To the admins/developers
Well, since this game got posted on kongregate maybe you could use the added traffic to sell t-shirts? It gives an incentive to donate (other than the shard of gratitude, which I am unsure whether it is still distributed to donaters) and the money could be used to help pay for the increased bandwidth/server space for pvp. Also, if people wore them in public rather than just buying it as a novelty item, then Elements would get publicity.

If I had the money, I'd definitely buy some sort of merchandise. I don't do t-shirts with stuff on them for the most part. Plain and simple. But other things, definitely.

Well I guess T-shirts might not be too practical as other things. After I posted my previous post I realized that a lot of people might not be too keen on going around wearing a shirt about some game no one has heard of.

I actually had this same t-shirt idea a couple of weeks back. Not only could people buy them, but we could also give them out as rewards for big tournaments and such. How cool would that be?

There's this website that lets you design all kinds of merchandise, including t-shirts, simply by adding an image. They do all the other stuff like printing, shipping, etc. The whole thing is based on the fact that you get a small commission when your product gets sold.

So lets say I make an account when I insert Zanz's paypal and design a black t-shirt with a big Darkness logo in the middle (and maybe a link to the game). This process will take less than 30 minutes. Then we will wait for one year, during which time the shirt sells 100 copies, and Zanz gets 100-150$ on his paypal account.

So 30 minutes of work, 100-150$ in "donations". Pretty good deal.

Here's something I made in 5 minutes: :)

Ok, I need to get back to work. :)

We should definitely have a "Design an Elements Product" competition. We'll make it happen soon.

I love this idea. Not only would I wear something like this, but it would get more people to visit the website!

Obviously, Scaredgirl is the baby ;P

I approve of this idea greatly. Revenue for Zanz, awesome shirts for us. What more could we ask for?

Well, I'll let you guess. It's one of these options:

OPTION A
I called a couple of friends (one of them has a baby) and we went to buy some blank shirts. Then we went to my house and spend the next two hours designing the shirt images and printing the images on the shirts. Next we setup a little photo studio with all the lights and everything. Then we took a bunch of pictures and finally I uploaded them on this thread. The whole process took about 6 hours but was totally worth it.

OPTION B
I made the images in 10 minutes using the design tool provided by the websites.
