Every Human Being has some capacity for evil. It's just that some Humans have a greater capacity for evil than others.

    Not sure why you'd pay $5000 for the server to randomly print "zing" to all connected players, but have at it.

    but in all seriousness i wouldn't mind donating like 5 dollars a year or something not for any benefits but just so we can keep the server up and maybe it would be a good insentive for people to start working on it again. you can always make a Paypal account for the donations that steeveeo or one of the other people that pay for the server would have acces to and you would be able to trust them enough with
    the money :)

    TBH I think we need some new devs that still have an interest in the game, it seems most of the devs now have either lost interest or begun to favor Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, the devs have come up with some awesome stuff, but the server is in need of work and it isn't going to get done any time remotely soon if we don't have someone with a heavy interest in spacebuild.

    Kind of agree, actually.
  • roychookroychook Registered Posts: 23
    I agree also and as long as the money i donate goes straight to the server fund i dont see a problem with it and as long as at least we know we have other people donating as well. or maybe certain privileges about what you can spawn or how much you can spawn if you donate something. :)

    what does this have to do with developers?

    My comment was not meant as an attack against the devs, merely stating that the interest just doesn't seem to be here.
    As for having to do with this thread? People want to donate in order to help performance and motivate devs. Developer activity directly affects server performance in that they are the ones finding and fixing performance and stability issues within addons.

    uhuh, okay, slight misunderstanding there

    Whoa there! Lets not throw ALL our money at them just yet.
  • SteeveeoSteeveeo Registered, Administrator Posts: 849
    Anything is better than nothing, at the current rate, I will not be able to renew my server next year.

    Give us some numbers
    "...wait, this IS rocket science!!!"
  • SteeveeoSteeveeo Registered, Administrator Posts: 849
    My server is costing me $250 a year to keep up, currently that all needs to go to my tuition fees and food.
  • NormallyClosedSwitchNormallyClosedSwitch Registered Posts: 137
    Alright

    Let's say 20$ donation per year

    I'm in

    Hit the submit to see how much people would be willing to give 20 dollars per year
    "...wait, this IS rocket science!!!"
