When the Renaissance shard was founded, it was decided that we would do things differently when it came to shard support. Rather than ask our players for donations, we will only ever ask our players to publicize the shard in their own way. From web posts, forum advertising, to voting this is all we will ever ask.

• Shard Support Information
•     • Renaissance staff will never solicit items or advancement for donations.
•     • Renaissance will never implement a donation shop.
•     • Renaissance will never implement any form of website advertising.
•     • The Server will never shut down due to lack of funds.
•     • Donations will be used primarily for advertising services to attract more players to Renaissance.
•     • Any leftover funds will be used for our hosting costs.
•     • No funds will ever be used to pay staff or contractors for services.
•     • Players who wish to help the server grow can do so in one of the following ways.
