I was answering to what SODOM said before, the equivalent of having LW money in exchange for real donations.

Why think of it as donating money to get a tiny bit money in-game that you could get after a few minutes of gambling?

Think of it as: if you don't donate you will have $0 in-game.  Because the server will be gone.  :(

 /givecash Popz $99999999

Nah but seriously, I should be able to donate sometime in the near future. No problems money-wise, should be able to donate a bit. Just gotta set up a paypal account some time soon, hope its easy enough. Also I like Firefly's idea.

Bull.

Way too few safety measures.

Go with a half-decent company then.  And sort out your own PC.

Post by: SUPERBAD on February 17, 2009, 12:41:04 PM
you can only pay via paypal.
You do not need a credit card. You can make an paypal account, go to your real life bank and transferf from your real life bank to your paypal account.
It is safe.
You dont need a credit card, I got no credit card eithert.

No one has to donate, but it would be really nice to keep the server alive.


Any questions, ask please, and Danny, be a little bit more polite please. Even if you think ppl write bad excuses not to donate.

thanks, now Danny, you see, this is a good reply. thanks superbad, I really do not understand that kind of stuff
I'll check out paypal and see if i can donate, but I would like to know a goal or something. Because I have no clue about amouns... :/
Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: dannymc18 on February 17, 2009, 12:50:14 PM
Anything over €55 should be fine
Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: Popz on February 17, 2009, 01:54:20 PM
the server costs are ~£70/month, but i only use donations for about 50% of that since the server runs other unrelated stuff too.
btw, using a credit card is the safest way to buy stuff online as the credit card company are liable for losses not you. so if you screw up a payment you demand your money back from them, not the company you buy from :)

Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: AJP on February 17, 2009, 05:46:28 PM
oh.. I wasn't making any excuses not to donate :\

I will donate soon, maybe not as much as shade, but I'l gladly donate around 45€ within the next two weeks :)
Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: dannymc18 on February 17, 2009, 05:55:57 PM
Well, erm, I was of course joking about the €55 thing, and sorry Superbad, Peter, etc - you guys have really got to learn to stop taking me seriously all the time! :p

I'm sure if someone was able to give just £1 it would be appreciated.

Anyway, I have no idea about the costs involved with the server, t'is Popz's area.  Ignore me, basically :p

Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: Popz on February 18, 2009, 02:12:52 PM
no, server costs are ongoing, so we always need money!

by the way, i've begun working on a new gamemode. it wont be ready for a while, but it will have advantages for people who donate :) i cant give you any details of what they may be, but they will be there!

i already  donated once but i guess ill see if i can do it again D:
Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: SUPERBAD on February 18, 2009, 03:29:21 PM
I think the safest way is to open a paypal account.
Then go to a your bank and transfer the cash, u want to donate, to you paypal.
Then donate via paypal.

Popz is right with the credit card, but if something goes wrong with buying via credit card you got to contact your credit institute.
Title: Re: It's that time again...
Post by: Faraday on February 18, 2009, 03:30:48 PM
Well I transfered money to PayPal account today. So I could be able to donate within 2 or 3 days.
20€ will be ok right? (that's all I got extra for now, student life is hard)

I think you should give price because if your donating (realmoney) and you don't get a price is dumb 
- like when some1 donates in the game they will give them money

Just donate out of love for this server. You don't always have to expect something in return. That's called selfishness.

PayPal converts whatever you're paying with into the currency of the receiving account, in this case GBP.

So Popz, let me know if you received it, if you want I can pm you my email where I donated with..?

paypal will convert any currency you like - although the rates they use are a little bit worse than merchant rates since they take a cut.

You can probably pay in using Zimbabwean Dollars if you want.

Just be sure to pay in more than Z$5E+10 if you want donator status.

It isn't, it just helps.  Servers dont just come free for whoever wants them though.  Luckily enough we have a handful of decent players who donate whatever they can from time to time, which helps keep the server alive.

I would like to add, we don't make anywhere near enough from other uses of the server to cover the cost of the server so the difference comes out of our pockets.
