Default EQEMu Woes.

Due to recent incidents EQEMu is undergoing some hard times. Our Google account was cancelled. Google cites the following reasons.

Quote from Google:

" Your Google AdSense account was found to be related to an account previously disabled in September for invalid click activity.
This account was approved in error. Publisher's whose accounts have been found to receive invalid clicks are not allowed further participation in the AdSense program. We apologize for the inconvenience. As outlined in our program Terms and Conditions, Google reserves the right to terminate any publisher's participation at any time. "


So now we have come to the point where we either ask you, our user base, for help or we start cutting back on services. The money generated by those adds was used to pay for services that you use (website/loginserver ect). Without your help we will have to cut back on some of those services. Our agreement with our current dedicated host is ending, and because of the lack of add revenue we are unable to get a new host.

If you do decide to donate you will get a special forum title, and Special(tm) Tech support from myself.

We are accepting paypal donations at paypal@eqemulator.net.

Wow, this actually concerns me quite a bit now. First we have the topic on a OSS loginserver locked so there can't be any additional conversation around peoples ideas on why one might be needed (or not) and now we get notice that the EQEmu login servers are at risk.

If I weren't in dire straights myself, I'd consider helping again. It's a pity that these droughts happen as often as they do.

well...let's see.
i think i have something in that range laying around somewhere
useing my fingers and toes I could offer a decent amount.
ah tell ya what if you maybe update 5.3 win32 compiled with the new healthbar fix and ummm the ld mob fix maybe i can see something in the range of 50 bucks...
does this sound like a bribe ???
nah nobody reads these post anyways so it's ok if we pretend
you didnt see that right....
this is all of course hypothetical if say this was to happen then maybe that would happen....hmmm
let me make it clear that this is in no way a bribe or a sway in the
unethcial direction...im just saying it would be a gratefull contributation and would I for one would be more likely to donate....get my drift..... nudge nudge poke poke..
end of transmission...

Bribes usually generate from a higher portion of the scale. I don't think 50 is enough, considering the high value is on the low end of 36 digits, and you only offered 2 digits.

Offer him the GDP of the US, and it's a bribe.

This is exactly the reason they never asked for donations from users before, people saying I know you have to put out $ for me to use this but if you dont do what I want I aint sending a dime but I am still going to use it.


Your donationg so you should have a say right? Well where dose that stop? 500 people all donate they all want diferent things who comes first?


Personaly if they can hold out till I get income tax I will gladly send them a couple hundred just so they can tell people like this to STFU and leave.

I thought you were pretty decent but now the frIgging light has been cast in your corner and you just anouther RUNUO type jerkoff

sdabbs please just leave. Seriously you're whining about a service that you get for free, yet they have to dish out money to let you enjoy their free service.

And before you get banned/owned for being a complete fucking moron spell your servers name right.
