Donations, the second
« on: April 11, 2010, 12:00:58 am »
Dear Community,

RP-Mods is struggling to cover the server bills. We need some donations to keep the community and the server going.

As of now, there are no donators and it will be tough to get through this month. The game server has already been cancelled with the end of the month, since neither Issetea nor me are willing to pay for everything ourselves. As we said before, all we need from you is $5 to keep the server up. As you know the server is very busy now and hopefully in the near future, more donators will join the community. So if you enjoy playing on the server donate a small amount to keep it running. If people did that, we could run the server and not worry about the next months bill. If we got enough donations, we could upgrade the server to a better one. Imaging playing with 32 players. You can help us do it. I know you can.

Sincerely,
b33

how much do you guys need to get and where would I donate?



maybe you could make exclusive in game items (kinda like DLC) to encourage donating, simple stuff like a new color GTR or stuff like that. As long as it doesn't give an advantage to the players who pay it would be cool.


anway..give me instructions on how to do it and Ill donate some here and there. I love CL and want it to be around over summer when all I do is sleep, eat, gym, videogames.

The post linked by gerkin holds paypal links, you can also PM issetea if you want to directly transfer via IBAN/BIC.

We are thankful for every donation we receive, amounts under 3€ won't be of much use though, paypal has its fees.

How much do you guys need a month to keep the server running?

How much would you guys to get a new/better server?

I get my rent checks from my roomates soon and The money leftover from paying off my credit card bill i can probably donate. Let me know this asap. PM me if you dont feel like listing the numbers on here, but I think the more people who know how much it is, the more its willing to help

Right now, 120€ would have to be payed by Issetea to get into positive balance.

I don't have the numbers in my head right now, I believe it's about 80€ a month, I'm sure Issetea can post the correct ones tomorrow.

May be you should try geting a sponsor.. 9/10 times all they ask of you is to advertise them, its what sg normaly do, try freaksnetwork and TGN I no there looking for people to sponsor in exchange for advertiseing space. We're mainly sposored by freakes network and all we had to do was put there logo on are site and in the credits.

not sure if freaks will sponsor this as they mainly sponsor older games

It used to be on Sahrani Life that you could have your stats saved from a server reset if you made a donation.  Actually that's what I was looking for on these forums when I found this thread.  Is this still the case?  If so, I can donate like $50 USD on Friday.  It'd be worth it to me.

Let me know...

Everyones stats are saved, but obviously without the donations, the server will go down and nobodies stats will be saved

i think what he means that if the admins decide to wipe everyones stats and start clean..i.e. beta to final release
