Server donations & upgrades

Postby Poisonous » Mon Apr 24, 2017 2:37 am

Hello! Two suggestions here:

1. Can an alternative google pay method be added for those of us in the US? It won't let you pay between countries.
2. Due to all the donations, would it be possible to upgrade the server and add a auto-restart function?

Thanks for the suggestions.

1) We've got Paypal at the moment and there are those who've donated through that without a problem. If you know of an alternative Google Pay method, please let us know. We'll look into setting up a Patreon page sometime, it's quite an involved task by itself to make sure things look right.

2) NWN needs a minimal of specs to run, thankfully, because of its engine; even then, it can run smoothly without the need for a middle/top-spec machine that would be the base minimum for more contemporary games (Minecraft, Arma III, Dark Souls, etc). There's little need to upgrade the server at this time as we barely use up all of what we've purchased. If you take a look at the specs listed on our Donation Box page, you'll see that they are more than enough. An upgrade means that the extra cost will inevitably fall on donators as well which is what I'd like to avoid. TER is a hobby for us, it should never be a financial burden on our players, and we want to keep it that way.

An auto-restart function has been considered for some time and is being worked on, but the delay points to that there's something in the code that isn't making it an easy task. Meanwhile, we can promise we'll try to stay on top of things as best as we can.

Ah, for myself at least, PayPal doesn't work. Dang...
