Title: Donations Needed
Post by: Jared on Wednesday, February 05, 2014, 10:22:36 AM
As most of you hopefully know, we all are passionate about this game. There are various ways in which we have fun on it but the common item is just that; fun. We are grateful that we can share our fun with you as without you, this game wouldn't have existed this long. You populate our servers, you give us ideas and you donate to the project.

Lately though, donations have been a bit light, to the point where server costs aren't being taken care of. We don't like asking for donations but we pour a lot of time into this project and it's not fair to pay for it ourselves.

Our month server costs end up being around $60.00 USD a month. Anything you donate will go straight to server cost and will help keep Assist moving forward.

As you can see, it's not free to run this project. If you would like to help contribute to keep this game alive, please consider a donation. To show our gratitude, we will grant every donation made in the next week a special donator's icon in-game, normally reserved for $20 and higher donations.

Yep, everything checked out on my end.  Since your an RM member, your name stays the same, but normal users names on the forums will turn green.  :)

Im willing to donate but I dont use paypal cause it needs a creditcard, dunno it still like this...

This would be a great idea, how bout every active player donates $5 a month, that wouldn't break no ones pocket, and it would show some type of appreciation what assist has and is doing to keep this game alive,
I'm sure alot of people don't realize what hard work yous do on you're free time

What you think???
Title: Re: Donations Needed
Post by: bollie on Wednesday, February 05, 2014, 11:02:37 AM
You can't force people to pay 5$
It should be a free choice,  otherwise you scare away a lot of people.

A lot of people are willing to pay,  I'm sure.  But it should be a choice.

I know there is allready a possibility to make a donatio in assist,, but it should be more attractive to give a donation, how is my question... better we brainstorm about this

Assist will never force players to donate. If they want this game alive then they will pay.

We already had deep discussions about the donation reward but this has not been in agreement yet and it goes nowhere at the moment.

Also forcing people to pay is illegal.

You can donate how ever much you want, we provide common options and below the common options there is a box for other, where you can enter any amount you wish.

We will never force people to pay. This has been talked about in the private assist staff forums, we will only accept donations from people that wish to donate.

Assist cost money to run like anything, the only income we have is donations. Everyone that plays is playing because of donations that help cover the server costs.

You don't need a paypal account to donate. When you click make a donation and get redirected to paypal, click the button "Don't Have A Paypal Account' and you can just pay with any card like normally.

B u big nooblet lol, i didn't say force people to pay $5, would be nice that every active player donated $5 a month

If people enjoy playing as much as i do, they will start to donate, would be sad to see the game die due to funding

Btw when I get off my long 14 hr work shift, I'll make your guys $60 Feb goal,

Just to say thanks everyone for their support, this month project goal has been already reached which is $60.

It just shows how much you guys are grateful of what AA devs do.

I bet everyone who contributes to assist is very grateful and hope you keep donating and helping to reach next month goal and so on.

Someone needs to inform Sergio about this....quite a few members including myself don't have the in-game icon.
