Donation model

[SWARM]

This server has so many unique things that I'm either looking in the wrong place or getting different information from different sources. Anyway, I'm new here and trying to wrap my head around all the information I'm receiving at once. So, I see that you can buy forever coins for aesthetic-ish rewards in game and I also see platinum? Could someone lay out everything you can spend real money to purchase here? Can you buy gold? What is platinum? Can you pay to buy housing or character skills? Is there any premium content you can purchase?(One shard I saw allowed you to buy whole islands with houses and stables and such already placed.....was very cool).

Thanks in advance.

Real money donations will get you dono coins, which can be used at any of the 3 vendors in WBB or sold to players (going rate is ~180k per 1000 dono). Platinum coins are entirely in-game, given out very sparsely in locked dungeon chests, and maybe some other places I haven't seen yet. This vendor is different from the dono coins vendor and located closer to Brit bridge. There is also a gold sink vendor here, where you can buy elite items with gold.

There are no "pay to play" elements, so houses and skills must be acquired though in-game efforts. Skills can either be trained or raised with skill scrolls. In short, the only way to "boost" your character with RL money is to donate and receive dono coins from the devs and then resell those for gold.

This is all correct, only thing is at the extreme levels $3,000+ (I believe) you are able to purchase houses/islands. There are a few people who've reached these goals currently.
