Donation request

[bovi]

Fellow EBers!

EB is free to download and use, and will stay that way. However, keeping our servers and bandwidth up is not free, and we are downgrading them now in order to reduce this cost. We ask you to consider supporting EB with a small donation for this purpose (Paypal charges $0.30 per transaction in some cases, plus a percentage, so please make the donation bigger than this ). You can do so through our website at https://www.europabarbarorum.org, the button is in the lower right corner.

Note that we are not trying to make a profit, nor will we accept money for any other purpose than these running costs. All donations will strictly be used for this server/bandwidth maintenance, and the donation button will be disabled when the costs are covered. See the Disclaimer for more information on this policy.

Bah! No money left. I used the last on the pub and on a pair of jeans. I destroyed my last good pair at the pub while dancing. Erhm..

I dont have a mastercard or a visa anyway. How does Paypal works? Do I need a visa or a mastercard for it to work?

[Aristophanes]

Have you considered a contest or some sort of game where, depending on the level of donations, new content is displayed, information provided, etc...

What about giving recognition to people who have made contributions and significant contributions?

Maybe a thread with a list of names, etc...? Just a thought.

[bovi]

Paypal is a debit payment service. In contrast to credit payment where you first buy stuff and pay later, here you add money to your account and then pay. You can add money to your account by mastercard/visa, certainly, but also by single payments from your bank, so you do not have to give paypal your credit card information and do not require having it either. I believe Paypal restricts accounts without credit card information registered to 1000$ worth though, but that's irrelevant for this.

Note that Paypal works in dollars or euro, I think conversion rates apply to those with other currencies.

I second this thing, with the name list.

Wow, I just checked the progress chart and think I'd better hurry if I'm going to donate. You posted the request not quite 7 hours ago and are already more than 80% to your goal. Do you guys feel the love yet?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Hehe. That amount is over the last two years. Most of that (roughly 90% is from a handful of EB members). We need some help with the most current quarter's server costs, which are a part of that total, but we definitely don't have those sort of costs every quarter. Sorry if that was confusing to anyone.

This is a good idea and im sure you will always reach your goal

[CutLunch]

I'm extremely pleased with EB - it's the best mod by a mile.
Happy to help with the costs. :)

[abou]

Thanks, man. We appreciate it greatly.

I tried to get at the link but I got this reply: This Account Has Been Suspended

and now?

[Gazius]

Whatever EB does, please, please, do not keep your money in a paypal account. It is not a registered bank, they can freeze your account at will, and you will never see that money again. I've known way too many people personally, and read about many more, who've had this happen to them.

Just a bad link - it should work fine now. Thanks.

[Wladyslaw IV]

I'll donate 30. Because I saw your orginal website id has been suspended. Now you are at europabarorum.org which might and probably is cheaper, I guess.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Is it permanent or only a temporary change?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

We did switch to a cheaper host, so it will save some money for us, but the europabarbarorum.com url is just temporarily not working. Everything should be back up again in a few days but for now all the files are up on the .org version of the same.

[Senatus Populusque Romanus]

I want to donate money, but i am a high school student and have no way to use paypal or other method to donate :(

[bovi]

That is okay. Everyone plays, those who have the means donate.

[bovi]

Just a minor bump, as we currently are more than 100 dollars short of the accumulated costs. It is no crisis, but please consider making a small donation at www.europabarbarorum.org.

Again many thanks to those who have contributed.

[Sassem]

I will donate this weekend BTW in €

so it is for us europeans much cheaper to reach the 100$ shortage

[johnhughthom]

$10 dollars today on top of the $10 I donated last year is the least I can do to thank you for all the hours of pleasure EB has given me.

[LJC]

Done. The small amount I've just donated is nothing compared to the quality of your work..anyway that's what I can do now, and I intend to donate again as soon as possible.
You are my heroes..keep up with your work&passion

[bovi]

Thanks to all who have donated, the will to keep our server up is most appreciated.

Regardless, there has been a lack of donations in the last months (perhaps due to my previous post here), and we are now in the red by more than 150$. Please consider making a small contribution. Thank you again .

[socal_infidel]

Donated. Let's hope my math was right...

[Marcus Livius Drusus]

5$ usd from me. God knows I've dl'd the bloody thing that many times, I think I'm still coming away on top. Thanks for making such a great game all. A thread like this is the push I needed to register with the forum.

[Ancyrean]

Considering that EB is the game that enriched me the most and that I play it more than any other game for around 1.5 years, the donation of 50 $ that I just made seems like the least I can do...

Thanks to everyone that contributed to making EB the legend that it has become...

[Aemilius Paulus]

Why doesn't the EB team consider selling merchandise such as shirts, hoodies, mouse pads, etc with EB themes on the merchandise? I am sure you will have tons of customers and I will be one of them! There are definitely more than 100,000 people playing EB and about 5,000 of them hardcore fans who would pay a considerable price for stuff with EB on it. This way you'll never have to worry about donations and plus you will have extra money to further improve EB or just some for yourself!

[heldelance]

Hell, once I get myself a job, I'll donate. This mod REALLY made RTW worth its money.
