Greetings fans of Europa Barbarorum!
The EBII team are volunteers, and as such we don't get paid and don't expect to either. EBII is and will always remain free to download and use. However, creating the mod does have costs - namely server hosting charges which do not come for free. Our current level of funding will keep the servers and domains, which host our internal forum and the development build of the game, going until the late summer. You may or may not be aware of the Donate button on the EB website (scroll down for the link to our Paypal account), which is the means by which those costs are serviced. All donations there are used solely to cover running costs, we're not trying to make a profit, nor do we use the account for any purpose.
Bear in mind that you get the mod and all the support the team provides for free. So those who are able, please consider donating a little, like you might do if you were buying a copy EBII like any other game. If lots of you give a small amount, we'll be clear and funded for the foreseeable future. Paypal charges $0.30 for each transaction, so ideally it needs to be more than that. The Donate button will be disabled once we reach our funding goal. Please see our Disclaimer for more information on this policy.
To anyone who does donate, we thank you in advance. As ever, thank you for your support and remember to read more history.
- The Europa Barbarorum II Team
