A donation meter would be really useful. Just a simple short text which says donations are enough for x.y months and a gauge bar showing off where is the donations level standing from target. Target could be 3 or even 6 months. It shouldn't even involve automated scripts.. a biweekly update is more then enough if the target time span is at least 3 months.

Like this:


Place it in the header area of the blog and the forum and thats it. The >> can direct the users to a link where the purpose of the donations are described. This system works very well in an other anime and manga translation related community in my country. There, the community knows what they should do without asking them as they are well aware of the needs.

I think that the Dev's will post it if it becomes urgent
But it is feasible, isn't it?

OK, server is paid, we've got few(3,75 ) euros left for upcoming months, thank you all for help!

I was playing WoW on magic wow private server, they have a donnation system that you can change 1 buck to donnations points, its pretty good to keep up the server. I could change donnations points to lvl chars or funny in game itens. In one year playing there they improved the server a lot, from 100+- players on went up to 3000+- players online without lag.

Just saying that this could help you guys a LOT. Im new here, started 2 weeks ago...

We can't be seen to offer any benefits for money, so that is not possible.

Oh well, that depends on the goal of this project for sure, my bad... I tought it was money like most of the projects, or at least a little  .

Its more the fact that it is other people's IP, so if we begin charging in any form we make the prospect of getting closed down more likely. Thus we will forever remain free and the donations are soley by the players to provide themselves with somewhere to play.

[Bandole]

I know its not my business, but dont you have the option to change to a new server and maybe a new name if that is the problem?

Lets say a server in china like this one: http://www.abchk.com/server-hosting.php This is an option for legal problems, like private servers 

Let me get back to work, I'm sorry for bothering you...

[Solar]

We could change from using the Fallout IP, but then ... thats kind of the point of us existing

[Bartosz]

Time's running fast, and the drill is as usual...

We need to gather 130e till the end of that month, I'm pretty sure we will, we always do.

We're also aware of everything that's said in regard of the donations, i'm not addressing any of these issues here, however, it's not like we're not reading/listening - this is just reminder message, no need to start futher discussions.

Remember, server shutdown can happen here unless we...keep'em firing!

It wont be easy since many players left this server:

[vedaras]

i doubt if any of those "wipe or i leave" guys has ever donated to fonline.

[Lizard]

What about a wipe after a certain sum is achieved?

I think this idea could works

[avenvx]

yea..what about wipe ? and  hellloo?? it would be better to inform people through Launcher or in-game about donating . I doubt people would read FO forums frequently except FUNbois
