We need to do something about our current hardware. It's a crappy computer and the connection isn't very good over seas. The only reason we are still here is because the server is free. A new server will cost around $150 a month.
So I need your help. Below I will list a couple of IP's to different servers. Please ping them and post what your response time is along with your location.
I'd also like to know if you are willing to donate cash to get a better server and if so, how much money would you be willing to spend a month?
I don't really like the idea of getting dependant of donations, since if people stop donating we can't afford to keep the server and then we're screwed. But if 30 people donate only $5 a month then we're good.
Ok so the IP's to ping are:
90.231.130.131 (this is my personal IP so during the night when I sleep you won't be able to ping it since I turn off my computer)
72.9.144.4
194.109.69.205
74.200.242.90
70.87.6.117
85.17.128.2

I for sure will donate if server will be located in europe. I remember we even had a vote poll and majority of players were european
Edit : Plus if one day people will stop donating, server will die? Will xs4all host the server once again then? There is no way to just pay xs4all to make them change the hardware, or something?

I can donate 50$ for first time and then 15$ per month. But as I stated its if server will be in europe. Cause I live in Russia and I have 100ping even to some of european servers, on USA server its just terrible. For example I got 100ping to xs4all atm.
