I think I donated to Gaia once... but I've donated at least 5x more to mene so far.
Gaia now has an elitist group set up for people who donate a lot... which gets on my nerves because that really alienates people from tons of features.

I hated that whole cash item thing that exists in Gaia...it does cause a greater divide.

I think the biggest item i ever had was the devils tail.
Man shoulda kept all my stuff but pretty much gave it up when i left there.
Aww kiki's i loved them! My fav item will always be the bunny slippers. I got so close to having them too.

Haha, see at least you had the option of keeping your items on an inactive account, I lost all my items to a glitch that caused me to not even be able to log in initially. It was so weird, and because the issue of getting my then, millions of gold worth of items I just gave up and left.

See, I didn't do anything against terms of service, or had any involvement with scammers and the like...my account just had a problem that happened one day out of the blue. I've mentioned this a few times here on Mene, in a nutshell, I couldn't access my account with my password, found a mod with my mule who told me a number to use instead of password, which worked, but then I found all my items gone, gold gone, and I had 25 cash which I never purchased.

Yeah i'd get fed up too.
That happened to me on Lunae saga. Some glitch made me lose hundreds of EIs from their event. And all i got from the admin was sorry, and we'll compensate you. But yeah never happened. Now the site is dead lol.

Oh Ling it's worse than just "Oh I can buy Cash Shop Items and you can't"...
Now if you spend enough you get into an exclusive (And I mean EXCLUSIVE) for people who spend like 10,000 cash a year or something...
Not only that but this club gives exclusive access to a group, items, raffles, and even getting a piece of art from one of their artists. This stuff sells for an obscene amount of gold that even artists selling can't afford.

Oh dear, it seems the divide has increased since I left. That's a horrible way to exclude people. I think it's a not so subtle attempt to get more funding through pressure on young users that would want those special items and art.

I hardly ever buy anything online, such that I don't even have a paypal account and I don't even carry my card on me when I usually go out. I don't mind supporting Menewsha in terms of using and possibly spreading the word, but financially, I can't justify given my personal circumstances, donating to a website that I don't get anything real from.

Ah, well I understand that completely. I felt the same way before but I thought Menewsha is a secure place and I wouldn't mind donating towards it. I only buy one CI if I really want it, if I have the extra funds. I haven't really went on a splurging spree. But I don't see myself donating anymore online. I have PayPal but I don't use it anymore. And you don't have to justify that, it's a simple disagreement based on the fact that like you said, you don't get anything real from it.
I tend to purchase real things online, though. Only because they may be cheaper versus in store purchases.

Yes, I understand, I know many people are buying things cheaper online...I'm a bit old fashioned in that regard but I like to see what I'm buying before I buy it...especially things like clothes and shoes I don't think I'd ever buy them online because I would feel the need to try before I buy for a good fit.
