One point about boons and donations that was totally left out of that
"discussion" was the fact, that most of the current boons/tp's in game are
bought with RL money. That has nothing to do with the game itself or how
boons/tp's effect the game balance or anything. What happened was very typical
phenomenom. Those who had money got into inner-circle and those who didn't
were left out. Bat pretends to be free game (no monthly fee), but on the same
time they sell out "shares of heaven" to those who can pay, they just call it
"donating"(amount beeing 1000$/ atm). I wonder if it ever was an idea to "give
everyone equal opporturnity" or something, i guess not. This kind of behaviour
can only be called as hypocrite, especially when wizzards say that the one who
donate should not expect to get anything for his/her money, but desides to
"award" those who donate with tp's. :P

Congratulations, you have just entered a place I like to call \"the real
world\". In this place, some people are born with good looks,
intelligence, and good luck. Some people are born with 1 or 2, some are
born with all 3, and some are born with none. Tough shit, get used to it,
figure out how to deal, and quit fucking whining for christ\'s sake. I
thought this was the flame group, not the whine group.

So, to sum up, players who donated money got tps as an award. Those
players with tps can have more stuff for their characters. Yes, players
who have been in the game longer had more of an opportunity to donate.
Guess what? They deserve the tps for it. If those players hadn\'t
donated, then we might not have a game right now.

And fucking finally, how the hell does another player having more tps than
you affect your game play? Let\'s be serious here. If you know what
you\'re doing and you\'re not a complete fuck up, you\'ll get a
party.

If people had not donated, then you wouldn't even have the luxury of posting
your pathetic comments on this server.

That's all I can say on that one.
And batmud is defintely free, in fact you are free to not even play.

Maybe one should get abilities instead of boons when donating... methinks...
