The last few days looks like this, the higher your donate rank, the more you have to say about the rules of the server.
The rules for killing, farming, have been changed because new GMs or Mods had no problem with applying the rules equally to players.
Players with rank5 Donation(150+Euro) after getting caught on botting/afk farming get warning and nothing else, but when you are without donation rank or with lower donator you are treated like shit and have nothing to say.
In last 3 days they did implement new event, that was broken AF an d only couple of people found that exploit, but because they were high donator rank didnt get punished at all, with 4 hours of abusing that exploit they did get ahead (extra) 2-3 weeks of playing.
Item shop also had fuckups, at server start they did add "special offer" that supposed to be limited to one time, 2 weeks later... same items with 75% price cut, because donations stoped to flow...
So overall, great idea about server... but admins did kill it with greed.

I, too, need to update my initial response after spending more time on the server and have more mixed feelings. Still love the concept and Ink's work btw.
I gotta agree here and I also will admit that I may have had something to do with the price drop on some items because paying the equivalent of $30 for the donation purse or a deco set on a pserver is basically greedy. That might not be much for some of us but it can be food for a week to a month in many countries (but lower price means more ppl willing to spend so this is a plus - give credit to Yosiem for listening here).
The other thing about the titles also seems true but it's not just rank 5 title holders that have a say. It's those in the "inner circle" and that seems to be a recurring thing. Go read this previous post as they already explained it well:

To sum it up, all of these things are still happening. I literally suspected this after playing for 1 week when I first joined but didn't care too much since i understand, it's private server, you either deal with it or get out and I liked the content so wanted to try it all out with the pet balances and reworks.
Don't believe me? If one of "the boys" accuse you of cheating, you better believe admin will say something but as soon as someone says anything about any of them, they are real quick to jump in and defend each other and even throw accusations you're way if you don't shut up. Now there's also a new Polish mod who's been mod about a week and basically almost cause the other Mod and GM to quit today. Not sure why they needed another mod that's online during the same time window as the other 2 but there is now, it's totally not cuz he part of "the boys", no that can't be it.
I'll come out and say it clearly. A lot of us are looking for a new server. If admin wants to just play with his friends, that's totally cool, but the rest of the normal players are going to move on, which means the only money being donated (if they even have to donate for their titles) will be from that group.
Last thing, my luck stat (along with other players') changes constantly to the point that it is often at a negative value as a base. So how's that for donation rank title.
