Something not to do
Jerry:
But you missed that there will be some 'features' that are available through buying with real money... as another pillar for the cost of hosting the site I suppose... :-\

You can do it like sven-co op.
If you give:
Any amount: you can make your name into a different color (something simple to show that this person donated
5dollars: You get this awesome, reusable, pokeball thing (You know the thing you attach to your pokeball so when you send them out it pops out with smoke and prettyness)
10 dollars: You get an epic jacket or cape or something.
And from then on there's nothing. perhaps a star for every 10 next to their Trainer ID, to indicate how much of a donater this person is.
This way you're not giving them much, just kind of showing "This person donated"
Then again that might be too much too. Perhaps any form of "giving" may become illegal.
I agree with FrenchFry too.
Any form of mall is bad. Even if you go for a "maplestory" format to where all you can get is cloathing.
Then you have all these standards, and this guy is blaring looking as epic as gary in a "holy poop this guy is too epic for my epic goggles i'mma goin blind" fashion.
Those people grow to obtain an E-Penis, and become complete assholes.
You also just feel bad standing next to them, even if you aren't being demeaned by them.
I mean that's how real life works. If you have this person who's standing next to you who's Hot/Handsome with this Epic body and great outfit you're going to feel....well meager.
I would rather not succumb players to almost "needing" something. That's kind of why i like the "jacket, name plate, and pokeball flash thing."
It's nothing too flashy, it's nothing huge, it's just a:
"Oh cool he donated" kind of feel. I mean when I stand next to a guy with an electric crowbar in sven co-op with double golden uzi's I don't feel any less of a player. Why? Because it's so simple.
That's the only way I could see donating being ok, though, but as I stated before I don't know if even that is "illegal"

If we start offering things in exchange for these donations, we have done the equivalent of an equal trade. Which, by all means and standards, is us selling a product.
It may be slightly grey, but it would definitely be clear cut enough for an action to be taken.

Yeah that's what I was basing my "it might still be illegal" situation on.
Sora:
I'm very much with the idea of just showing people, that you donated, but not acually getting any advantages. Oh, and seals (the sparkly pokeball things) should be avalible to everyone, just those, wo donated could get maybe more advanced or diffrent ones.
