Running a server is not free, and we'd like to know if you guys are willing to donate to keep it up. In case you are willing, please also specify how much you're willing to donate, and how you will donate it (all at once, or a 'X amount per month upkeep method'). We urgently need to know this because it will direly affect the future game play you will be experiencing. If we do not get the amount of donations necessary to keep the rented server up, we might eventually be forced to go back to a crappy old computer running the server for a small amount of people.

Thank you for taking your time to read this. Please consider this a consideration of the future of Novus Mundus rather than a propaganda, or a threat.

Your humble developers.

Lucas:

It doesn't have to be that much really if enough people donate. Initially, it is looking like about $30 a month for a crappy server, and $80 a month for an ideal server with all the proper specs. So if 30 people donate a single dollar, thats a crappy server for a month right there. If 80 donate 1 dollar, then is a excellent server for a month.

Might I also add that I have already allotted $500 of my own money to this project. The donations you would be giving us would help the $500 go a long way.

True, but we do want to buy a decent domain for about $5 a month. But Im already covering that.

This. I bought Ekunia's hosting for $3.65/month at first, but they canceled that plan so I'll need to upgrade to $5/month soon.

Though you should consider combining your game and website servers. As in, you should run them both on one server. However, if one goes down, then logically, being on the same server, they both will, so it's a double edged sword.

Also, NameCheap offers a "Value" plan of $2.95/month. Thing is, though, you need to buy 36 months for such a deal...however, for paying 12 months instead, you could get $3.95/month, anyway, so it's still a decrease.

The domain is ~$10/year, though.

Where at? Cause the server sites I am finding with the right specs for our game are at least 30 dollars a month.[/quote]
