Financial Report: February '17

Recommended Posts

Greetings Elysium Community,

The time has come once again for Elysium to renew it’s web & server hosting — and we must humbly ask the community for assistance.

Our current hosting is set to expire on the following:

  • Zeth’Kur: March 10th
  • Elysium: April 20th 
  • Anathema: Feb 22nd
  • Darrowshire: Good for the next several months
  • Webhost: Feb 16th (We had to swap to a new Web Host due to several technical issues we were having — previous Webhost donations went towards the purchase of new realms)

We received such great support last time we opened donations — we wanted to reach out and thank you once again for contributing to keeping everyone online and able to continue this amazing experience!

You can help to contribute by:

1) The hosting company we are using allows for anyone to directly pay for server hosting. This way, you are able to renew the servers. However, if you use this option, you must pay for the entire month, and not just a portion of it. Go to the OVH and enter machine ID to renew the servers!

  • Zeth'Kur              €310/month        ns3015844.ip-151-80-103.eu
  • Elysium               €310/month        ns3036052.ip-149-202-207.eu
  • Anathema            €310/month        ns3044968.ip-149-202-211.eu

2) Directly to our Paypal account (the link is in the Control Panel: https://elysium-project.org/control/user/donate ).
3) Spreading the word!

Servers should not be paid up for more than 3 months in advance, in case we need to make any changes to the realms with short notice. Once you have completed your donation, please contact me on Forum to update the status of the servers.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported us in the past, and to those who are continuing to support the project every day.

Sincerely,
Elysium Staff

are we sure the paypal donations even go to the servers? their is alot of confusion on this topic.

It does seem like PayPal donations isn't used for server fees as they want people to pay the whole fee in one payment. This is bad I think.

They could easily have ten people pay a tenth of the server cost each if they set up that opportunity.

It's the hosting company that doesn't allow for people to pay the server upkeep in part so if this were to happend, people would have do transfer money to one person that does the whole payment anyway. I believe the paypal money is used for servers as well, as an option to not have to pay the whole amount since then Elysium can do the whole payment at once with peoples collective effort.

20 bucks on the way.

As they stated in the post, they already used PayPal donations for servers. (It's also mentioned in the donation page)

Made a donation to this great project.

FYI, the PayPal link will report a payment to Анна, which may not be what you expect.

 

Cheers!

10eur from me

i suggest to make an ingame message with link to this, cause there are many players dont read forums

Kicked in $10.

I second the above idea. Much more visibility; doesn't need to be every five minutes like the change password; perhaps just on the log-in welcome message, or every hour or two.

They should definately have a paypal account collecting smaller donations and then pay for the server upkeep with that money. Hoping someone will pay over 300$ a month alone to keep up the server is not a super model...

Is there any way that PayPal money can go to an Elysium account that can be used to pay for these things as needed? I can afford to pay $50, but not $340 USD. This would avoid one part of the enterprise being paid up for 6 months and other parts in danger of running out of money every month.

Someone mentioned sending an in-game notice. That seems reasonable. I doubt most of the players use this forum or follow the Elysium Twitter account.

Why don't you merge Elysium and Zeth'kor?? both servers are a lot more empty, not close to the max players on the servers as we had before, we will have more players to play with and you will just have to ask the community to help maintain 3 servers instead of 4 servers. Its 310 less euros spent. Think about it. Look at the servers population. Just merge them.

2 full months of server hosting has been paid for the Elysium realm by guild <See Nobody Cares>, and an anonymous donator! A big thank you to them, and everyone else helping to contribute!
