MP-Gaming - We Don't Just Talk A Good Game, We Live It!

My cat is starving and I can't afford to feed her. Please send me money!

All jokes aside, we are actually in need of donations. Here's the deal...

Several services that MP-Gaming offers are hosted on a server that Zunnie has been renting. Zunnie will no longer be able to rent this server due to sudden circumstances changing for him, and this means his server will be taken offline at the end of this very month.

I am no stranger to renting servers myself, and over the years have actually spent several thousand dollars of my own money on hosting MP-Gaming's servers, until I had to walk away from it several months ago.

Retrospectively, given the time we've been running it would of made much more financial sense to buy a server, and pay for the privilidge of running it in a datacenter. This is called colocation. You do not pay for the rental of the server, because you own it (and there for when it breaks you have to drag your arse up to the datacenter to fix it and replace the components), but you pay a premium for the server using the datacenter's services and amenities.
A retrospective view always has 20/20 vision though, and I can't change the decisions and actions of the past.

I honestly do not have much money these days. I'm a dad now and my wife now only works part-time. However, I want to create a sustainable solution for MP-gaming going forward, and have decided that I would like to purchase a server for MP-Gaming's use, and host it in colocation.
The initial cost of the server will be a large one-off payment, but the on-going colocation fees should make it sustainable.

I am not asking for recurring donations (although they are most welcome), but I am asking for a one-off donation from those that are in a position to send it. This needs to happen ASAP, so while it is appreciated, comments of future intentions are not really relevant right now.

The thing is, buying a server is expensive. I have some money, but this initial purchase is very important, it's what we'll be using for years hopefully, so we want to get the best we can to provide the best services. If we can afford even 200mhz more CPU power today, over the course of 12 months that's quite a difference.

So every Dollar/Euro/Pound/Rupee that you send, will really make a lasting impact, rather than help cover one month. It's a lasting donation that will make a real difference. I would encourage anyone who hasn't donated before but was thinking of doing so, to do it now. Now is the time that will make the most difference. You get the idea...

If you can donate, please do so via paypal to fm_reborn@hotmail.com
