Pre-Announcement for Guild Server

Due to the server lag during arma we decided to get a new - faster - machine for guild server to improve the general performance.
This will hopefully improve the gameplay for all.
The reset will start on the old server and we plan to move to the new server within the next week.

The server upgrade wasnt in our financing plans, and therefore we would like to ask you for a special donation round to cover the setup fees and overlapping time of running old (and new) guild server. Our savings are nearly consumed and better server result in higher monthly costs.

We havent asked for donations for a very long time - mosts of time server costs have been covered by supporting guild donations (more or less).

We will need 219 Euro for the rearranging guild server.
It would be very nice to fill up our saving too, to ensure server funding in less golden times.
Donations can be made via Paypal, follow the link on pprtal entry page http://www.the-reincarnation.com.
If there are any questions, you can contact me via PM.

Thanks for your time

Supporting Guild Improvements

• Notepad
• Sharing of Battle Reports with your guildmates (You have to explicit set in your options to allow your battle reports to be shared)
• Showing Power Loss on the Battle Reports
• Spell Tracker (With the same delay as the dispel page. This will also take up arena count)
• Hiding of Non-attackable/pillage-able mages or hiding by mage color on the ranking page
• Showing of Online Status for mage in the arena result (equivalent to the chronicles entry)
• Showing of whether you can attacked the mage before in the arena result (equivalent to the chronicles entry)
  For example, if you attacked the mage in the last 48 hours, the 48h and 72h will be bold.
• A building helper
• Spell Tracker is shareable with allied guilds (You have to explicitly set it in Guild Management to allow your members to share their spells on the tracker with allied guilds)
• Add mages to enemy list from their arena information
