Kingdom of Knuffel

i hope not too!

but hopefully it's something as simple as that July 1st fell between two paychecks, like it did for us. it makes people budget a little tighter to make sure they have enough for rent & bills on the 1st, because their next check won't come til after everything is due and they don't want any penalties. hopefully that's the case & you'll get a bunch more this weekend.

I usually donate once every (other) month or so to get the Limited item's. Because of this Offer I just donated a week earlier and twice in a little more than 7 days.
But with out this offer I definitively would have donated around the first. And I will do that again.
Right now I'm just a bit strapped on money.

Well, I can not speak for other areas, but both Canada and the States had their big national holidays that happened to make a long weekend, which is when a LOT of people go on vacation or leave to visit family. Could be part of your shortfall.


Personally? I thought the sale was a great opportunity and I bought $50 worth. Made a nice gift for a friend and a bit for myself to stock up in advance for future months. If you don't have a sale again, I'll probably never donate again. $2.50 for a single coin is more than I am willing to pay for the services available. It's paying real money to dress up an avatar on a site that is just a forum, and a really slow, quiet forum at that. I just can't bring myself to pay full price for a site that I post at once every few days and click my knuffels in my spare time. Think of it like a video game that is a lot of fun, and has really lovely graphics, but is really short and you know you'll only get a few hours of play out of it. Best to buy it on clearance or used, you know? Maybe once one of your patrons develops a working avatar simulator so I can try out outfits, once the fighting is implemented, or if traffic picks up a bit I'll be more inclined to improve my avatar. Those are just my personal feelings though.

Any how, I hope when people come back from vacation that they make their monthly purchases or that they spent enough during the sale to cover the site. Thank you for the sale and I look forward to seeing what direction you take the kingdom in.

well hopefully all the fabulous new stuff in the TT get's some donations flowing! and Nekomancer could well be right about the holidays effecting it.

I'm in Amura's second case, I have enough FCs for many Treasure Trove releases x_xU I bought the 60 dollars offer, and had already bought several FCs recently ... I WILL donate again, as you know I'm a usual donator, but only to get the ***, and it won't be very soon.

I think its because most people are on vacation, and I for example want to save up to see if I can go on a trip.

I'm sure the donations will go up as the summer advances =)

EDIT: also, bare in mind that this offer was barely a week ago! (the end of the offer anyway) so you can't expect people to donate so soon again. The people that would have donated now donated then.
