How long would say, one dollar keep the servers running for?
One dollar?
100 dollars are needed for the server each month, that's 3,3 dollars each day. Your dollar would keep the server running for little more than 7 hours.
If every person that has downloaded Eb, in it's various versions, would have donated one dollar for his download, we would have $441763 (yes, almost half a million dollars) accumulated in donations for the server. That's enough for keeping the server running for 368 years.
Instead, the amount of the donations today is $4438.98. We are very thankful for the generous souls that have donated without being compelled to do so by a sales contract like when you buy a game. But sadly, they are too few, and what we have manged to accumulate from their generosity is dangerously near the insufficiency line.

That's probably only about 70000-150000 individual users who have played and enjoyed the game, but still there would of course be more if each gave one dollar. Excepting that Paypal takes a fee for each transaction, of course. We're non-profit though, and are currently a tiny bit in the black, which isn't bad.

$20 from me. Thanks for your great job. I´m enjoying it a lot. Keep on modding.
Alejandro.
I have to thank each and every one of you for your donations.
We will try to make sure that the next version of EB will be better than this one.
As we don't have any other means of support, we must ask that you keep donating what you can, when you can, if you can.

Not quite sure, but it's from august. It does not get updated every day, but usually more often than weekly. Being more than 100$ in the red several times has made us look for cheaper hosting, and we're moving to it shortly.

Turned out I had two dollars sitting in my Paypal account, so I sent it your way. Will donate more once I find a job!
Thanks Bovi.
Then I will re-activate my PayPal-Account.
Is there any Banner or Sig that links to the "donate"-site to make a little advertisement so more peeps do actuall know that there is the urgent of donating some money to help maintaining the beatiful website?

No, there is no fancy flag to hoist. We hope that this small notice attracts the attention we need. Occasionally we bump it, and often that is all it takes to get the current deficit covered. It will still be a good thing for us to get a similar server for less cost though, then we will not need to ask for donations as often.

Hello im quite new to EB and would like to make a small donation of 10£ thanks for sharing a great mod.
"If I enter Laconia, I will level Sparta to the ground," the Spartans responded with the single, terse reply: "If."
Once again we must ask you for your "obolos" aka coin in ancient greek.

Thank you in advance for all you can spare.

For all those who venture here, here is a small gift from Google books. (I am very thankful for that service and so should you be)

Keep up the great work
I view this not so much as a donation as thanks... the amount of time I have wasted (ahem.. 'spent') on this mod is easily greater than 10 or so lesser games ever, even including the great BG & BG2 series (and THAT is saying something as I wasted literally years on them).
Actually making the Romans playable (and really enjoyable) was just one of the achievements. After Vanilla I thought I was cursed to be forever killing the Roman insects.
Respect
I try to donate everytime a new EB is released, finally got around to my 1.2 £10, did something change, last few donations had to be dollars.
Thank you very much for your support, dear fellows. Your contributions will help us keep the server running for a while longer.
Thank you!

I've enjoyed EB for years now, and am just now getting around to reinstalling it, so i figured it's time I donated. While it's nothing extravagant (12 USD), EB is a fantastic mod that's brought enjoyment back to a game I thought I was done with, and I thank the developers for their continued effort.
i'm a stuident... so I don't have piles of money... and I'm and artist, meaning Ive twice less as the average student... but as soon as I've some spare dollars, it'll go to you guys! Thanks for a great mod, and school of antiquity of history! (well, other way around...)

Is there a posibility to donate in cash via Western Union or FedEx?
I'm from a country which its entire banking system fell from the international market nine years ago, so for me, like most of the people here, it's cash only.

Ohh weird that no one answered your question, I don't know why.
But I guess the one responsable to pay for server can be sent that money however I can't remember who it is, so if you still wish to help us with that I'll try and find out.
