What about a Stone that would let you Private a champ with you and who ever is in your party, and a gump would come up and you could just pick which one you wanted to do?

  Sounds like a bad idea to me. Pay to win... maybe you've heard of it?  There is a better way to get something like this. Ask Dante to run a specific champ, when he does his triple champ nights. Perhaps an official, random/set champ day.. run by staff, of course.

  However, being able to pay for [donate] a specific champion spawn seems like breaking all the rules. Why do people check all the spawns, if all they have to do is pay for the one they want..?

  Lazy does not equal fun.

We have had this option for about a year.  It is triggered manually by a gm.  I allowed this so guilds and newer players could do a champ and practice without the fear of pk.  It's not used very often and has really not been an issue

Sturger... have you read the donation page? Last item in this section.

http://uoevolution.com/wiki/index.php/Donations#Player_Services

That has been an option for over a year and I haven't heard that it was discontinued. All that was asked for was an automated version of an existing donation option.

  I have read the wiki... but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion. Donating for a service like this is just a bad idea, IMO. Especially when Dante and staff are online regularly and run champions spawns.

  I was told, when the revert happened, that the focus was on fixing old mistakes and balancing the economy. IMO, a balanced economy doesn't involve items/events, that can be loaded by a player.  {Note} I have more opinion on this topic, but you will have to PM, in game, me to talk about it, as I am not trying to create a rant here.

  Champion spawns are this free-shards money maker {unless that has changed in the last week, since i've been away} and allowing anyone with the time and money to just pop out a Champion is a mistake, IMO.

  **Note** I can understand why the option to do so is on the wiki. Once upon a time this free shard didn't have 300+ members playing on it; so the possibility for the 20 to 40 beginning members to be friend's or even online at the same time was probably low. So adding this to the donation list was a reasonable solution to end game fun at the time.

  In closing, I am not arguing for this donation option to be taken off the list; I am, however, against any additions to this feature (aside from bug fixes  ;) ).


   Just one mans opinion...
