LE, dont forget to get a donation system up and going. You'll get a great deal of revenue from all of us poking in on this thread beacause it would be well deserved.

Get us our own home, a base, then you could have more developers come in and possible take interest in this project and that will take a great load of work off of you. The name of the game is advertising and getting the word out that theres a new hotness in the world of MMORPG Emulators. I have a feeling that once its there, it will take off with lightning speed. Maybe not as good as this project did in its hay-day, but still enough to make us all go wtf?

Geeze all these LE sightings and the post has got me all tore up. I'm going to go launch off some fireworks and wake up the neighbors now.

Them - "What the hell's going on out here"
Me - "IT"S EQ2 EMU BABY WOOT WOOT!!"

I dont like donation systems for a variety of reasons. Either people donate too much or too little for the hosting but no matter how much they donated some people feel that you owe them something. I would much rather work on a project that I enjoy and put in enough money to cover the server cost myself (if google ads arent enough) than to have some teenage kids telling me that I NEED to fix something for them because "they donated $5". If you dont enjoy your hobbies, you might as well get a second job because thats what it turns into. :P

Hehe, I'm really not that cynical, just trying to explain why I dont like donations

Exactly. Some people don't know the difference between donations and subscriptions.

Less stress = more work done, and more motivation. I'd rather have a developer working on something that he enjoys; especially if he's not getting paid for it.

Our networking instructor told us, "If you don't like your job, get out while it's early enough to do so, otherwise you'd be doing something you don't like the rest of your life. If that's not the field you like, change it before it's too late."

So yeah, gonna have to agree with Lethal here and hope that google ads pay for it.
