Summer is coming up and once I get out of school, and back to a job, I can contribute about 20-30$ a month.... I think You will have plenty people contribute, I just dont think the people that play on the servers ever go on this website or read the forum, but once the word gets out there will be donations and appreciation for what you guys do.
Thanks again guys!
Peace!

Sadly, I'm on disability..which means im on a fixed income. If i could though, I would certainly donate to this cause. Eqemu has kept me from going out of my mind numerous times, and really I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation. I hate that I rely on others that donate but as a whole, I love eqemu. I hope people pull together and keep the project running.

I haven't donated in the past because the methods I've seen thus far on this forum are directed at individuals, and it seems a lot of people come and go here due to life being how it is. I know the main ones (FNW, Doodman, etc.) are recipient options, but I've been looking for an opportunity to put money towards a cause exactly like this one.
That said, how can I put money towards hosting these forums? I'd prefer it not go directly to any one individual (as I don't know anyone well enough to show any favoritism  ), but if there isn't a method in place for donating directly for the hosting then I'll settle for one person who gives their word that that's what my money will go towards.
Donation inbound, pending the response. This is such a fantastic project to be (even a small!) part of, let's keep it going

the whole project is run by individuals, so no ,atter what the donation will go to an individual.
Send donations directly to Doodman, he is the one thats is going to need to pay for everything, and everything will end up being in his name anyway.
Even if there was a donate to the project link that didnt name names it would still go to the same people.

Wow, this really bites... i agree with Angelox and techguy84, we need to keep this going... i may not play very much, due to work, but i always jump on when i get a little free time on my hands and see what kinda mess i can get myself into... so once things brighten up for me i will be sure to donate, curently unable to as i have no money cuz i had to get surgery done, so i havent worked about about a week, but once the big pay check comes back ill be sure to drop $20 or $30 every now and then.

Well, I am going to start a fund rasier with T.V. specials. I got a guy that can play the tuba using is left ear while simultanously picking 15 locks with his feet, with shoes on I might add.
Operaters are standing by.......
Donate now and I will even throw in this free ultra portable refigator that doubles as a back pack, fishing rod, cable tv tuner, GPS tracker, car alarm, golf caddie and toothpick.
Also, if you call in the next 12 mins 34.55 secs we will also give you a deluxe coffee pot capable of storing 19GB of your favorite MP3's.
Anyhow, my donations on the way here in about 3 days. I know I am cutting it close, but thats the best I can do at the moment. May only be 10-20 dollars at the moment. But I can keep it coming hopefully.

partial hosting
if push comes to shove, i offer my pipe for hosting, i have 3 public addresses that i'm not using right now ( i have commercial grade cable model access that provides 5 dedicated static addresses, of which 1 is my web/email server and another is my eqemu server.
obviously a dedicated rack situation would be optimal, but worse case, this would buy time until such a situation appeared.
if anyone in the dev team is near portland, oregon, we could meet over a beer and discuss issues/details/etc.
anyway, count me among the crowd that would be most upset if this "all went poof".

Got some OT for this check incoming... I will try and throw $100-$300 IF I can figure out the damn pay-pal thing... never used it and up until now have NOT ever been interested in it...But I SURE AS HELL dont want to see EQEmu gone. I am like Tech, in that, I dont play much any more but I like to set up a server when the emu changes just so I can come here and help support other people to get their problems solved....
P.S. BTW what kind of figures are we talking about here to get re-located?

hosting
In the past did the hosting also used to have a problem. I beleive not just any hosting company will due. I think did SOE have a couple other server sites shut down thru there hosting comapny. It has to be a foreign hosting company i believe but could be wrong.

This link will lead you straight to Doodmans paypal donate;
http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?user_id=1113174
select what ever amount you want to donate, and you will get to an option for credit card, or if your a PayPaler, sign in and pay.
Doodman is the one to donate to , he carrys the bills.
You can view who already donated here
http://sourceforge.net/developer/use...ser_id=1113174
Thanks a lot for you help everyone!
For the "nobody" donors: say who you are in the comment line - but I think I see two more donors already. If so, say who you are here. I'm hoping Matt will re do the forums and include donor privs.
Sourceforge is an old and trustworthy institution, I just joined very quickly and easy.

How about for the mean time, get a virtual server. It's cheap and should work as a temporary solution for the mean time... I have a dedicated 100mbit box in Chicago but it's windows and i'm quite sure the developers want to keep the LoginServer as private as possible!

Don't worry about how much you donate, If you look at the history, very few people have even donated at all, I think we already broke the donation record with what we have done.
I really appreciate you all helping out with what you can. I know Doodman works long hours and is always pressed for time. He'll get here and post also.

Just a thought, but when people start donating money consistently, it might be a good idea to post reciepts and whatnot about where the money is going. Not so much to please those who donated, but when people see this they will be more likely to help out. I've seen other emu servers ask for donations and then just take off with the money and shut their server down and close their forums. Not to say that that will happen here as I'm sure you're all reasonable people that are working towards a common goal, so 100$ wouldnt be enough money for you to throw it all away. Sorry if somebody else posted this idea but i was too tired to read all the replies =P
Just my 2cp,
