Still sitting ar $0.00 in donations, not a single one so far.

Scorpious2k 10-21-2006 01:02 PM

So far $0 in donations.

I hope people are donating to the right place...

Sorce 10-21-2006 02:34 PM

Right Place
 
I know you may have posted it before, but maybe yo can post it again just to make sure we know where to go. I was going to donate this week, and want to make sure I know the right place to go.

I'll need a PM telling me your forum name (from the mantis forum http://www.scorpious2k.net/mantis/disclaimer.html where we will have the s2k forums), account name, email used with paypal, and amount donated.

*looks around and wonders where everyone went when he said "donations" *


See above for the info (this makes 3 times its posted in this thread, I realy hope someone dont send it omewhere else)

terminator24h 10-22-2006 11:21 AM

Yes Please!
 
I loved S2k. Please bring it back. I will be eternally grateful. I miss it daily and I wish it were still a part of my life.

All jokes aside, it was an excellently run server and I would gladly donate if it were brought back up. Particularly if my character is still there :)

G rated servers in a T rated game are lame. how "G" is it when the purpose of the game is to kill things? that doesnt sound like a family friendly thing to do

paaco 10-22-2006 03:34 PM

By G rated they really mean like PG-13. No rediculous amount of cursing and acting like your 12. It doesn't mean you have to talk in /ooc about Barney and Carebears as you kill things.

conquerer 10-22-2006 04:34 PM

So if you are at $0.00. How much do you need to get it up and running? Exact figures please, no ambigous "we need some money to get started" kind of answers.

Scorpious2k 10-23-2006 11:01 AM

I am still looking at and considering dedicated servers but the cost will be about $120-150 month - so enough for the first monthe would be needed at the least before we brought it up.

Sorce 10-25-2006 12:46 PM

Have a question
 
As I mentioned before, it has been a long time since I have played on this server. My question is, will it be on the list of servers currently accessible, or is there somewhere else I should check on occasion to see if you guys have brought it up?

Are you guys still thinking about bringing the server back? Just havent heard anything in a while, and was curious.

mattmeck 10-29-2006 12:03 PM

yes, just still waiting.

kovouau 11-02-2006 12:54 AM

Got the donation and thanks.

At last check, we are at $30

Sorce 11-08-2006 01:15 PM

Wow
 
If he donated $10, and I donated $15, then all of those people that voted yes, must not want the server back up as badly as they originally stated.

kovouau 11-08-2006 11:59 PM

come on guys :D..... best server around, and we are at $30... sorry thats a bit sad.... if everyone who voted yes..... donated $5-$10.... wed have the first 3 months done

EliseusKayne 11-09-2006 06:34 AM

If i had money, I would donate.

n3uxme9669 11-09-2006 09:59 AM

same, i have no money... or paypal.

i'd love to donate but, can't.


sorry.

Sorce 11-09-2006 04:10 PM

Oh Well
 
So much for my $15 I guess

John Adams 11-09-2006 06:18 PM

Yeah, there's a way to inspire others to donate... start assuming you got screwed. Here's a different approach; be patient, wait and see what the admins come up with.

Sorce 11-10-2006 11:37 AM

Right
 
I said nothing about being screwed, I have full faith in the administration. As for being patient, I have been checking the forums every single day, hoping for an update, or an eta. I played their server long enough to know that there are some good people behind it, so I am in no way attacking them. However, after it was said they needed donations, people continued to vote yes, without helping the cause. If I didn't have faith, I would never have donated in the first place.

That being said, I could have worded it differently. As in, I guess, at this time, there isnt much hope for the server being brought back.

errr, nice PR, but when i played bans never came when guides became corrupt deciding to spawn boss mobs over and over again for loot. also, when people were duping blue diamonds and event items, what happened? absolutely nothing. and the leadership DID know about it =P

czahrien 11-18-2006 02:59 AM

I don't know what you are talking about. Bannings were swift in everything that you mentioned once it was found out that this stuff was happening. The dupers weren't perma banned but the duping exploit was fixed and there was no problems since.

The guide(he had a lot of GM commands, guides had no power to spawn mobs) that was spawning low level npcs with loot tables of the targets was caught and banned within a few hours after the npcs were discovered, he was already disliked by most of the people on the server and his equipment on his "legit character" which was a mystery for awhile all of a sudden made sense. As far as I know after those two incidents there was nothing that happened that was anywhere near the same level. Other than that one guide all the guides did their job correctly.

I think you quit while the things were happening or missed the actions taken against them. Within a day or two after both of these things were discovered they were banned. The GMs were almost always on and many of the people who I knew were always on the watch for suspicious things and were in contact with the GMs quite often about things which didn't seem right.

Anyway playing on the Scorpious2k was the most fun I have ever had playing EverQuest, I would donate all I could to bring it back if I had money. :(

Scorpious2k 11-23-2006 08:10 AM

I am thinking of bringing it up on our home connection over the weekend...

Scorpious2k 11-23-2006 09:34 AM

Correction... it's up.

Donators, contract me to find out how to get in if you don't know how.

The rest of you, if you can get in, are welcome to join us.

zshasis 11-23-2006 10:38 AM

zshasis 11-24-2006 04:04 PM

The big issue is its running off a cable connection at Scorps home, so only a few people can actualy play, once there is enough donations for a dedicated server we will open it to everyone and broadcast it loud where it is.

zshasis 11-26-2006 03:38 PM

well i had the patcher to get on it... but i have seem to misplaced it. would you be able to give another one?

maepoot 11-26-2006 09:27 PM

Enjoy your fries Scorp ;)

maepoot 11-28-2006 04:18 AM

Can you keep us updated on the donation status please Scorp?

Waiting on funds transfer to my paypal before I can donate anymore.

Scorpious2k 11-28-2006 11:55 AM
