A small handful of people put project 1999 together in their free time and maintain it at no cost to us. If it wasn't for them we simply would not be able to enjoy a classic EQ experience.
The best way to let them know you appreciate their *years* of work is a donation. I just donated. | ||

Simply using this as a reminder that infrastructure fails, and donations may help lessen that risk. I hope this helped you understand.

So, the login server went to shit, and it wasn't the teams fault, but if you donate it may possibly lessen the risk of it happening again? If A is not related to B Then funneling funds to A has no effect on B. I hope you understand the utter fucking stupidity of your reasoning. Look, I don't know if it has anything to do with the staff or some outside issue. Nor do I know if it coming back had to do with them making a call or flipping a switch. I don't really care. Being on every second of the day isn't my goal like the rest of the those on the forum as it appeared to be earlier. But, I do know that calling for a donation to a service when that service is down is absolutely asinine. Had you made your post a few days before, even a few hours before the servers were going down it would show good natured merit. Instead it's just going against the wave of tears to gain some forum karma, a petulant attempt to pin up and display your virtuosity. | |||

Got em
Also, seek help please. I can probably find a mental health charity to ask people to donate to for my next thread.

Please quote where I said donating will fix the login server. Just a reminder that donating may contribute to the well being of the server and may impact its ability to operate without interruption. Don't try to read too much into it. Sad how a call for charity devolved into RNF. But since we're already here: Please ask your mom to add some money to your account so you can help too.

The entire point is if you feel the need to donate that time shouldn't come at the moment when the server goes down. Throwing money at an unknown, even if your original intent was to remind people what they've gotten for free so far, is piss-poor managing of money. And there is certainly the ridiculous sentiment floating about that donating could prevent such a travesty from befalling one's Sunday again. My first comment wasn't towards you, but to the people tossing cash around in hopes the server would come up, and that such is foolish. But then you went on and deviated from your initial post and blandished the might happens of login server status if only they had a few more pennies. I don't think giving money to the staff will prevent such an error from occurring again. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm certainly correct about the idea that one should not donate money to any entity without financial transparency when the service is temporarily down. | |||
