Donation for the server?

Hello. My name is Freddy705 ingame and freddy outside

I want to donate to the server as soon as possible but i realy wonder about one thing:

"How much is it currently donated?"

maybe create a tab at homepage for people to view how much amount of cash the server currently have? maybe that a good idea because loyal players will donate to keep the server up if they know how much it still needs to be up

So far I've just been collecting donations for each month and stockpiling if I get 'too much' for one month, for example.

Last month I spent £200 on an upgrade, thanks to a £100 donation yesterday it's just about covered though. Server costs are currently £60 / month.

Some on the side for me would be nice of course - but this is a hobby, not a job, hence nothing is going into my pocket.

what i mean is that it should be visual to others how much cash the server currently has. seen it at other homepages and it is very usefull. For example

Servers currently donation amount is at: xxxx euros

what i say is that we need to be informed if the server have problems with monay to be kept online.


a nice server like this deserve to be online, because its great!



thinking about donating 25 dollars some time in this week but when i do i pm

I've considered some sort of bar like that in the past... but I get the feeling it would require a manual update every time someone donates, I'm too lazy for that sort of thing ;p.

Anyway, I'll see if I can find one that links well with Paypal tonight.

i realy think it exsists i have seen it faar to many times, gonna search for it later

From one person? Wow is a name for such a donation available?

I would think they rather keep it anonymous.

No worries, such person is known to me. If he/she reads this, very generous.

I think this would be a great idea since if Orc only has like £25 and its the end of the month...We could dontate some more but then again He trys to stockpile for upgrades and shit...

Was it Film again? >.<
(rich bastards. )

100? It's almost twice that in USD. O.O

... makes me want to donate a little more... i feel bad only donating once... but then again, im a poor bass turd and have like 20 USD to my name :\

im too lazy to actually get a credit card, so next time i get a prepaid card ill be sure to donate again.

You guys are definitely worse-off over there with your fake money.

yup USD = monopoly money

I kid, but i do prefer knowing i have the highest value currency in my bank account, feels more secure...

Bank account? trol lol

Also, I think Orcworm forgot to mention the £200 a week us Admins get paid.

Because Englands economy is in fit shape alongside the GBP lol

secure may be an over-statement...

xD

I always keep cash, apart from paying in day before finance payments or to add to my PayPal account.

Too bad "we" also get royally fucked over on "import tax" on consumer electronics. If it's $250 you can bet your ass if will be €250/250 pound ($360/$408) at the local electronics shop.

So yeah... better economy except everything is (comparatively) also damn expensive.

Ugh, thanks for putting a dampener on that B.

There's always the US eBay I suppose...

amazon>ebay

Amazon definately > Ebay

Amazon for some reason REQUIRES you to use a credit card, which automatically makes it shit for most people on this side of the pond as those are NEARLY not as common as over in eagleland. Hell, I don't know ANYONE who has a CC. People here just use direct bank transfers or PayPal.

britain is not just eagleland filler

-_- Eagleland == America. As if that wasn't obvious.

eagleland whilst discussing GBP is easily mistaken for england...

We were talking about US eBay versus (US) Amazon. Also since when is England associated with eagles?

i'd say golden eagle, but that inhabits the cairn groms south of here (Inverness) so i guess no assosciation, appologies, ~DERP~ moment

Bluh bluh.

Back on topic and without fancy slang: Amazon sucks balls for Europeans since it only accepts credit cards which are not nearly as common here as they are in America. To this day I still do not understand why they do not accept bank transfers. Paypal I can understand, seeing as it's owned by their competitor eBay, but fricking bank transfers?

admittedly that is a problem, so i use Amazon Uk, same problems for people in other parts of europe but at least no cash is lost when the CC badly convert, or does not convert the currency atall...

you went back on topic to something that is off topic to what the thread is about...
mind fucked

Haha I was going to say the same thing Str :p

Credit Cards are tools of the devil. Well, worse. They keep you in debt FOREVER. Raechel and I don't own a single credit card, and have agreed we never will, either. If we can't afford to pay cash for it, we're not buying it. All we have is our ATM Check Card, functions conveniently like a credit card (swipe it, your done) but it transfers money from our checking account instead of deepening the credit loan from a CC company. Keep track of our funds with out Check Register, or can check our available balance at a moment's notice by text message.

Donate everything to the curch or the server.

True that. Debit Card and never get in debt (unless you're buying something on finance of course)

That's not true. Payment is possible *at least* in Germany and Austria and definately also more europe countries via automatic bank collection. That's very comfortable. Also the shipping and support is very good making Amazon the #1 mail order company.

Bolded the interesting part.

Maybe that's the case in your country or Amazon.us, but at least for Austria and Germany (amazon.de) automatic bank collection is possible.

Good thing we aren't talking about the German Amazon but the American/English (which also doesn't accept anything but credit/uk-based debit cards), huh.

This is where father's credit card comes in handy, very handy.

true that.. hehehe
