Hello.  I am very familiar with the server you are referring to. I don't think I will be offering this.  But instead of just saying no, please allow me to explain my reasoning in two parts:

1)  I will NEVER ask a member to donate (pay me money) to provide a service.  I don't like that idea on principle.  It literally would only take mere seconds of my time to do what you have asked.  While I certainly appreciate donations and they do help me tremendously, I find that practice very shady and greedy on the part of the other server's owner. 

2)  As you know, our server is split-map and as such we allow both PvE AND PvP play styles. It would be very unfair to have such a system in place that would permit a player to start a new seed leveled up while others that don't pay start from square one.  Certainly this could be considered nothing short of "pay-to-win" for the PvP part of our community.

So, I hope you can appreciate my logic in not providing this service for our server.  If this were an ALL PvE server, what you ask for could make sense, but I would never ask for money to do it.  That said, I do intend to provide other in-game perks for donors soon.  But these will be perks that will not give donors unfair advantage over the other players.

I am always open to new ideas so I appreciate your suggestion.

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Just another reason I am coming back here Thank you as well for providing a detailed response. I understand your reasons and will respect them. Thank you for proving support for years and not demanding monetary reward, very refreshing to see. For the PvP I do not personally agree with this logic you provided as the same advantage is already given to players if they started on "Day One" vs someone starting on "Day 500". I do get how it can seem like a pay to win after the server restarts and become unfair as time progresses if its a paid feature. It can widen the gap for 'grinding' making some players ready to kill after a server wipe in PvP.

Just some food for thought maybe before a server wipe we can poll people if they would like all player profiles to be kept on the wipe? I know there will always be a difference in opinion as some people will want to start fresh to complete a different perk tree. You own the server and obviously know whats good after running it for 4 years. I am the noob without experience here

Again thanks for taking the time to respond to me and being so polite.
