Each month, we set a distinct donation goal for our PVE cluster. This goal not only help cover the estimated monthly running costs for our ARK cluster, but also provide our community with better visibility.
Achieving this goal will trigger a nice community-wide bonus!
As donations come in, the meter gradually fills up and at the end of the month, we review the total. If the goal is met, we activate full-week boosts for the following month. Current boosts are: Level Up (XP), The Harvest (Resources), Taming Spree (Taming) and Baby Boom (Breeding).
Checks are done manually by the admin team, so there might be a slight delay in activating the boosts if the goal is met at the last minute.
For example: The PVE goal for March has been met. We will activate full-week boosts on PVE throughout April.
Recurring charges contribute to the monthly goals, as they give us a clearer picture of our current donation status.
Ad-hoc donations, such as points or cosmetics, do not have a fixed schedule and are not as reliable for us to use. Instead, they contribute to our other ongoing objectives, like upgrading our infrastructure or purchasing new hardware as required.
