Made a new banner ^_^



And we're now gold member on the top100 for a trial period of 7 days, if it seems to help bring new players we might subscribe to their gold membership.

2008/09/01 Updated the first post with the announced changes.

Also, I paid a 1 month "gold membership" on top100, which gives us a banner, hopefully it brings in new members ^_^

I'm purchasing a new computer for the server, better of course ^_^ I made a deposit a few days ago, since it's a custom order it'll take about 2 weeks to be ready. More information later.

[GM-Pandora]

I finally got the new computer for the server, I made the deposit over 5 weeks ago D:

It's a rackmount (2U) instead of being a tower computer, that's why it took so long, the casing had to be ordered and apparently the supplier is abysmally slow.

The server is not currently running on it mind you, it's still on the old computer for now. I'll have to set up a time for a maintenance for the transfer and the next few days are not looking like I'll have time to do that. I'll set up a test server first, and once everything is stable and working I'll put the real server on it.



For those who are wondering about the techy mumbo jumbo, here it is:

Intel Duo-Core 2 E8400 3 Ghz FSB 1333 Mhz 6 MB cache
Asus Motherboard
4 GB of memory DDRII PC 6400 (2x2Gig)
320 GB hard drive

It has 3 fans and it makes an awful lot of noise, I'm glad this baby is not staying home for long, I'll get it to a hosting facility soon enough.

2009/05/18 Updated donator list + spent list. And a few small changes to the rewards:

Change to existing rewards:

Before: For every 20$ donated, receive 1 Hat Voucher
After: For every 10$ donated, receive 1 Hat Voucher

New addition:

Added Enriched Oridecon and/or Enriched Elunium to the multiple of 100 bonus.

Added the rewards for multiple higher than 1000 since a generous donator broke that record last month, he will be getting his NPC named after him in a new upcoming quest that will be released soon.

The changes are not retro-active, meaning they do not apply to past donation.

I got us a side banner on the top200 a few weeks ago to attract more players:



I also started using Google Ads, we're recruiting big time!

Be sure to invite your friends and vote in the tops. For those who can afford it donations are always welcome as well, but for those who can't don't worry, just remember there are other ways to help the server which are useful too! ^_^

2010/09/25:

The donator pet obtained as bonus reward at $400, $700 and $1000 have been modified. From now on all Donator Pet have the same stats (copied from the monster Kasa) and they all eat the same food (Candy).

Note: Donator who, in light of this update, wish to change their current pet to a different sprite may send a request via support ticket within a month from now. Only requests made by the actual donator themselves will be accepted.

Additionally a pet has been added in the $1300 bonus reward.

Lastly, a new service has been added, the change of Allegiance of 1 gear, for people who want to transfer an item from a Light account to a Dark account or vice versa without changing the Allegiance of either accounts.
