Just a reminder about the donate link for those that mentioned they could use a reminder from time to time. page.php?page=donate

Hey guys, Carman just lost her job. It's going to be tight for a few weeks. If you've been wondering when, or waiting to donate. It would help us keep the bills paid through it. If you want a break down of what the servers cost, check the original post.

I really hate doing this. I feel like I'm begging. But I'm currently feeling the need to remind the community that the servers do cost money to keep going. Its not much, and I don't generally need any help. But any little bit can be the difference between eating ramen for a week or real food depending on whats going on that month. We recently acquired a second vehicle and have the insurance and registration of both in our names for the first time. So right now we're still adjusting to the additional drain.

I do make every effort to get things fixed when they break down (ie. servers down. I am not involved in the in game systems). Sometimes no one notifies me and I don't find out right away, but when I am notified, I try to resolve the situation as fast as possible. I was recently told I should be enjoying my camping trip instead of trying to figure something out for someone. But my phone would have allowed me to do it lakeside if I hadn't been convinced otherwise.

Another bump and reminder that keeping the servers running does incur a monthly cost to me. Even if just 10 players donated $5, it would more than offset the costs incurred by Hala alone based on the estimates in the original post.

Hi. New to this server, and Prodigal player returning to this medium after more than a decade in exile. I'd be happy to pitch in, both here and Arkaz, but don't see donation links?

Also, have Hala and Arkaz been consolidated into one organization? I'd understood that the teams overlapped?

Still hoping for a reply.
