Donate Your Level Day

Yllyrryon · 05-18-07, 02:01 PM

As I have mentioned before, these are an excellent idea for supporting Layonara Online. I am scheduling our next Donate Your Level Day for this coming 16 June.

http://www.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=203&day=2007-6-16&c=2

I am hoping we can hold these events quarterly. So I have scheduled Level Days for later in the year, September and December.

Please join me in supporting our wonderful on line world!

Myself, I continue to donate because I am very enthusiastic about Layos future. I am very keen about this idea of developing software independent of that offered by the big gaming software companies. From what I understand, this step L and the team will take in the near future will keep Layo around long after Nwn is long gone.

High on my wish list as a Layo player is this - that we can continue to enjoy Version 3 of Layonara right up to the time when we switch over to the new system presently being developed. And one very effective way to ensure this is by donating.

One way to look at it - making donations is more like a good habit that you must first acquire through effort. And by this I mean that it is all too easy to spend a significant amount of time here without paying a single penny. Yet you clearly get some value or benefit if you spend a lot of time here - participating in all Layonara has to offer is something that you want to do.

Now most people can be very innovative in obtaining something they really want, overcoming impediments such as being a minor, not having a credit card, or not trusting e-commerce, to name a few of the rationalizations folks have given for not donating.

The short of what I am getting at is that every single one of you reading this has the ability to donate, and I ask those who do not do so to make a simple paradigm shift and start getting into the good habit of donating to support Layonara Online. You can find a way to donate; it is affordable and money well spent; and like all other good habits, you will have wished that you had cultivated the habit should you ever have to face the consequences of your failure to do so.

In Friendship and Respect,

Ylly

Missed the last level day being out of work, vowed I'd do some catch up this one. Even though I volunteer my time and my grey cells, a small donation to keep the servers putt putting away is true well spent.

Thanks to everyone who donated!

Here, my contribution was as follows -

Ael 24
Krys 20

And a special thanks to any of you who decided to donate for the first time. You are getting into a good habit that will make a difference here for the better.

Donations keep the servers running and send a strong message that we truly appreciate the work, time, and other resources L and the team put into Layonara.

Thank you, once again, and keep it up!

Leanthar · 06-18-07, 09:29 AM

Thanks folks. I really appreciate drives like this, it goes a long way with helping to keep the costs of the game servers, database servers, forum servers, lore servers, character servers etc. under control.

This drive raised $595 over the weekend. Around the cost of 1 month of payments for all of our servers mentioned above. This really does help.

Thank you!

miltonyorkcastle · 06-18-07, 10:00 AM

rock on. only wish I could have helped this time.

ShiffDrgnhrt · 06-18-07, 10:11 AM

Yay! ^_^

**Pseudonym** · 06-19-07, 01:28 AM

Mine was a bit late, sorry!

$9 - Virtue
$11 - Gard

*simultaneously rejoices and curses his slow levelling*

ShiffDrgnhrt · 06-21-07, 01:00 PM

Tack on another $30 for Layonara!

**Pseudonym** · 09-20-07, 07:50 PM

*bump*

Check your calendar!!

Specifically this event here

**Pseudonym** · 09-20-07, 08:48 PM

Oi!

Stop reading that other thread about RPing conflicting deity relationships and pause awhile on this one here. Afterall, there will be no debate about any issue unless we continue to support this place.

ShiffDrgnhrt · 09-20-07, 09:47 PM

Yeah! What he said... *points up*

Chazzler · 09-21-07, 04:28 PM

Oh man, if I could just donate without a credit card....

And all Canadians out there - it's easier than ever to donate! Don't have to mess around with conversion formulae - if you want to donate $25 US, it's... it's... $25 CDN! *grins*

**Honora** · 09-22-07, 06:39 AM

*giggles* Darkstorme, Ca = California.

Of course, the idea of Californian State Currency has some appeal...*mind races*

Carillon · 09-22-07, 06:45 AM

I'm pretty sure he knows it's California.

I think Darkstorme just couldn't resist gloating that for the first time in his lifetime, the Canadian and US dollars are pretty much at parity. I have to admit, it's a bit strange not to have to do the math for the conversion!

Yllyrryon · 09-22-07, 01:59 PM

Payment submitted. Ael 24, Krys 25 - then add a buck for an even fifty.

darkstorme · 09-22-07, 03:04 PM

Payment submitted!

Edit: Oh, and Honora, of course I knew it stood for California - if it were Canada, I wouldn't have to think about exchange rates!

LordCove · 09-22-07, 05:04 PM

Incoming!

ShiffDrgnhrt · 09-22-07, 08:17 PM

I don't have money! *cries*
I'll owe, I guess, as soon as I get some cash =(

If you can donate please try, even just a lil. It helps lots!

Skywatcher · 09-22-07, 09:32 PM

Donated. And I got you covered too Shiff

Chazzler · 09-23-07, 04:42 AM

Unfortunately I don't own a check book, nor do I know how to fill a money order.. and sending either of those or cash through the mail would take weeks at best, and has a chance of ending "missing". So I wouldn't take the risk..

If someone wants to help me and the community out by giving a bank account number (which I doubt really!), and of course the person would have to able to send the money further along so it would reach it's destination one way or another.. I could make a transfer of currency to his/her account, and so forth... But really, heh, sounds dubious and all... but as I see it, it's the only chance for me to get money through at this point.

(Hoping to get a Visa -eligible card soon!)

EdTheKet · 09-23-07, 04:51 PM

For all you bank account holders out that that don't have a credit card, get a paypal account!

Paypal is now available in 190 countries (that's nearly all of them), in 21 of these you can transfer money from your in-country bank account to your paypal account and then on to anywhere they accept Paypal. How convenient is that?

Leanthar · 09-23-07, 05:10 PM

Thanks for all of the help folks. We had two large donations this round and in total there was $615 donated. That does the trick for almost two months since we have decreased the number of servers used.

Thank you!

Chazzler · 09-24-07, 10:20 AM

I so hope there's a .fi one for PayPal and it can!

Nope, no luck there *le sigh*

Yllyrryon · 12-13-07, 09:05 AM

Hey folks-

Our next Donate Your Level Day is this coming weekend.

http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=205&day=2007-12-15&c=2

Show your support for Layo and participate!

darkstorme · 12-13-07, 11:06 AM

Yay!

I was thinking of declaring another of these!

Come on folks, 'tis the season!

Lynn1020 · 12-15-07, 10:10 AM

So has everyone donated yet?

$10 isn't much but if everyone gave at least $10 it would start to add up.

Everyone should be able to give up... a cup of their Starbucks coffee, a movie ticket, a stop at a fast food restaurant, a couple of packs of cigarettes, a pack of beer *dodges the empty beer cans* or a couple of movie rentals etc. to donate $10. Plus it is the season for giving.

We all come here to play, rant and rave. We all should try to give at least a small bit back.

If you don't know how to donate.. here is the link

darkstorme · 12-15-07, 12:51 PM

Donated! Rounded up to the nearest $10. And thanks to a certain layo-addict in our household, significantly more than last DYLD.

Not that I begrudge her, or anything, but seriously, it shouldn't be fair to have a secondary closing on my primary's level. *pouts*

diagnull · 12-15-07, 11:30 PM

Since my only PCs are currently lvls 1 and 4, I doubled it and sent $10.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
