I can override the system if you want, give Mr.Spam Badge back, while you keep your donor privileges.

Well, William is somewhat running out of money. He put out around 500$ so far on the website during the last 4 years. (website is around 130$ per year). So priority one, to pay future payment, priority two, to give William some money back of the 500$ he put out so far.

So we should exchange our currency to US dollars:)

Other question: Is there any option of donating your mod via bank transfer?

@Other Currencies

Donating over paypal will automaticly convert the your currency into USD, so let's say in your currency is SEK (mine, Swedish Krona) 1 USD is about 7 SEK. So when I donated 14 USD, it was converted in SEK (I think it was 95 SEK yesterday, would been 98 SEK today) and that amount was withdrawn from my account (95 SEK) and transfered into Williams account (14 USD).

indeed, he is correct. I had the same thing with the Euro (Netherlands).
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.

I could check with William, but if you got a Credit or Debt Card (Visa, Mastercard etc) it's really easy to donate with paypal.

the donating 5+ USD allows pre-loading of ostheer, but does that mean that the ostheer are only being released to them?

of course no! Ostheer will be released ASAP, and the donations are doing willingly.

Pre-loading Ostheer basically means that the Ostheer patch will be released like a day or two earlier for these guys. Exact definition will be decided closer to release tbh, it may simply be that you can download it before, but can't play it before (kinda like steam has sometimes).

Just something extra for those that donate 5+, since there are a bunch of things there.
