From now until December 31st 2024: Double Bonus Codes.  This means you will get 2 bonus codes (instead of 1) per $25 donated.

When:  Now   

Why:  We are trying to raise funds for the 2023 Convention as well as continue to pay the monthly hosting fees for the game server, the web server, the Wiki page as well as the domain names and email services.  We depend on these drives and your support to keep the game online.

How:  Check or Money Order Preferred (address in help donation), Paypal and Venmo also accepted to tony@allengames.com. 

All can be found here:  http://www.dsl-mud.org/inside/donations.asp

After donating, BE SURE to fill out the form here:  http://www.dsl-mud.org/inside/idonated.asp

You will not receive a thank you until the form is filled out. (hopefully within 24 hours of that)

So what's available as donation rewards?

You will get a THANK YOU con card as well as random drawing code to use on the website (see far below for details).  

You will almost always get your codes within 24 hours of donating with some exceptions on larger paypal donations or if I am out of town.

You'll also get 2 hours on a character per each dollar (USD) donated .  (Or twice as much if you donate by check)   If you are Canadian or otherwise, try to convert it to USD or keep it close at least.

Depending on your donation amount, you can choose from the following cards as long as the values add up correctly. (to be clear, $50 does not get you a 100 eggs card AND a giant, that would be $75)

New Additions:

Con is a little less than three weeks away so we have been trying to come up with a donation drive special to help make this con a great one.

From now until August 2nd 2024, we are offering the following specials.

$150
Unrot Card - Can be used on any 1 item that you own in the game to remove the rot death flag.
White Dragon
Copper Dragon
Green Dragon

$200
Black Dragon
Brass Dragon
Brown Dragon

$300
Steel Dragon
Blue Dragon
Silver Dragon
Bronze Dragon 

Usual Cards:

$150 - Shokono Reclass Special (1k & 100% Skills Spells ONLY usable on the new Shokono reclassed characters)

$25  - Giant
       - 50 Eggs
       - Lower the XP on a character to 25k per level.

$50  - 2nd Merit
     - Change Merit
     - 100 eggs
     - Gully Dwarf limited race
     - Perm
     - Lower a characters XP to 10k per level.

$100 - Max Enchant or Spellcraft (no rot death)
     - Manatonics or Vampires
     - Orc, Ariel, Pixie, Bakali or Centaur Limited Race (No Trolls)
     - Dragonskin (you choose the color)
     - 1k per level
     - 100% skills and spells
     - 1000 BP's
     - 100 Crafting Levels
     - 10 Trains
     - 5 Thauma
     - Perm+  (3 items permed)
     - Change Craft (changes 1 craft to another at the SAME skill level)

     
$200 - Time Saver (1k per level, 100% skills/spells and 2nd merit)
     - OMFG (random bonuses that you'll love)
     - Enchant+ (3 max enchants)
     - Spellcraft+ (3 max spellcraft, no rot death)
 

If you have any questions or wanted something I didn't list, email me at scorn@dsl-mud.org before donating.  I may have forgotten something we normally offer.

Bonuses:

For every $25 donated, I will give you a special code and a link on the website in which to type in this code.  That code will generate a RANDOM prize.  You have a 40% chance to get a 25 egg card, a 20% chance at a 50 egg card and then a smaller % to get one of a bunch of assorted prizes, some of them are pretty nice.  (A few are cards that I've seen players sell for $200 or more)

To be clear, if you donate $100, you will get 4 codes to get random prizes.  If you donate $25, you get 1, etc.  Each code has the same chance as any other.  This allows those of you who wish to help get DSL online but do not have much to spare to have a shot at getting a nice card in return.

BE SURE to write down your code when the screen gives it to you and your prize.  You will only be able to use each code ONE time.

If you donate by check, I will give you an extra random drawing card per every $50 donated.  Checks and money orders have a lot more legal protection and no processing fees, so that is why they are encouraged over paypal, although paypal is also appreciated.

Monthly Drawing:
On the 15th of each month, I will enter your name into a drawing once for every $10 donated the past month.

The winner will receive their choice of a 3rd merit card or a RANDOM Dragon card.  (You pick good or evil)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

*Spellcrafting cards CAN NOT overwrite existing spellcrafts on an item.  You may also not gain more slots of points than already allowed at their maximums.  The spellcraft cards are special because your item can not blow up, you do not have to pay for the gems (except the rare ones such as the ferrite crystals, you will have to provide those) and I will remove the rot death flag from them  after the item becomes so.


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Thank you again to everyone who supports DSL, whether it be playing the game or helping to keep it online.
