When you have a server that offers nothing in return for donations or something as small as a Title to thank you people do not expect anything for the donations and you'll find a lot more people donate to a server they feel like playing. I have seen this happen in so many communities in my three or so years in the Warband community but I have also seen the effect of offering "Compensation" for "Donations" to a server. When you give people a price for things people will get so used to those prices that everyone will expect that in future, even when its removed.
Because of this fact, I sadly see servers with a long running time dying quite soon out of no one elses fault but there own. I'd love to say "All good things come to an end" but honestly, the person I am talking of knows personally that at the start of his server me and many others were fervently against the use of "Donation Rewards" for obvious reasons and now justice has swiftly been served.
Taleworlds or at least it's past Community Team are honestly to blame for letting this go on for so god damn long. Please in future fix things as they come, not when they are already screwed.
Also, Just so you know, your grace period is being abused. I don't know if this was just oversight or anything but allowing a grace period of this long only makes you look incompetent as you have been a direct cause of this malpractice.
Edit: Also, why is the OP not updated publicly with this new date of the 20th of this month?
