Hosting support?

Post by tangar »

I've just found out that TomeNET moved to new hosting:
The TomeNET servers were hosted kindly by the grace of Fizz, an employee of a French company which provides line capacity, a secure environment and a dedicated server just for the TomeNET project. Then moved over to a server hosted by OVH in France.

If so.. Hosting a server is kinda not cheap thingy. Maybe there would be some possibilities to support project, to help devs to maintain hosting? I'm sure some players are willing to help their favorite game. It could be donations, merch (for ex: http://www.cafepress.com ) or https://www.patreon.com

*waiting for devs comments...*

Anyway I just wanted to report that I'm (and not only I, I suppose) ready to help with donations. I already saw several online games which was closed by devs cause they didn't had $ for hosting and they were too shy/proud to ask community for it. I don't wanna it to repeat there, in TomeNET, so wanna propose help in advance, before bad stuff happens.

Hi, as discussed and stated in the past already (although I can't seem to find it on the forums, so maybe it was just in chat, weird..), we are running a no-donations policy. We don't want any form of pressure of moral obligation. TomeNET is free and remains to be completely free. You don't have to worry about "but hey, did YOU donate yet?.." and such kind of thoughts. This has not changed and is not subject to change.
Thanks for your considerations, but we are not in need of donations, don't worry.
