I am not trying to buy your donations with in game items.
I would hope you enjoyed the shard enough and understood the time and money I spend everyday to keep it running and updated that you would want to donate to help the shard. The gifts was only to show that you are a donating member in game.

monthly cost for me to host the shard: $90+
monthy time I spend working on the shard: 260+ hours
monthly cost for you to play: 0
