Don't forget about FNW! That last donation you see was me (I just forgot to log in sourceforge).

We need to give these guys a reason to stay around!
So lets lay some bucks on him too.

Hello all
I am not playing right now but I am very eager to setup my own server for my friends once the project moves on just a little bit farther. To make sure that this is a possibility I would be glad to do a monthly donation as soon as a good system is in place. I will go ahead and donate something in a few minutes for this month.

As others have stated donating to a single person dose not seem right. I do not know the best way to set it up but I am sure there is a good way that many others have done before that you could copy. Until a better system is in place I will be keeping my donations smaller and will be unlikely to setup a monthly auto pay.

Also as I do not play now I do not check the forms that often. normally once a week some times once every 2 weeks. Not sure if there is anyone that has time to do this but a weekly or monthly newsletter on the progress of the project or problems like this I would be glad to sign up too. just a thought.

Thanks for all the hard work
Starblight

never donated money like this before is this correct sounding

This email confirms that you have paid OSDN / VA Software (staff@sourceforge.net) $10.00 USD using PayPal.

I followed the link posted above just want to make sure it went to the right place.

Thanks

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

My hosting service is a real service. No a simple computer behind an adsl.

This thread is not about donating hosting space, it's about donating money - read the original post.

There was offerers from at least 5 people for Boxes, No offense to you, but its a trust issue, anyone who hosts it would have access to everything, login server, forums, peoples user names and passwords.

This is one of the reasons this type of assistance wasnt taken from people thats aren't well known.

Hello,
If I may make a suggestion -

I know this probably isn't something that will probably happen, but its just a suggestion...

Why not sell some sort of premium account for EQEmu, and make there be special features for premium users?

This is pretty common practice - even plain old web sites like Caster's Realm, Allakhazam, have premium membership offers.

This type of "taking it personally" is precisely why the admins do not take just anyone's offer. If you get all bent out of shape because they won't jump at your generous offer, what will you do when someone pisses you off in 6 mos?

No offense, don't take it personally really. My offer was ignored, too, and Mattmeck LOVES me!

will give SOE a reason to shut us down if we charge for anything here..... they can then claim were making a profit off there product.

Whats the status on the move? How much cash do you have? How much do you need?

I was thinking that while I was reading his post, haha.
I'm sorry I can't donate, I have no money left in my paypal account at the moment. I will donate as soon as I have some money.

So why hasn't SOE shut down the other sites?
Anyway, I had a "points for donation" system in mind, not really a "pay to play" one.
