How about publishing the VIP member list? IF it's so "above board" as is claimed.Guys, as I said before:
When it came to selecting the participants of the program, multiple factors were taken into consideration, such as the amount of time spent playing the game, how long ago players joined, and their levels of activity in the game. The amount of funds invested into the game is secondary to all those factors. We hope that the VIP Program will be seen as a nice game addition for an experienced player.
So basically you can call VIPs contributors, but it doesn't mean that they are only contributing funds.
