Q bypass/donateing

i really want to give lordaeron a try but i don't want to deal with the Q's and i am really to donate so here what i am asking. do i need to donate more then 10$ for Qbypass or more and how long is the Q by pass work for. is it like the old days pay one time and then you get it for life or do i have to pay 10$ every month to keep it?

I'm not sure how the queue skip works as I've never tried it, but there is no queue on Lordaeron these days, so for the time being it's not necessary to do at all. Once new content releases again, there might be a queue for 2-3 months.

I'll leave it to others to answer how the payment works...
