EQEmu losing hosting - Page 2

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,

Wow. Glad I decided to check the forums today rather than waiting a few more. I'll get around ~$16 off to you guys within the next 24 hours. (heh, rather pay you guys the normal subscription fee than SOE)

Though unnecessary (hell, I'll sign in to do so once a month).. I seem to recall someone telling me that paypal offered a subscription payment feature. If so, that'd certainly aid consistent payments/donations.

I really couldn't care less about perks. If they'll help pull in donations, and if they're as harmless as special titles/etc... why not? But if they'd take much any effort whatsoever to implement.. I'd much rather see that effort invested in the emu.

Here's hoping our efforts will be sufficient to keep this running.

If you guys can use the lowest end hosting solution (99$/month), that is only 5$ per month from 20 people.

Hey guys:

I kicked in $20, hope it helps. Any chance we could get a status update?

Also, I run a dedicated P4 3.2Ghz 1GB RAM Linux box with SUSE 10.2 on which I'm running EqEmu (WintersHaven, only up when I'm playing around with the db and testing, or playing with friends) in a Debian text based VM - if you're desperate I'm happy to help, although obviously you don't know sh** about me

Thought I'd offer tho.

Good luck!

Regards,
Mg

If needed, I can share the project (web, svn and so on) on the shared hosting service I owned for free.

Latency with International are fine and the plateform is far enough to support this kind of project.

You're right, Matt. FNW posting "we're ok for now but need to figure out some stuff to be ok long term" is basically what I was after, and all that's really needed to be said at this point.

this message seems to be without any interest from your.
My hosting service is a real service. No a simple computer behind an adsl.
