Financial Report: Hardware Costs

Recommended Posts

Would be nice to donate to the server if it wasnt at 310 EU chunks.

 

I'd love to see how far people have donated servers just like the webhosting bar.

Thank you for the link.  For some reason I can sign into the forums but my login and pw do not work on that control panel.

You need to use your game account to login to the control panel, not your forum account.

Agreed. People love filling up bars. Being able to give small chunks and give us a visual would go right up our alley.

I did not have a nost account nor an Elysium account.  When are we expecting to open those back up so I can give you my money?

I'm concerned the servers are once again hosted by OVH.

 

How will you handle a new Cease & Desist from Blizzard?

By ignoring them (for now). Reality is, they send C&Ds to all the servers to protect their trademark. They just only have been taking them to court if a server actually made money from their "donations" (read: paying for gear).

The thing about trademarks is that you can loose them if you cannot show a court that you are actively fighting for them. This is primarily why blizzard are sending out CnD letters.

Nost chose to shut down and they chose to go the martyr route, in the hopes of getting blizzard to up their (legacy)game.

Blizzard did not, and that is why we are all here :)

 

Edit: seems like i may have quoted the wrong person, but the point stands :)

I can proudly say I have just donated. Sent 30 Euro and am defenitely going to donate again. THANKS SO MUCH!

Though, would be awesome to donate smaller amounts to the gaming servers, too.

Forgive my abruptness of this post. But I had to make a forum account to say this.

 

Leaving it up to the community for Option 1 is just not realistic.

The other option of people donating into a paypal account, and then you guys paying for the server is much more realistic.

 

I suggest a front page tally/progress bar showing the current monthly goal for donations.

After a month of the server being up, I will be donating monthly through the paypal method.

Seems reasonable. I'll for sure donate a couple euros monthly!

What do you mean? All donations are for the servers.

This has to be implemented quickly! That is what we all want to see. We want to fill up bars.

Game host funding vs Web host funding

minimum €310/month vs any sum

on the right side it says donate via paypal, you can give whatever amount you want. You could give 30 cents or $1000. And it has a progress bar!

You guys should consider accepting bitcoin donations.  Its a globalized currency and it is extremely easy to accept donations- that is one of its greatest strengths.  Many large organizations already do like Reddit and Wikipedia.

the problem is, that the host they use for the servers may not accept bitcoin. And if that is the case, it is useless to them.
