Title: Donation information
Post by: Bartosz on February 03, 2010, 01:09:43 pm
Hello,

We decided it's a time to clarify a bit more on the costs of server upkeeping. When we moved, we chose to acquire fairly cheap server, because we knew that server application requirements are not high. We've run into few problems at the beginning, but now we think it serves us pretty well (just to remind, server application unstability is not caused by the hardware).

So, the monthly fee we need to pay for the machine, is 60 euro (including PayPal fees). We've paid for 3 months, and we are running it 2 months already. So far we've gathered 93 euro, so we need a bit more.

That's why we are kindly reminding you to donate few caps from time to time.

You can find the donation button on the right side at our developers blog (http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/).

There is no way in hell the devs will give out special items for donations; this would probably be illegal as it emulates paying for an item in-game.

i agree it`s retarded idea, every game which offer special items when donating is retarded and for sure lot of players will stop playing, because it will start great disadvantage between paying and not paying players

Not to mention "GM abuse" phrase has got entirely different meaning when money are involved. So - no. And this is official statement.

yeah items wouldnt do much, cause if you get a gauss rifle for example you can easily lose it, run out of bullets and as it said it would be a disadvantage against other players. If i were a dev, i would make a skin auction for donation. Lets say 2 euros and a skin till next wipe :>

And by the way, you could say that skins are buggy and bla bla, but many people have those buggy skins anyway so i dont see the difference :>

or we could sell costumes, like different coloured robes.
Isn't the armour just overwriting the regular spritesheet with a new one, the purple robes.
So maybe use the sprite overwrite to allow the usage of differently coloured robes, they are there just for decoration in any case.
Title: Re: Donation information
Post by: Cryofluid on February 06, 2010, 10:46:48 pm
It's a good thing you communicate on your funds.
In that way we know when it is urgent to give or not.
Title: Re: Donation information
Post by: Berko on February 08, 2010, 05:17:57 am
I agree with Cryofluid.
I will try to explain(not i think you are stupid but i speak not really good english) and give you a real example.

In november you have make a news like "We need your help" and many people have donated. And I remember I say "In 3 month they will do the same".
And it's happen .. And I think it will happend each 2-4 months

Why?
Because people don't donate between november and today.

Oh shit players are stingy?
No they are not (not all)

But why they don't donate?
Because they don't have information. ("Oh we can donate really?" "Oh they need funds?" "Yeah I want donate but I don't know where I can!" etc)

But they have a button, they just have to click on it!
Yes but no, we want more information, we want to know the situation ($$ €€) in real time and have a link in fonline2238.net not only on the dev blog.

In real time? you are crazy!
You can do a script fo this job which say :
Quote from: Donate
{The big button}
This month : 12,00€
We need : 60,00€
(link to info about price) (http://fonline2238.net)
And become green when > 60€ and still you can donate, supplement of funds will be add for the next month.

====

So I say that because I see another project for a 2D game which have a dedied server too. And they have a donate system with paypal too. And they had the same problem .. admin have to cry each month "I don't want to pay alone the server for you!".
And after speak with the comunity he make that system and after that no more serious problem.
The only difference is that the project i speak isn't in developpement and is with a nice but little comunity(60 max) and need each month 80€
I hope with 300 players we can pay the server !

I can ask the admin of "the other project" how he make his script and if he want share it.
And to don't adversing the other project you can ask me more information in PM to see an example in the other project site.

Well I havn't been on here in months... Last time I was on there wasn't an installer or even this site... I am excited to see what has changed in the wasteland. But anyway, I don't care about the item so much. But as far as that goes, there is nothing retarded about it. It doesn't have to give you an advantage, it could be anything. Even a decoration. What's the advantage there? "My tent is prettier than yours!" Lame.

You could also remark the donation fact in the in-game player's nickname colour; for example you can change the colour of the player's who donated game on gold. However, I think that the ability to choose any nickname colour would be bad thing, as it would bring chaos and mess. There also could be few stages, let say normal, silver and gold, depending on money sent, let say silver 1 euro, golden 10 euro. It would motivate people to donate and to donate much money. I think it should be a shame for a let say big faction lider to have just silver nickname.

But WTF, as Handyman and Reco said, why the hell do you want something in-game for donating ? Playing isn't enough for you ? If nobody pays, first you won't have something more than other players, but second you won't can play anymore...

I think for donation getting some things what dont make you stronger then normal player without donation will be fine :)

Like a Skin, a small House (the same as a tent looks nicer and a little bigger), some Clothes without any resitance (only for look)...

Will you ever stop this? It's been said already multiple times, donations are for you, for your server, for server where you can play. Why are you trying so hard to complicate it more. Imagine 'donation abuse' threads. We don't want this.
Title: Re: Donation information

hmm have you guys thought about advertising for a company or something? you've got a decent product on your hands that you can make moulah off of... just not off of the fallout trademark but advertising for a company or something with a short 1 sec ad at the start or end of the game or on the update page could probably help pay for some of the server costs? it might not affect copyright crap or trademark bs... but ehhh its just an idea tho and if it works then your a business! just like facebooK! lol... i personally would not care if I had to watch a short ad while the game updates or loads simply for the sake of helping keep fonline alive lol or while you wait to respawn "sorry you died! But hey! Now you've got time for a coke, or some Hagendas Icecream! Enjoy it!

think about it if you got 1 cent everytime a player logs on you'd be set within the month!

You can solve the problem of payment of servers and their resources in such a way!
1. Create a new location (city) in which all things will prodovatsya for X credits!
2. X credits the players can get by means of WebMoney or other payment system at its own expense in the game!
The system of payment used by many games!
This is slightly aggravate the game but will save all the Projects!
Unless of course you're right holders rights to Projects!
Examples of payment you can look here for example http://billing.tionline.ru/

Any game that uses item shops should be banished from the surface of the Earth. Only thing worth consideration is P2P or monthly fee and since FOnline can't use neither, then its dependent on developer/admin cash and some small aid from donations.

actually donation items arent that bad an idea... as long as they arent items that unbalance the game, like in this situation most games would offer the high up gear, but instead, fonline could offer unique items, or skins, that have no effect on gameplay at all, or even things like different colours for armour, (like a 5 euro donation + combat armour = ncr armour) kind of thing, and its not illegal if its donations, alot of wow private servers do it, its a gift for donating, not selling an item, just something fun to recognise donaters for the generous people they are :P and if its classified as a gift, its not illegal, as its not breaking any sort of copyright.

OK folks, time's running very quickly, 2 months have passed blazingly fast, and that of course means...

...yes, we need to hype up the donations issue a little bit more!

The drill is same as always, payments are same as before, but during last 2 months we haven't gathered much: 19,36e, so we're counting on you during upcoming month!

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.

A donation meter would be really useful. Just a simple short text which says...

But it is feasible, isn't it?

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...

Title: Re: Donation information

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.
Title: Re: Donation information
Post by: Bandole on March 11, 2011, 02:36:17 pm
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  :P

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!

Hello to all people following this fine thread:)

We're running out of time, and we need 115e to freeze the time for 3 months. That's not much for time-freeze service I guess? Would be bad to have server down as soon as most of the CBT bugs get fixed, wouldn't it?

Nope, you won't get anything except "thanks" and slightly amused developers. If you have a obsession to get anything in the game and donate a shitload of money to get it, you will get trolled: you will get it in game and out of your reach.

You can also do it through donate.fonline2238.net (http://donate.fonline2238.net/) although doing it through blog should be the same thing.
I'm sorry but we don't give anything except a lot of thank you, for legal reasons. Donations make it possible
to keep the public server (game server and the forum + wiki) running, and that's all.

Special encounters? Okay, but don't expect much recognition of work what isn't considered as a priority for the player. By priority I mean work that improve game play the most for the common player out there, if you are just having fun by working on only what you like, don't feel offended that the effort you dish out isn't going to be widely accepted or even acknowledged.

Players don't expect more from you, they expect something specific instead of what you are doing, some more pressing matters to be solved not new features, but, for example, fixing and getting existing content, mechanics and features to work and be in game available for the player at all.

I always thought, what's the point to introduce new features, new content, new stuff at all if the previous material isn't working, is broken or unfinished.

If that wouldn't be the case, we would never have players tying donations to the quality of development, because there wouldn't be any issues to start with.

Special encounters ... uh ... yay? That's just the thing we needed?

Speaking of legal reasons, I'm sure it is legal for you to give players some sort of in-game thing as a thank you.
If specific products or services are given in exchange for money, then it's a business activity which should be registered, along with bookkeeping, paying taxes, declarations etc. At least in a certain silly country in the middle of Europe. That's why it can be only donations. The definition of donation is when you give money someone and don't expect anything in return. So even keeping the server online is not a guaranteed service - but the money you donate will certainly help.

I guess I can see both sides of this. Some players (such as lost soul) appreciate the effort that Jovi is putting into things. But other players see these things as inadequate work that a dev should be doing. I appreciate the hard work, but also agree with T-888. The focus should be on more important things

Well, I guess you misunderstood me (and im not suprised). The latter part was merely a question for which i asked for an asnwer, it is not a wish, or a circumstance of donation to say. I kind of find that some people on this forum are well... strange. I think this fallout online 2238 mmo is really a piece of jewel. I think that it worths the support. Yeah, its not perfect, as there is no such thing as perfect. After reading the original manual through a few times, I think the original intent was better then what this game became. For example: limitless alts kill roleplay and specialisation, cooperation. But non the less, this mod is simply awesome, reminds me when i was a teenager and gives a much more mature and harsh environment to play then any other game in the past 5-8 years.

About trolling: I couldnt care less. :)

FIY, neither this, flattery or forum contributions will make you THEIR bestest friend and THEY for sure don't owe you anything neither now nor in the future.
Consider your effort to be wasted. Enjoy your stay.

Or you could think about it the way it really is. YOUR money goes for THE server and gives THEM more time to make it better for US. Yeah, so quit being an idiot.

At least, you donated. Thank you.
I will donate, very *soon*.
(I could donate, but because of the payment method, and my country, and my laziness, I have not yet)

My effort was to support the developers of this mod, to continue their work and help them maintain the server so I can enjoy this game which I really like. The only thing they are sure to owe me was all I got, a "thank you" - and that is enough. I really dont get it, what is your problem? :) I support, they develop and maintain, I play - simple to me. :)

I did it when i stopped considered donations. ;)
As for the poor man Zsoldy who just set his money in the sand, i only regret not being here when he starts whining about the "oh-so-great-game."
I give him a year.

Is there anything else than "omfg devs no liek me ((( " you want to say with this particular forum alt/persona of yours, Horatio? Because it gets tiresome reading the same passive agressive crap over and over again.

If that guy really did donate 90 bucks, add to my 30 bucks, then the server is probably set for another 2 months  ;D

Nope, you won't get anything except "thanks" and slightly amused developers. If you have a obsession to get anything in the game and donate a shitload of money to get it, you will get trolled: you will get it in game and out of your reach.

I suggest to leave this community if you just arrived. Don't complain when it's too late - i warned you.
Inb4 some dev answering to this: i'm not reading.

You suggest to a newbie to leave this community, it's a joke or are you really stupid? Go say to new factions to stop the game then. Unbelievable. Help new players, don't kick them.

Id just like to say thanks to all the donaters, because without them, none of us would be enjoying this game.

Hypothetically if I donated over $200 I would demand special treatment.

But we can't and won't do that, as said many times already.


There once was someone who wanted to donate a truckton of money for a one-day cheat character with whom he could pwn everyone coming across of him. Pretty funny idea... not.

Many, many thanks.

I will try and prepare some summary about the overall balance, but this requires 5 minutes which I seem not to possess...

Hey um, next time someone offers a truckton of money, can you please accept it? That would be great, thanks. I mean, hey, i bet every single player here would be fine with this project getting a HUGE donation, even if it disrupted the game for 1 day.

Nope, won't ever happen if that involves selling cheats or anything similar.

Then it sounds like you have some superior principles. In that case i salute you.

That said, would you make certain fixes i listed if i made a good enough donation? I mean like fixing flint to look like flint when i drop it? Easy stuff?

I think we would even do it without donations, if a good enough graphic is provided.

I think he means the graphical bug.

Yes, i mean when we drop a piece of flint in-game, it should look the same as when we picked it up - like a rock. But for years now, it looks like a delivery package box. So it's a rock when you find it, but drop it and it's not a rock anymore. Same with gecko pelts. These are little fixes but things that make checking your inventory much faster.

Update: i just received a PM from a player who offered me 7 euros to help get the gecko pelt graphics fixed to look like pelts when dropped.

just original graphics from f1 should be good enough, maybe just try it, if players will be disgusted, then i ll not get hurt if you put those pelts/flints back to box :)

rather than drop those items on the ground, what ive been doing is making simple wooden crates to help organize my items.
my gecko pelt crate has a fire gecko pelt on the ground beside it, indicating it is the crate where i keep gecko pelts.
actually ive made several crates for differant items and then left one item outside of the crate to help show whats inside it. ^^
i dunno if that helps

This thread is the old one, and information in the first post is not accurate anymore, so I'm locking it.

Instead, I sticked the newer thread:
