Whether or not to ask for donations was always a source of discomfort among the Administration here at EoE. We came from a few disheartening experiences ourselves, and didn't want things to turn south when we were running a server. However, while we wish we could keep everything running without looking to our players for some help- we would be hard pressed to pass up a thoughtfully given donation.
As per our policy of full disclosure, our server costs at the time of this writing are $32 a month (pretty good for all we have right?). We would appreciate any amount that someone willingly and- unsolicited by ourselves, gives to help us meet this monthly expense. Know that this money will ONLY be spent on server-related costs. If we are thinking about an upgrade from our provider- or advertising space on a website- we will hold votes on the forums; besides that, we will pay our server costs and keep you informed about the amount within the fund- and the costs we incur, should they change. To that end, and to offer a bit of incentive, yet not spoil the robust experience that EoE offers all of its players, we have devised a donation tier system that is both fair and inexpensive. Below you will find the aforementioned tiers, and their added benefits.
