Donation Changes
- Heritage now uses a fully in-game donation ( [donate ) system that has replaced the website version.
- Use the [donate command in-game to access the new system. (menus have been cleaned up and various bugs addressed from the testing phase)

- The system is fully automated, and donations will now award Sovereigns directly to the player's bank box after successful payment and in-game claim. There is no staff involvement needed.
- Donations are linked by account but any character on that account can claim the Sovereigns to their bank (pending enough space).
- If the bank box is full, the payout is not lost.
- The system will remember that payment was received and allow the player to claim again after freeing bank space.
- If the bank box is full, the payout is not lost.
- Sovereigns will still be deposited as a virtual item that can be traded and must still be double-clicked to be added to an account for store use.
- $1 USD = 100 Sovereigns. (same rate as before)
- Donations must be entered in whole dollar amounts only.
- Minimum donation accepted is $5.
- Maximum donation accepted is $200.
- Only one active donation order may exist per account at a time.
- Added world save protection to donation finalization.
- After Sovereigns are delivered, the donation remains in a temporary finalized state until the next world save completes.
- Players may not begin another donation during this period.
- This is intentional and prevents duplicate or lost payouts if the shard crashes between delivery and a world save.
- If a crash occurs before the next successful world save, the system can safely re-open the claim and redeposit the Sovereigns.
- Added support for canceling unpaid donation orders.
- Players may cancel unpaid orders through the [donate menu.
- Canceling is only allowed if the PayPal payment has not been paid.
- If an order has already been paid, canceling will be refused and the player will be instructed to claim instead.
- If an order has already expired or been voided on PayPal, the local record will be cleared so the player can start over.
- Use the [donate command in-game to access the new system. (menus have been cleaned up and various bugs addressed from the testing phase)
- Total donations from now on are tracked on an individual account level and are no longer tracked on TrueUO.com.
- There are now ten unique titles that can be unlocked through the donation system:
- Friend Of Heritage
- Patron Of Heritage
- Reeve Of Heritage
- Warden Of Heritage
- Squire Of Heritage
- Knight Of Heritage
- Steward Of Heritage
- Marshal Of Heritage
- High Treasurer Of Heritage
- Golden Hand Of Heritage
- Titles can be accessed by clicking on yourself once in-game, selecting Title Menu, Subtitles, Donations.
- There are now ten unique titles that can be unlocked through the donation system:
- Website donation tracking goes back to 2018. Over the next few weeks / months I will be contacting donators to ask them what account in-game they would like their cumulate total applied to for title purposes.
- In a future update Rank will no longer factor in the amount of Sovereigns on an account but will instead assign a new value based on an accounts actual donations over time.
- Resource Storage Cabinet changes:
- Original source documentation may be outdated:
- When withdrawing resources players will now be able to check the "withdraw as commodity deed" box.
- As long as they have the purchase price, in their backpack, of a commodity deed the withdrawn resource will be added to your backpack inside of said deed.
- When not checked the resource will be withdraw as itself, per normal.
- Back-end enhancements:
- Added some more backend improvements to packet buffers to hopefully alleviate ping spikes for individuals further away from the host.
- New teleporter regions added to access the next level in the Orc dungeon. (currently blocked until the region is fully implemented)
- Looking for more feedback here:
- Coding progress can be tracked here:
