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.

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...

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!

The minute we make some money "for ourselves" as you say, is the minute CA can shut us down, or make further games of its franchise unmodifiable.

This is a perfect situation as it is. CA makes the games moddable, we can help improve them. Why jinx it? I don't think any of us are in it for the money.

So is there no way of doing it from the perspective of covering costs, and a surplus goes to charity?
Hell, give any profits to CA and they might make stuff even more modable.
I'm another who would like to buy the EB goodies for me and my kid.

We've discussed it internally and we've decided against it. You may see them as prizes in other competitions, but there are no plans in the short- medium- or long-term future.

We are again somewhat short, this time about 250$. Even though the USD has risen lately, we hope that you can make a small donation to keep our server up. Thank you.

[Tartaros]

ok,
25$ are on the way...
best wishes

[softiron]

6$ from me. It's small but always something...
Best wishes and my respect for awesom work done on the mod...

[Sumskilz]

Just sent $15. Thanks for a great mod. Looking forward to EB II.

[XSamatan]

And to cut a long story short, we are -200$ (short).

I don't blame the present financial crisis for that, but everything you can give, we can surely use. If you happen to read the donations' disclaimer, EVERY SINGLE DIME you donate is used to keep the server running.

Thank you for your support, we will always need it.

I put in a little tonight, hopefully my financial situation picks up soon and I can throw in quite a bit more for you guys! Thanks again for this awesome mod, I've gotten so much more "play value" from EB than I have from most $50 priced PC games! Assuming I can cover my rent and food this month, I'll send you guys some more a few weeks from now, please keep up the good work on EB2 and make Medieval 2 finally worth playing

Edit: Seriously, EB reminds of the best games from the "Golden Age" of PC gaming... the ones that you could tell were treated as a work of art, and that the game developers were as passionate about making the game as some of us are about playing them. Those are few and far between now, and I'm glad for you guys (the EB dev team) being here, and to be able to support all of you. Just dropping in this melodramatic edit, as you guys should be commended!

[XSamatan]

Thanks for response, I'll send some € from good old Germany to you.

Good work!

I cannot make the donation through paypal. Is there any other way

[bovi]

I believe you can make payments from your regular bank account, by a credit or debit card. Paypal balance is of course easier if you have a paypal account.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Thank you for a brilliant mod, and as a token here is £6.26($10) which is actually more than I paid for RTW in the first place! Ergo, you are better than CA!

[SwissBarbar]

60 Swiss Franks from me, for this great game

[keravnos]

Thank you guys, one and all.

This isn't over as you can see. Anyone who can spare their hard earned money, please donate.

[Barrabas]

Here's 10 USD. Looking forward to EBII.

[oudysseos]

25 USD. Wish I could do more.

YOU'RE POCKETING OUR PENNIES!? you yellow bellied ...

[Palasta]

I know someone asked already this but... is there no other way to donate than with paypal? Just for this one purpose to create a pp-account is... well... if it wasn't for my deep distrust i'd do it. If there is PM me.

[bovi]

You add to the Paypal account of Vercingetorix, who pays our server costs in advance. However, you don't need to actually use an own Paypal account for this.

Why use PayPal?

• It's easy to send money and shop online
• You can donate without sharing your financial information
• Over 50,000 online merchants accept PayPal

Don't have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available).

Size added for emphasis.

[Hinco]

Donate 10 $. Great job guys!

[Subotan]

Consider this my Christmas present to the EB team. I'd have given more, but the exchange rate from £ to $ is awful.
Merry Christmas EB.
What? What do I want for Christmas? Oh, nothing much, just some book, DVDs the Beta for EB2, annnnnnd some CDs.

[keravnos]

Thank you so much, to those who donated. As an all volunteer group, public donations is all we have to keep the server and our internal forums going.

[MarcAurel]

30 $ from me. Thanks a lot for your wonderful mod!

[heldelance]

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