I'm not going to get into another one of these pointless arguments, I'll just leave it with saying that Non-Donators can get more than 100k Free-ZEN a day (not accounting for Gem Drops), while the most income comes from Goldshine-Donations which, actually, don't even provide any power at all. But again, won't argue any further.
I mean all you guys do is dream about some 100% No-Donation server, and that may exist for some games. But for BOI/WOI? Well, they require quite strong servers to run properly. So strong that whoever's hosting it - unless they have a very steady income elsewhere - would not be able to host a non-donation server for BOI/WOI. That's the whole problem. Unless they host it locally of course, but have fun with that Bandwidth-choking. The point being there will never be a server with a steady 1k+ playerbase where there are no donations at all, reason being what I just explained.
That's also why I find it quite unlikely for anyone to pick up on this idea as well, if there's no way to go profit on it due to expensive servers. I'd love to see an old-school PvP server again, hell, I'd even play it myself. They were good times, lots of memories.
