I'll try to include a donation in this month's budget, no guarantee though but most definatly for next month I believe.

Just out of curiosity; is the paypal donations setup to handle monthly subscriptions? ie: I'd like to have an automatic donation of $10 (US) so that I don't have to remind myself every month... (I don't have a paypal account setup yet which is why I'm asking and not just finding out myself).

I don't know if you can do that or not but I would guess (just a guess) that you can....

no one should feel guilty if they cannot donate. It is a donation. Give what you can and what you wish to give.

And if you absolutley must have something other than the joy of playing here to encourage donation. I would direct you to the layonara store :-)

Paypal monthly debit is possible - see subscription and recurring payments under merchant tools at Paypal.

I perviously GM'ed/PLayed alot on NeverwinterConnections, fantastic team and site, however Layonara is the first PW I have found truely enjoyable, and the flexible 24/7 suits me better. I had a recurring donation to NWC and would be glad to do the same here.

Leanthar · « **Reply #25 on:** January 13, 2005, 01:54:00 PM »

Yeah, NeverwinterConnections is very good at what they do. The people running it are good people as well.

hey im new here but this topic doesn't seem that old either so i was wondering about how much are you getting a month on average just to see how far away we are from meeting the monthly requierment, or from starting to save up for an upgrade just to let us know how much more you need and what our goal is for the upgrade and i'm sure more people who can will donate that's my suggestion take it or leave it, thanks for reading the thoughts of someone new

Leanthar · « **Reply #27 on:** March 07, 2005, 03:17:00 PM »

I am receiving an average of 120 - 160 per month. My costs are now averaging around $275 - $300 month. The busier server is uping my bandwidth charges by quite a lot.

I'll send out a 20 tomorrow. Heh, wash cars, stay cool, get payed, donate to Layo!

Trace! We need your bumping skill mastery! (I say we get trace to pressure us to donating for the next 3 months, if it goes like it did, we should have enough to keep layo up for the rest of the year

)

PayPal wouldn't take my AmEx....oh, just got some cash from Chinese New Year...here we go...*attempts to sneak $20 by mom into the mailbox*

Haha! I just bought 80 dollars worth of cool stuff from the Layo store on this website! Remember that is donating as well, you just get something spiffy for it! Ready chant with me..."Donate, Donate, Donate, Donate!" LOL Donate if you can. The world is becoming an absolutely amazing immersive experience. Leanthar is amazing to have paid for this so long out of pocket, but it is time to do our part. I for one, do not want to see Layo ever dissapear! D-O-N-A-T-E = play Layo FOREVER!!! *laughs like a mad scientist*

The loot I've been stashing away for college is starting to overflow. I can start tossing 100 or so a month in. I figure two years of great gaming equates about to that. Hehe.

I blame Ozy for that, hogging all the bandwidth.

Missed the mail today, coming your way tomorrow.

Donations over the past three months have been about 50% of costs. I know this community can make it 100%. Please don't let all the hard work the team has put in and you have put into your character die to economics. $5.00-$10.00 more once a month from 10-20 more people would make all the difference.

Please consider donating if you can spare the money.

Thank you!

Personally I know a good four or five people that say they're going to donate and end up forgetting (as is the way of human kind

). So if you've got a credit card, a steady income, and love this game as much as I do, there is a way you can set up monthly donations so you don't have to worry about forgetting. We've got over a thousand people signed up for the Layo forums, and at least a hundred people that hack their way around in game, a little something here and there will help keep your temporary escape from reality alive. Long Live Layonara!

I am one of those that ZV mentioned that always forget to donate, thus, having had my conscience assaulted once again I have followed the links and taken the time to set up an automatic donation every month. I've never paid to play anything before after the innitial purchase price, but Layonara is a great place, and I want to contribute to it's upkeep as much as I can. So... hopefully the bandwidth will bite a bit less into Leanthars wallet now.

I agree about paying t0 play. The reason I do here is, one it is not forced. I lose my job or have a bad month I am not going to be banned. Two, Helping keep this server going strong is a community effort. And I am not paying "the man". If you can help, great. If not, well still enjoy:)

And Vy- I was never mad. And thanks for working on getting it worked out.

Ok. I just signed up for the 10 dollars a month deal. I'm sorry I can't give more, but you can look for additional bonuses on months that the Movie Theatre does well. I love you guys! Layo Forever!

For a great world and for hours of enjoyment that I have here please find my small monthly donation.
And a friendly reminder, it costs nothing to play in this great world and nobody is forced to make any donations, but if you have the resources to make a small donation, please do.
That way we all can continue to enjoy this great place.
Keep up the great work L and team.
