    Thank you MarcAurel. Very much appreciated!

    Hell, once I get myself a job, I'll donate. This mod REALLY made RTW worth its money.
    That's great, that's the spirit!

    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.

    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.

    Gah, donating here would be the most noble use of my money from soccer arbitrating... too bad I'm still a minor, though. I trust you guys will still be around in two years? I'll be glad to give my share then.

    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.

    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.

    Donation made: 50 Pound Sterling (wish they made conversion from AUD easier to calculate!)

    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'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.

    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.

    And the current donation chart:

    Current Hosting Costs (August 2009 to June 2010): £555
