As an initiative towards reasonable donation, I hereby nominate Friday, February 23rd as "Donate Your Level Day"! The way this would work is very straightforward. On Friday, Feb. 23rd, 2007, sum the levels of your characters and donate the dollar amount you come up with. (Or, if you're like me, round it up to the nearest $5, and then donate it.)
Even if half the characters who have been active in the last two weeks donate, that would be nineteen hundred dollars.
And (with the possible exception of Ozy ;)), it's really not that much to give.

This is a really great idea! Count me in!

31+24+20+16+16=107 dollars. Whee!
Good idea though. I'll look into it.
-
*smiles* I will let everybody know how much this "drive" generates. Looking foward to the results. :)
-
Sadly I can't donate that much because I'm rather poor at the moment *sigh*
but ill donate as much as I can :)
-
Same as the above. College student living off of the prepaid food plan right here. Can't even buy in a two dollar ante for a poker game >.
-
*chuckles* College student myself. I'm willing to forgo a night at the Pub (not that I tend to go anyway, mind) to donate to the cause.
-
Since I'm so new and low-level, I'll triple my donation to help the college students out. (Hey, they pay my salary, it's the least I can do.)
-
*smiles* Good idea. Count me in. 8)
-
Great idea I will do it.
-
This is definitely a good idea. The person who thought this up is very clever :)
Count me in.

Grr...can't you move it forward a week? Whenever we have any 'drive' or for donations they always finish before the last week of the month. Don't know how it is everywhere else in the world but in the UK most people in full time employment get paid monthly sometime in the last week of the month. The week before I'll be skint :)

-
Let's see
9+8+11+19+14=61
eh eh...
Just donated more than dat the other day... why wait for a special 'drive' day to donate anyway *grins*
But it's a good idea... *writes the date on his Layo calendar*
-
Where are donations sent to?
-
Here. (http://www.layonaraonline.com/donate.asp) It's the big button up in the top-right corner of all the forum pages.
-
If I donate my level now, will it get my Newest PC Sub looked at any faster? :-P Just kidding, I'm ALL in, 20 for the big L
-
19+15+14+8+9= 65 bucks. I'll make paypal the first check this year.
-
well what the.. my account would eventually restore with the state's student support :P
-
I have a steady job so I can donate something now. I'll see what I can do. not sure what teh amount would be with my levels but I might make it higher.
I calculate it and I came up to 18 dollars. Might make it higher then that.
and why only donate on th 23rd?
-
The 23rd was chosen arbitrarily. While you're welcome to donate whenever you wish, of course, I thought it might be neat to see how many people participate on that day in question. (L will let us know, as he said.) It gives people a chance to read about it before the day of.

Since I'm so new and low-level, I'll triple my donation to help the college students out. (Hey, they pay my salary, it's the least I can do.)
Since I'm a poor college student too I'm looking for a sponsor in this donation drive!
My character levels are: 25 + 14 + 14 + 9 = 66
I donate (alot of) my time to Layonara and while that is important to keeping the game vital it doesn't help L with the server and bandwidth bills. So please, if you have the means, donate some for me to keep this wonderful place online and available to us all.
Sincere thanks,
Jesse Wright (Talan Va'lash, SongOfTheWeave)

7+4(+1)=11(+1) But, I don't think I can donate much this month...
-
I guess I can be forgiven if I can't donate this month. Let's see...
Alright, my character level is 4. That would be four dollars, IF, and oly IF, in my country we used dollars. Alright, I can convert it, but the conversion here is for 2,70 (or something like that) Reais (the name of the money here. The translation of the meaning would be "Reals", from "real" for you, just to let you know), so, this would do 10 Reais (R$ 10), for me to donate US$ 10. This isn't much, but if you think that I'm also a college student, that I receive monthly R$ 241, that I have to pay R$ 50 in debits (light, phone, you know, I must live...), more R$ 50 on bus, R$ 50 in material (psichology isn't easy...), and pay every month R$ 120 of my new pc (my old one mage a big BANG and died!), you can all sum that and see that I'm broken (and playing layonara at my girlfriend pc).
So, forgive me this time -____-
Ps: I also fix computers, for those who summed it and saw that my debits are greater than my income. Don't worry, but thanks.
-
If money is really tight, of course there's no obligation to donate.. but do bear in mind that L does drop a lot of money on this world for all of us. Better to take some of the load off him. I'm budgeting this month! (Hopefully, soon, there will be a job, and much more generous donations.)
-
I think we should have one of these kinds of days perhaps every other month.
If each time we raised even $500 that would take half the burden off of L and make life easier.\\
As I said I'm throwing in $20 so $480 left to go :p
-
*chuckles a little, slowly pushing the poster back to the top*
Now, let's see.....17+5+5+6+8.....bloody hell.....why've I got so many characters.
Bah! I'll work in pounds so....£40!
23rd Feb - Donate your Level Day!
Who's next.....?
-
*casts Eagle's Splendour on the thread*
Two days to go!
-
LOL...Duhhh! The big button in the corner. :-) That'll teach me to open my mouth without looking first.
-
ITS DONATE YOUR LEVEL DAY! Get wit the donatin :p
-
Almost forgot about this.
So let me see Jacc (26), Rakan (11) .... mmm Orion, I have to pay for him as well seeing he is part of the fun.....*grumbles* why must he be 40..... oh well
Thatmakes $77 according to my calcs.
In my currency is converts to quite a bit, but worth every sent.
Thanks for putting this great world out there, which I have had the priviledge to play in for the last....mmm 21 months I think.
-
Still 10 hours left! (At least if you're on the West coast like I am.)
Donating feels good. Like a nice day at the beach. Up until you're attacked by goblins. Well, most beaches are nice, anyway. Donate!
-
$55 sent
-
$34.00 Could've been worse. We might all be on a hack'n'slash server where our characters max out in a few weeks ... kinda made me appreciate the mid-level grind for the first time!! :)
-
Done and done... 25 buck-a-roos in The Man's bank! Best 25 I've ever spent. Thank you Leanthar and all the Team and PLayers that make this a great place.
