Floss Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (Server not serving, bleh) Donation total shot from about 50% to 102% today. Conspiracy theorists put on your tinfoil hats! Dead server = forum traffic = donation traffic? Only business model I can think of where a lack of product availability results in an increase in revenue The economists would be having fits trying to explain this one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokushibyou Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 People visit forums to find out status of game Notice they still haven't donated yet, feel slightly guilty Donate some cash because A. donating will make things run better and b. will make the server come back up faster!! I also haven't visited the forums in a few days, so game being down increases the traffic overall. It also helps today is a payday for many people.

Kaiyzer Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I agree. If you never go to the forums, you'll never see the donate tab! I must say though, I dontaed today before I was aware of the server status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floss Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 wonder how hard it would be to put a donate tab on the net-7 launcher... like right next to the play button Would be funnier to have the two buttons randomly switch places, sort of like a Bonzai Buddy EnB add-on.
