So Tim didn't want me to make this thread, but haha! I will anyway (cackles maniacally).
In this system, ex-donor classes would be unlocked by score (/globalscore), then paid for with points - making them a more exclusive set of classes.

3500 Score:
Great Goblin (2k)
Warg Rider (2k)

6000 Score:
Black Uruk (3k)
Lossarnach Axeman (3k)
Longbeard (3k)

10,000 Score:
Berserker (4k)
Dale Swordmaster (4k)

17,000 Score: (/top 100 players)
Elven Lord (5k)
Citadel Guard (5k)
Gundabad Orc (5k)
Troll Chieftain (6k)
Orc Chieftain (6k)

25,000 Score: (/top 50 players)
Nazgul 20k
Balrog 20k

Pretty dank idea eh?
Even Tim had something to say about it!
"hm yeah maybe" - sjoerdtim

p.s: Feedback pls

[*] Ex-Donor classes: I know this is still being 'thought about' by Tim, and something might happen after his finals are over, but my suggestion is this: 'Donor' classes are unlocked by score, then bought with points. So classes will be unlocked at, lets say 10,000 score (/globalscore), then they can be bought with points.

The reason I said no is simple, this suggestion is against newer players completely

So the hell what? It retains players, which is the point. If new players can get all the classes as soon as they join, then most of them will get bored because they have got nothing to work towards.
 
I would prefer if the classes were unlocked via the old system, just points. As other people have said this score system then points go against newer players to the server forcing them into a long grind to be able to play classes which they may want to play.

One could remove the additional point cost, or lower the score needed.
But I do think that some classes should be exclusive.
 
This will leas to newer players wishing to play less as they will be demolished by classes that will take them ages to get.

True, so maybe the score requirement could be lowered.[/quote]
Maybe for all classes that cost 5k or less there can be no score requirement, and for the rest some small score requirement. 1k score for the 6k classes and 5k for Balrog and Nazgul?
 
As someone who has been playing on the server for sometime and has a decent score, about 15k, and who owns pretty much all of the previous point classes, except maybe 1 or 2, can't remember, this system seems rather reasonable to me, because of the following reasons,

1) By time you have that score you should have accumulated enough points to buy those classes
2) If you take time to acquire that score then it shows you are dedicated to the server, which also means they will be more likely to donate, unless you're poor like me
3) Having a set numerical goal to work for will cause those players who enjoy a grind to fight for that score/points

My only edit would be either lower the score requirements but keep points the same, or lower point requirements and keep score the same, preferably the latter. This system while it may seem unfair to "NEW" players, you forget there are all the OTHER FREE classes along with the regular POINT classes. These would be seen as the UNLOCK-ABLE CLASSES and thus a goal for new players.

Here is what my Score:Point costs would be

2000 Score:
Great Goblin (2k)
Warg Rider (2k)

5000 Score:
Black Uruk (3k)
Lossarnach Axeman (3k)
Longbeard (3k)

7000 Score:
Berserker (4k)
Dale Swordmaster (4k)

12,500 Score: (/top 100 players)
Elven Lord (4.5k)
Citadel Guard (4.5k)
Gundabad Orc (4.5k)
Troll Chieftain (5.5k)
Orc Chieftain (5.5k)

20,000 Score: (/top 50 players)
Nazgul (15k)
Balrog (15k)

1,000,000 Euros (/admin [player])
Flying Cat (1,000,000 Euros
 
This idea + donors who donated for X class before eula van still use it, then I'd give it a solid 5/7
 
I like The idea but not with The global score, it should be much lower like nazgul 10000 global score and balrog 12500 global score and lower things, or just simply disable it and just do it with points
 
Nu. Pls nu sir. Atleast allow those who donated before EULA to keep them.

Of course, I never said not to. But everyone else should be able to get them too.[/quote]

Waaaait you do have Veteran classes don't you? Hmm.
