One day I was surfing the site when I realised that there wasn't a shop to sell T-shirts abd stuff, and I thought it would be a good idea to have one as a way to help support WFG instead of only a paypal donation. I'm sure that there will be a lot of buyers (including me

) due to the large fan base, and would really help speed up production (due to more money) and raise fan moral :blush:

Just how would more money speed up things when we work for free?

We need money, and lots of it! In burlap sacs with green dollar signs on the sides! Lol

True, but those are just a question of whether or not the game can continue being developed. It's generally not as if the development is going to go a lot faster if we can buy a fancy server or something. A bit smoother perhaps, but not really faster.

I believe that the main reason why we don't do something like this is because we don't want to sell merchandise for a game that's not yet finished. It can be a totally different thing once it's released though.
