The ideas up to 4 sounds good. Pay to win through is awful. Also, there should be no "loot boxes". You pay for what you get. I am not sure about new mounts trough, only if the mount have the same abilities as other mounts eg. nothing special.

Special events for those who pay could separate the community. Not sure if it is a good idea.

Having customized NPCs or places where you can design might be something people will pay for. Such places should be available to visit for everyone.

There's MMORPGs with ability to leave your character to keep shop up, etc. after the player logs out. That could be neat

How would that work?

New skins and clothes make the game more alluring to RPers and that has been the base of this community for most of its existence so paying for those things would hurt its niche factor I think. But yeah 1-3 are alright.

Edit: I am kinda on the fence about #3 though. It needs to be impressive enough, visually, to be worth it. Most games don't ask money for increased visuals. The engraving and stuff maybe!

Visual engravings on the object model itself. That would be something.

What about simple recognition for donors like a title? I knew of a free forum once, that was free to all, but those who donated got an honorary title. People donated to keep the forum alive because they liked the content and environment, not so much for the title.

Or maybe the ability to have forum avatars?
