I know most of you have stopped playing, I probably would have too since the wait for the new server has been so long.
I've been doing some math, and if we could raise $1000 in donations I could host the server at my place and dedicate over 50 mbit to it. The $1000 would cover the costs for a new computer and the connection fee for the next 6 months.
After this we would send out e-mails to everyone that played on INX and any other previous IN/XUO shard. We will exit Beta and get a big player boost.
There would also be an added bonus for every new character created the first two weeks. They would be able to choose 2 free PvP skills to GM and get some extra gold to get started.
But as I said, we need donations to be able to do this. I'm hoping that we still have some players that would be willing to donate. The actual cost is about $1200 but we already have $120 in donations, the rest I will pay for myself.
I'm sure noone wants to see our shard that we put so much work on to go to waste. We have huge potential, we just need to get more players here. Getting a new server, exiting Beta and sending out mass e-mails is the key for that.
So please, if you can and would be willing to donate, please reply here how much you could donate. If enough people reply, I'll add a donation meter to the website and you can begin donating.
Send the link to this post to all your friends that used to play here as well. Hopefully they want this place to come back bigger and better than ever before!

We are also discussing the posibility to be able to get decoration items for your house and maybe even special clothes when you donate.
Just to let you know that we really appreciate your help

If you want to stay anonymous that's fine as well, just send me a PM then.
I just got a PM from someone that could donate $100. We only need 9 more players that can donate $100 and we're all set. But even if you can just donate $10 that helps a lot too.

Why Dont put in the webite one zone of Donations with some Packs of Donors? with this, the people can know that items they will have when they to donate money...

Yeah we're going to put them on the website, we're working on it right now. It takes a long time to put many images on the website though since we first have to take screenshots of them ingame and then remove the background to make it look good on the website.
So far we have finished over 50 images and more to be done.

So far we have recieved $93 in donations. That's very good for just one day!
Keep this up and we will have the money for our new server in just 9 more days
I think it's time to add a donation meter to the website, I'll let you know when it's finished!
*EDIT*
I got lucky and found a module for a meter. I just added the meter on the website, go check it out.

I know it's hard to donate a larger amount of cash since you won't know if we will reach our goal.
So I was thinking, if you donate $50 or more I promise to send the money back if we don't reach our goal within 2 months. Paypal has a refund option that will send the money back without cost as well as the transfer fee (as long as you do it within 60 days from the transfer).
If you donate less than $50 the money will be used for the website and domain and/or advertising instead to try to get more players another way.

I just wanted to let you know that Taran takes care of all donation related transactions and he will be the one that needs to handle this. I am leaving him a message and I will make sure he contacts you as soon as possible, if he hasn't already. Also, thanks for making the effort and offering to help out. I assure you we all appreciate everything that everyone has contributed.
