=== Global Invasion Warning System ===
Automatic invasions will occur without warning unless players donate [[gold coins]] every 30 real life days to the Global Invasion Warning System (GIWS). Donations for the funding of the system are accepted by [[Mesterul Manole]] at the Lakeside Village docks in [[White Stone]]. Donations from all players are combined into one large amount to pay the monthly maintenance fee. Any single donation that exceeds 20k gold coins will be broadcast. When active, the GIWS broadcasts a server-wide warning to all players for all automatic invasions occuring that game-month.

The initial activation took [http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=28587&view=findpost&p=301931 {{nowrap|8 million}} gold coins, {{nowrap|1 million}} sulfur and 500 hydrogenium bars]. The monthly maintenance fee for the maximum level of warnings is [http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=28587&view=findpost&p=302273 200,000] gold coins. There are four (or five if you will) levels of efficiency for the GIWS, [http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=46646&view=findpost&p=471562 depending on funds]:

* '''Inactive''' (funding less than 50k gold coins): The system becomes inactive, and no warnings are broadcast when any automatic invasions occur. It can be reactivated by paying the monthly fee.
* '''Level 0''' (funding at or above 50k gold coins): The system broadcasts a warning when the third (final) wave of monsters spawns at {{nowrap|14 minutes}} after the new hour. (For [[dragon]] invasions, this probably means the third [[map]] of the invasion.)
* '''Level 1''' (funding at or above 100k gold coins): The system broadcasts a warning when the second wave of monsters spawns at {{nowrap|8 minutes}} after the new hour.
* '''Level 2''' (funding at or above 150k gold coins): The system broadcasts a warning when the first wave of monsters spawns at {{nowrap|2 minutes}} after the new hour.
* '''Level 3''' (funding at or above 200k gold coins): At the highest level, the system broadcasts a warning at the beginning of the hour, {{nowrap|2 minutes}} before the invasion starts.

At each level, the system will also broadcast the warnings of each level below it.
