask, but yes patch notes are made available to donors to help us test/critique then planned changes

    I totally forgot about the valentines event so it makes perfect sense that people are fundraising at this point in time.

    What? I just recently had someone show me coming patch notes on changes to tactics. I couldn't open his link so he screenshoted and loaded it up. I THINK he was a donor who had early access to patch notes because of it. That's an edge if u'd wanna sell soon-to-be-nerfed-things. But maybe this guy was a hacker and not a donor? :p
