Implementor Anume Posted March 26, 2015 Implementor Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Unfortunately, I see myself forced once more to ask you, the players of FL, to donate some money to facilitate the continuation of this mud.While I am for transparency and an open approach to what we do with the money YOU give us, I can't go into detail this time, suffice is to say that an irreplaceable member of the staff has run into major financial difficulties and will be forced to quit, if we do not lend a bit of support.I see myself unable to take on even more work load by taking over their - huge - part of keeping FL running, as I got a full time job and a family myself (and even if I had the time, I do not have their skill in this area).We will need $600, better yet $900, to keep going.We currently have $250 left of the donation money. I will add another $200 dollars out of my own purse.If you can donate a bit, be it 5 bucks or 10, I'm asking you to please do so.You can do so by clicking on the button at the top of the forum, next to vote.Our paypal address is: donations@theforsakenlands.comThank you for reading, I'll keep you updated. Also posting this as an announcement on all forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Criminal Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Can I ask why the costs so high? I run multiple websites and servers, maybe I can help get the costs down if I knew what they were.There also aren't any ads on the forum, have you guys considered using Adsense, adhits or bidvertiser to generate income?

Dale Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Give me a few weeks to handle some things, my daughter turned 5 this week and I'm having to throw a party for her this weekend. I'll try to send around 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Criminal Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Did you even read what Anume posted? On topic: I'll try to finally make that paypal thing work.... Yes I did, how else would I have known to reply to the thread with questions and solutions,its also the reason I asked why the costs were so high and if I could help get them down. I also posted a way to earn continuous income while you could only come up with 'I'll try to finally make that paypal thing work....' My opinion is that they dont need to rely on random donations that cant be counted on to pay monthly bills, they needa reliable income stream from the forum that can easily supply $50, $100, $200 dollars a month.

Evangelion Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 UC - I just want to make sure you understand that the point of this funding is to help the staff member in question NOT to cover the ongoing costs of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cephirus Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Could you give us some sort of deadline when the total amount would be needed by? I am going on vacation and could certainly donate some, but if I can wait a few weeks and send it later, I would prefer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Anume Posted March 30, 2015 Author Implementor Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thank you to all who donated already. We still need about $300, so anyone who can, please donate. Cephirus: There is not really a deadline, bc we also will have to pay server fees (our 15 / month) in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Anume Posted April 6, 2015 Author Implementor Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Update: A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated, it's really appreciated. Current status: we got together a total of $700 dollars of the 900 we aimed for, 200 from our account, the rest from donations from various players as well as staff members. Thank you, everyone. We now have a total of $35 on our account we pay the server bill from, which will be enough for 2 more months but not cover a third.So if you have a bit of money left in the near future, it will still be very welcome.
