Moulinneuf Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 His this the END of hte EMULATOR ? I was an Earth and Beyond LIve player ... I LOved the Game , played almost everyday When the shutdown day came , I was online wishing it was not so , saying goodbye to friend I had made and played with for years ... and then it shut down. I survived , because I am not a life in the game , but life was less fun. Then one day I found this Emulator ... I downloaded the game thinking it was just another attempt that was going no where like so many that had promised a return before. Just like in live I created a Jenquai Explorer .. thinking it was a small game day with no real content and probably no warp as i had seen before The game loads I am on the dock , I have been here before with other attemp I prepared for failure ... I UNDOCK and I am in Earth And Beyond space , this feel weird , this feel responsive. I open the map and point at the farthest Navigation point ... and the I hit the center button to make it go to WARP... And then ... I was Back ithe game I loved , with missions , mining , exploring and lots and lots of dying remeber I said I created a Jenquai explorer and has al new player know the first toon is the hardest ... This was du to the Emulator volunteer hard work. Thye had succeeded where many had failed before THE DEV and EMU Staff had done there jobs , all volunteer work. --------- The Player promise is SIMPLE. We play the Game , Have fun and speak of the game and invite people to play the game ! We also cover the MINIMUM fee that the Staff ask of us There is 34 646 Members !! This means that if everyone one of us give 1$ we cover the Game for 4 more Years Things are currently such that we DID NOT cover the last 6 month of 2019 and have not started quarter 1 of 2020 We are still n 2019 as Player promise and Payment is concerned. WE FAILED !! We CANNOT in good conscience ask the Dev and Developer and GM to do more or really Anything. UNTIL WE THE PLAYER fulfill the Player promise !! Unless we want another End of day and game shiutdown , this time forever ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepwalker Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) After three days back (I was around pre-wipe and then gone for many years) I decided that it was reasonable to donate at the same rate I pay to sub to the subscription-based MMOs I still pay for...and decided a year+ of comparable sub fees was an appropriate donation. I'm treating the game no differently than I did when I payed a sub...if it's worth playing it's worth paying (in my opinion). Now I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can donate at that level without being really concerned about it...but it doesn't require that. If the active players who don't donate today all donate even $10 then it's a start. Edited February 16, 2020 by Sleepwalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donate what you can when you can ... 60$ per year (5$ per month ) is feasible even for you. there is 34 646 members .. if everyone gave 1$ the server would be set for 4 years. Some people give more some give less Edited February 19, 2020 by Moulinneuf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people give more some give less Yep. It's not right for us to expect the devs to cover the costs themselves.. and especially if we want to ask for new content.. the very least we can do is reach the donation goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustinkaps Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Very happy to see the donations have picked up. We are so close to closing off 2019 (about $200 short). Hopefully members will continue to step in and fill that gap. We can do this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winlander Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Wow, the server has gone down and people've started donating for something to do! We've levelled up from around the $650-mark to $910 in just the last few hours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yeah, I actually forgot to donate the last months. Now I will pick up the pace. I have just been really busy the last few months. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
