Enable donations please

Recommended Posts

Why aren't donations enabled? I found that you can send money via PayPal, bit I don't have PayPal account. Why there aren't few ways to donate (wire transfer, credit/debit card)?

Running such a project requires a lot of time and dedication. I see nothing wrong people who invest those to get rewarded with money. Even if 20% of the player base donates like 1$/month it will make up for some of the engagement of the staff. We are not talking about shops or anything as reward. I mean pure donation because you like something that's being brought to you. I tip in the restaurant, tip in the taxi and so on. It's the same. Since we are many, the entire project can be financed in such a way.

@Vollfos Why? Did i write something funny?

@arbet in my country (Bulgaria) it's a practice to round up the bill in a taxi (Example: bill of 7.23 BGN you give 8 BGN). That's not really a tip - most driver will just say: "Sorry, can't change those.." I think it's like that everywhere around the world..

This has already been covered. There are two ways to donate:

A) You cover the cost of the servers for one month, roughly costing 1,200 Euro per month

B) You make a donation via PayPal with any amount that you wish.

In addition, you don't have to have a PayPal account to make a donation. Make a one time payment as a guest.

I guess it should also be mentioned that, last time I checked, donations have been closed because within the first 24 hours of being opened they received enough to keep the servers running for 6~ months + surplus.

If they need support for the server you can rest assured they will ask for it and nerds like myself will support it.

Keep your money in a "tip jar" and use it when donations open up again in a few months.

@Shayss you are right. My worries are entirely about the fact that the people keeping these servers running, do it simultaniously with their jobs. It's hard to work 40 hours a week and at the same time have the free-time and energy for running WoW project. I'll gladly donate so they receive some additional income, not only about server costs.

They cannot make profit or will be shutdown,I guess. But I would like the way how to pay them some kind of wage's or dunno how to call it, tip? :p Otherwise they can get tired of this project, family pressure and other life stuff.

It is only logical.
