Due to the increase in our server bills in the past few months and the demand for some more Donation features we are adding a new rank to Badlion Network this coming weekend. The new rank will be called [Lion]. This donation rank will be above the current Donator+ rank. From time to time we get requests to add higher ranks on Badlion with more cool features that the players can use and share with their friends. We are heavily opposed to pay to win schemes here at Badlion and we always try to make sure that Donation perks that we add do not give one player an advantage or another player.

This all being said the new donation rank will include the following features at the moment:

[Lion] tag
The ability to whitelist one friend in a UHC. Have you ever wanted to play a to2 (teams of 2) with a friend but they can't get in because they don't have Donator and they didn't get lucky enough with a slot? You will now be able to use /wl add [name] to add a friend to the whitelist.
You can spectate 500x500 Border shrink in UHC instead of 100x100
Similar to above we will make it possible for you to give a friend Donator priority on SG servers as well (so they don't get booted if a Donator joins the game).
You can whitelist a friend to get on the PotPvP servers as well during peak time when they fill up and you want to play with your friend. (Should be live on 5/23)
Votes for maps count for 4 votes on SG instead of 3 (Donator+ ) or 2 (Donator)
You can change the color of your chat messages from white to another color if you want. (Should be live on 5/23)
You can specify certain colors for chat messages for your friends in chat. So for instance you can make the entire chat light blue and then you can mark some people as green/red/yellow or other colors to make it so that your friends/enemies messages stick out more. (Should be live on 5/23)
You can gift 40 matches to a friend on PotionPvP/PracticePvP 4.0 instead of 20 matches (Donator+)
Lobby Pets and Particle effects (Coming soon).

To clarify if you change the chat color settings these only affect what you see. Other people who do not have the Lion rank and have not customized their chat color settings will still see the normal white messages. So if I change a bunch of players to have different chat colors only I see the different chat colors on my client. No one else is affected by the settings that i customize.

These are the current planned features for the new [Lion] rank at the moment. The final things to mention are that it will cost $75 for the permanent rank or $15/mo. There will also be an upgrade option from Donator+ to Lion for $25. As always if you donate on the same account up to the equivalent of one of these higher ranks we will upgrade your account if you make a post in the Donator forums.

To clarify if you are permanent Donator already and you want to upgrade to the Lion rank you will need to upgrade to Donator+ permanently first for $20 and then use the Donator+ -> Lion upgrade after.

Thanks and happy to answer any questions :)
