Hey everyone, Nindur from ATS here. The days of January are flying by and we will soon be at the months end, to most of you that means little but to some of us that means it's time to make sure we have quality servers to play on.
The NA siege server, the NA 80 man, and maybe most importantly the NA strategus server require donations to keep them going this month!! So if you are able to donate I urge you to do so! Anything from 5 cents to 1000 dollars (I can dream) helps!
Also I would like to leave you with a brief explanation of the easiest way to donate. I have overheard some people saying they would like to donate but they are weary of using their credit card or banking information online. My friends I would like to introduce you to www.paypal.com! Paypal is the worlds foremost authority on secure Internet transactions! Trusted by every company from eBay to MasterCard paypal will take the payment from your credit card or bank account and then send the money to where ever you choose. In the event that something bad ever did happen you would be protected through paypal and depending on the situation you would usually be given your money back if it was an illegitimate transaction or scam. I have personal experience with this and I love it!
So if you can please send any donations to [email protected], and keep in mind that we depend on your donations to keep all our NA servers running for everyone to enjoy and to the strat factions: who wants to siege a castle on EU ping?! So let's get together and do this, let's keep the NA servers strong!

From what I remember (haven't checked in awhile), Paypal takes 30 cents for any donations less than 15 dollars so if you choose to donate I'd advise against the 5 cent minimum. I too thought it would be funny donating pennies to people once, until someone told me I'm not actually giving them anything.
-
i may be in the minority, but paypal makes me want to donate less.
i have heard so many horror stories from people, including minecraft dev about third party companies taking money then refusing to pay, i want nothing to do with that.
You guys should set up an address with which to mail cash money

You have more of a chance to get scammed at a gas station that by being scammed by Paypal...
Paranoid people are funny. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

is there an error with the NA siege server?
i get Incorrect Authorization Key when i try to connect, I play on it all the time this happened to me last night and today now
i can connect to the EU servers with no problems
i love the NA Siege and when i get some cash would be more than happy to donate
Edit: don't fear Paypal I've been using it for many years and i have never had a problem with them
-
can we get a page with actuall donations and amount donated plus target for this month?
seams strange just sending money over without knowing how much you need and what's missing.
-
I gave five dolls last.month broke until weekend will do ten
-
I would donate some money, if you could send cash through the mail. I just dont trust using credit cards on computer, (Viruses, fake site, etc.) Even if it looks real and is real and money is donated, if a virus comes on my computer it can still get that information from the computers recorded history. (may not be real but im not taking that chance)

Sent.

Using ChipIn or something similar would be a neat way of monitoring the donations like that.
-
You should change it to the NA ATS servers need help (no offense intended) :D
-
I have donated using this paypal in the past to keep the NA servers up. You won't get scammed. It's all good.
If we can get everyone who frequents the NA servers to donate like a buck or two, the servers will be maintained and possibly expanded.
-

They are both maintained by the same person, on the same server box, who is an ATS member. If ATS doesn't pay for their side, the other NA server goes down too.

I know the Hospitaller/ATS server, but I was referring to the Fallen server :P And isn't there a Blood server, or something like that?
-
I think it would be cool if we could actually send in the money to an address.
For example, let's say I'm a 12 year old kid and my mom doesn't want to give money to some 8-) "random guy" 8-). I could write a beautiful letter to this "random guy" saying how awesome this game is and how much I love to play it. With that letter, I can attach my 20$ I saved up from Christmas and mail it in.
If not, I'll just send my money to Gash.

I agree. My parents wouldn't let me donate to something using PayPal (or send a letter, probably). Otherwise, I would donate to A server.

I doubt he believes the address anymore. Lol.
-
How far would $100 go towards keeping up the servers? I figure I can take half a day's wages to help pay for something I play 4 hours a day. It will be a couple of days before you see the donation, paypal clearing and all that.
Also, I would seriously love to see a west coast server. What would it take to get a 80 man server going for the west coast, or would that split the population too much?
-

Don't see why he wouldn't. That's a pretty specific address to just suddenly pop up with out of the blue.
/shrug
Ah well.

I know Gorath would be on it XD
-
So who is the donation going to, exactly? As in, who's paypal is [email protected]?
I'm going to throw in, just curious.
-
I has donated. Wish I had known that if I had bumped it up to $15 they wouldn't have charged me, but I guess I know for next time.

Do it as a "gift". They don't charge you for "gifts".
And yeah, I'd be on a west coast server for sure.

Not anymore. It was a gift.

Cash in the mail? What? Serious? Did you know that is a bad idea?

LOL at Everett. How did they get so much traffic in such a crappy town?
-
i have sent and received cash by mail many times.
I distrust paypal, and all escrow type online money holding systems of the like. no thanks, id much rather cut out the middle man

Cause of that stupid fucking stadium bullshit that drove rent up by almost double what it used to be. Ever-rot will always be ever-rot no matter how much they try to "beautify" downtown or lick Seamy old friendle taint. OMG, we have a stadium now, whoopee. That doesn't mean those fuckers are going to come live here. They're going to come to the stadium and get the fuck out after the concert/game/whatev is over with. Fucking moron politicians.

hurr

Please donate to these great servers, where if you don't agree with admins they ban you forever, because you're worth less than the dirt under their grubby nails as far as they're concerned. They wont reason because they're immature, they wont compromise because they're proud, they wont change their decisions because they're stubborn. They will try and make you look worse than you are so they can look justified to everyone else, but many people including myself know what they are like and have personally experienced how they 'run' the servers. If you want to donate to a server you stand a high chance of being perma banned on for something hardly worth a kick if that, be their guest.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, I can tell that you are a well educated and a mature individual, possibly able of feeding yourself!
To all the others who actually enjoy playing this mod on the NA servers, I will get the server hosts mailing address as soon as I can. To answer one of your questions [email protected] is the guy who runs all the NA servers. To everyone who has already donated, a sincere thanks from everyone involved with the NA servers! For future reference, if you donate, please include your in game name or a name of your choosing so that you might be recognized for your contributions( Amount will be undisclosed)!

The quality of the server admins has a direct correlation with the amount of donations, sorry.

@serpus: If the ATS servers go down, no one has anywhere to play beside the TFO server, and that's only 120 people :x
Nindur, just say Garguro :] And, why are you asking for the donations? Why isn't someone like an admin? I'm just curious.
-
if the 80 man fails someone else will replace it
-
Donate or they'll take over the EU servers! :cry:

No one else wants the shitty job of bugging people so I volunteered. Also, we still require Donations people! Our good friend gash chucked 50 bucks a few days ago and we still require 50 dollars for the servers this month!

What are habs tickets? I'd donate, too, even though I don't use your servers much. I honestly would, but there's no way I can. I don't have a PayPal, and I couldn't use my dad's... :o

"habs tickets" refers to the NHL hackey team the Montreal Candadiens

I used to commute through Everett. I hate, hate, hate that city.
And I'll go ahead and throw down some dough for the NA servers.
BTW, Gorath, get a damned server in Everett running - I live like 30 minutes from Everett!

Bull, My man!

That would be sweet, same for me. I hate how people in Europe only have like 20 ping higher than me on the NA servers.
-
25$ for Habs tickets?! Holy shit! :shock:
The crappiest seats up top don't go for under 120$ a pair - its retarded! :mrgreen:
-
Sent 10 dollars finally ma jarb finally paid me
-
Dr Kronic, My man!!
-
I would much rather see a service like chipin.com being used so the community can monitor the funds and see where they are going. It's easy to set up, check em out.
-
Thanks for the feedback! I will go have a look right now!
-
After having a chat with the powers that be I have two pieces of information for you! First off, we still require 40 dollars for the servers this month! There are only a few days remaining in the month so any donations are needed asap! Also, after reviewing your suggestion of Chipin.com, we have decided that we are uncomfortable with making the switch when we all have had positive experiences with paypal.
Don't forget, all donations go directly into the NA servers! Donate to [email protected] using paypal.com!

ChipIn still uses PayPal, so more people will donate if they know exactly how close and where the money is going.
