Lets talk numbers.

I figured what we could do is give Rogean an estimate of what we as the population can afford in donations to help support the fight against DDOS Attackers and have a legit server, or whatever we need in order to cure the issues.

Please feel free to leave a monitary amount that you can afford. If you would like to leave it annonymous, please private message me, and at the end I will tally it all up.

I can donate $10.

Thank you Devs for rezzing Classic EQ

$10. cash is tight atm.

$50 hands down. The only problem I see with this kind of thing is, there is a difference between people saying they will put down cash, and actually putting down cash. This may not be a good comparison as I am pretty drunk, but it's the kind of thing where there is an accident and nobody calls 911 because they will assume someone else is already calling 911; we all say we are putting down cash, but when we see how many other people are going to pay, we back out. idk if they made sense but oh well.

We all want P99 to suceed, and thrive well. In order for this to happen, we need to lean back real quick and think. How much can I truely afford? If its $0, it doesn't matter. Your support by being on the forums/irc is worth a fortune. For those that can afford a donation, think wisely and put down something you know you can AFFORD.

Before this starts to mean something, Rog needs to figure out how to prevent the DDOS from crippling the server. Need a $$$ figure to shoot for.

I could afford $10. Or $5 per month in donations? Depends. I don't see myself, even if the server worked, playing for more than a month or at most two. Even on live I can't stomach more than two months.

This gets old. Last time I was here DDOS attacks brought server down and combined with how I felt about some things I left to play on live. So 3 months or so I'm back and server has been hit again. I can't say I'm surprised.

At first I was like "Classic is kind of boring. I mean stats don't mean anything. It's just a linear walk from 1 to 50. Why am I here?" But then I got to play my druid and forgot all that. It was fun. Most of the fun is just being useful to others and helping them. And it doesn't have to be linear 1 to 50. Get a few people together and nothing stops you from going to less populated zones that have less ZEM. It's about adventure with friends.

Of course, I played in 1999 so I have some perspective. 1) I don't rush. 2) I don't twink my alts 3) I know that it's the adventure and the friends that matter most 4) I twink other players 5) Don't obsess ZEM and min/max.

the servers arent really getting attacked. Rogean took them down for his 2 week vacation to the Bahamas thanks to you nerds who paid for it. jesus. go go p1999

edit- im a nerd and that was sarcasm lol ^^

[Bannen]

Stop talking about what you could give and just give it. I sent my $10 today, just do it and give the man some options.

[trolleleet]

P1999 is no more.

Game over man, GAME OVER.

Time for a new game.

WTf is with the vid Eff?

[Vanech]

At the end of the month I'd be more than happy to throw down a Benjamin to the server, got other obligations to see to before then... plus I don't have a bank account so paypal or whatever is complicated, but I have no issues just mailing cash via u.s. postal.

I've been meaning to donate for a while, but I refuse to put my money in the hands of the banks so it puts me in a bad position :/

[Pikle]

Vanech you are awesome, I respect that! plus cool sig.
