大家好：


一直以来收到同一个问题，关于我们是如何为服务器筹集资金的。在压力测试期间，所有的费用是由工作人员承担。然而随着新服务器开放日期的临近，我们将会向你们寻求帮助。


网页中一直存在一个隐藏的捐助链接，大家可以根据自己意愿通过链接来进行匿名捐助。但是现在我们不得不发出声明来向你们寻求帮助，来维持服务器的运行。我们不会对游戏进行收费，也不会提供任何形式的捐助奖励。然而随着项目的急剧的扩张，以及N服项目的同步运行，我们对资金的需求到了无以复加的地步。


现在我们每个月支付900欧元（服务器620欧，加上仓库，证书，安保，等等）。随着新服务器的上线，费用会上升到每月1,200欧元。


我们都是这个项目的自愿者，我们会继续使用个人的资金来资助这个项目，但是请理解我们并不能单独完成这项任务。仅仅是因为我们没有能力去独自承担所有费用。我们保证不会有资金流向私人账户，每一分钱都会用来保证服务器正常的运行。


如果你想帮助我们，可以通过以下两种方式：
方式一：我们现在使用的服务器提供商，允许任何个人直接支付服务器费用。通过这种方式，可以延长服务器租赁期限。但是，这种情况下，你只能支付整月的费用，而不是一部分。
方式二：如果你选择捐献一小部分，你可以向我们的网页服务商进行捐助。

如何捐助：
登陆我们网站，点击控制面板，登陆账号，点击然后根据提示进行操作。

感谢你们在这急需的时刻给予的支持以及慷慨的捐赠。


英文原文如下：

Greetings!

Many of you have been asking questions about how we are funding the servers. During the stress test, all costs were handled by the staff. However, as launch is approaching, we turn to you for aid.

Until now, we have had a hidden donation link where individuals could donate anonymously if they so wished. However, now we must ask for your help in maintaining the servers. We will always remain free to play, and never offer any sort of donation rewards. But as the project has grown astronomically with the merging of the Nostalrius project, this request has become a regrettable necessity.

We are currently paying over 900 euros a month (620 from servers, plus additional fees for repositories, certificates, security features, etc), and this number will increase to over 1200 euros monthly with the release of the fresh server. We are all volunteers in this project. We have and will continue to contribute our own personal funds towards the hosting, but please understand that we cannot do it alone. We simply do not have the capability of doing so. We would also like to remind you that none of the funds contributed will ever go to an individual. Every cent will go directly to game server or web server upkeep.

If you wish to help us, you have two options.

Option one:
The hosting company we are using allows for anyone to directly pay for server hosting. This way, you are able to renew the server. However, if you use this option, you must pay for the entire month, and not just a portion of it.

Option two:
If you wish to donate a smaller amount of your choosing, you may contribute to our Web Server Hosting.

How to donate:
Simply go to the control panel on our website, log in, and follow the links and instructions.

In this time of need, we want to thank you all for your support and generosity.
