i think that donations could be a big part of this shard growing. if not already i say folks throw in a few bucks or so a week or maybe a one time payment and just maybe we might see our ideas come true for this great shard!...i just donated $50 to what ever is needed. and i will donate more when things seem to improve, i hope that it will help out. i want to see this shard grow back to how big it used to be, and how much fun it was.

[imported_Taran]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it and I will put the money to good use one way or another. I gave you the status "donor" here in forums.

We're currently discussing some major changes that will help out newcomers and hopefully make it more worth while to start playing here.
More info will come soon!

how much we need to get the new server?

[imported_Paulie]

I offered to pay for a server for 6 months up front! but problem is what happens after 6 months taran said! I was hopeing that perhaps we would get a bigger playerbase and more peopel would donate every month and what ever is left over i would put in my self to pay for the server the following months! but dont think it will happen. so If there is anything to put money in for the current server to make betetr let me know im more then willing to donate

[imported_Theo]

as far as i understood in the pass months that i've been here... is that we can't support large number of players with the current server. so until we get the new server up and running we can't really do much.

so i would like to know whats the deal that's holding us back... if we need money, im sure we can work something out. server status don't look very good in the pass week neither.

how much per month we have to pay for the new server?
and how much are we paying for this current server?

[imported_Shade]

We currently pay nothing, thanks to xs4all. Though we aren't on the best server in the world, its damn good for free.

A new host would cost about 80-140 USD a month. Which is a bit of money for a single person to shell out and thats why there is worry about reliability and future finances if we were to take that route. Obviously if we don't raise enough one month the shard will go down. Without a sexy trust fund on INX's lap our moves must be cautious.

[imported_Jiraiya]

6 month's gives quite a bit of time though. What about adding a page on the site Called "Help support INX" full of googleads or whatever. People can click those daily and generate some revenue. If we get more players could maybe generate enough extra cash to pay for like half the hosting costs a month.

[imported_Shade]

Good idea in theory but lets remember that only like 6 of us vote... I can't say I would have much faith in that working, though it would be awesome if I was proven wrong... There's a first time for everything after all. It comes back to the same problem too, depending on others in a way that can be guaranteed.

[imported_Ryuuku]

Atm we are depending from others anyways. We are depending a new server from xs4all or for sure how already been said one day server go die with that playerbase.

[imported_Lynch]

i say if we go ahead and get the new server with the donations that are already coming in...then its guaranteed that more folks will join up...then more donations will come in and the playerbase will increase...send out emails to old players and friends...it will happen...no one donates now because they dont want their money be used for nothing. when changes happen the likeness of the shard will increase, therefore increase playerbase = more donations. its like the laws of nature, things change once a change has begun

i too have donated indirectly 100 bucks through facebook advertisements. once i receive my next paycheck i plan on running the ad once again.
