Perhaps an option would be to start the Donation Process on the 2nd to last Saturday of each Month, giving a larger window to collect the necessary funds before bills would start coming due. It would also allow those with limited budgets 2 pay days from which to donate.
Agreed. I would donate more if I could have two paydays before the bill is due.-

Thank you Devs and Volunteers. Your efforts allow me to do Roguey things like kidnap scruffy NPCs right in front of Desdemona's face.

My understanding is that the servers are virtual rather than physical, so even running with Everlasting alone at the expense of other servers would not make a big difference. Correct me if I am wrong.
No no, Everlasting is a "realm" not a server.
Once again I have donated to ensure a Rogue's work continues, especially when Desdemona needs her butt saved because she can't do anything right.
We also need to spread the word better about the donation window, maybe even open it a week earlier since people need more time to donate for financial reasons.

I am honestly a little surprised how long it has taken to meet the donation target. I remember a time when it would complete in 30 minutes, or less. Here we are a little over two days later, and still at 89%. I know that gives folks who normally miss the window, a chance they haven't had much, up 'till now. But, I do wonder if it is a communication issue, a membership issue, or just a reluctance to donate any longer.
I noticed that too but I think (and this is just my opinion) it's because people are feeling the pinch from skyrocketing inflation. My weekly grocery shopping bill went up $20 Canadian since January so it costs me $80 more every month just to buy food. My landlady raised my rent to cover her rising costs as well. I can see how people might not have the money to donate since their disposable income is shrinking. I don't buy new games when they come out any more: I either wait until the price drops or purchase games from independent developers on Steam. -

I checked a couple weeks ago; it looks like Paypal and credit card fees are roughly equivalent. Theoretically, we could mail them paper checks, but I don't think they'd want to broadcast a mailing address... unless HC got a PO box, of course.
It would be nice to have many methods of payment for those who don't have Paypal or are uncomfortable using credit cards.-

Is there a way to donate to avoid the paypal fees?
There should be a credit card option. I am not sure if that would help?

Doing my donatory part to support my kidnappery and thievery ways, but clowns still hurt.

Stealing and kidnapping is fun. That's why I donate every month. 😛

Once again I have donated to ensure the art of roguery continues to thrive.
Hmmm, does that word "roguery" even exist? Well, I know for I told me so!

Once again, I've donated to ensure I continue those activities that make the big guy happy.
As in the really, REALLY big guy.

Donated a day or two ago, thought it'd be filled by now.
I understand Memorial Day is a big holiday in the US (I'm Canadian so I don't know too much about it), so people go away for a bit. It will pick up around Tuesday once everyone has returned.

Once more I have donated to make robbing banks, kidnapping rich people, and black market trading great again.

Again, I donated to ensure stealing and kidnapping remain "a thing".
An example of give and take. (rimshots)-

Once again, I have donated to ensure robberies, kidnappings, and villainous monologuing continue.
Oh, and to have statues made in my likeness....

The donation window opened fairly late this time around. Perhaps the admin should send an additional reminder (if not already done) that players can still donate.
Edit: or not.....never mind. 😏

I have donated, so Roguery can continue.

Thanks for clarifying
But nobody calls out all the other rescues (there are many males) which are equally annoying.
If a rescue mission was easy, it probably isn't a rescue and the mechanics of rescues in this game are "do any mission but you can't exit quickly because you have to lead somebody to the door and they are slow"
Nobody treats the missing fortune teller in the same way because she gives a badge that is a requirement.
That's all I'm saying.
Aaron Thiery is my Vigilante alts' favourite annoying person to "off" for so many reasons. Self-righteous, smug little know it all who is the personification of that saying "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions". Never liked him from the first mission forward because of his cold analytical reasoning of what heroes must do, not why they do it. Maybe it's my Everlasting server upbringing but I'ved Ouroboros-ed that arc so many times, and not just because of the merits.

He's certainly in my top five as well.

No?
I find the tone of this basic premise unfunny and concerning. Metaphorically feeding a woman to the sharks simply because she is somehow annoying in her efficiency and manner. Whilst I don't particularly like how she is portrayed - officious and pompous - it seems to imply that violence against women (which is a very real problem both in and out of gaming) is permissible and funny. It isn't and I wanted to make the point that this post seems to reinforce attitudes that think it's ok.
I want to make it clear that my post had nothing to do with that.
As pointed out by others, rescues (or in the case of my redsider capers, hostage taking) tend to be frustrating undertakings. After all, who hasn't been in a situation where Lady Jane or that Vanguard soldier suddenly bolts off to attack everything only to die and cause a fail of the mission?
If you took offence, I meant none on that, or even make that the message of my OP. Dora The Death Doll is a redsider alt modelled after a Skull, and it was meant to be an attempt at dark humour, but that's all it was. Nothing "ok" was intended, and this is coming from someone who plays redside nearly all the time.
I hope this clarifies everything.-

I donated 30 dollars this month. I'm happy to help when I can. I just need to ask a question for my own records. I will receive a notice from my next bank statement or in the near future that I donated to you guys? This is just for my records. Glad this game exists at all.
Sorry for the late reply. I get both an Email and a line item on my bank statement about my donation.

Donated so more banks will be robbed, more citizens will be kidnapped, and more times Numina will scream, "Nooooooooooooo!" after I defeat her.
Redside is Bestside.

Hi.
I thought the Donations window was supposed to happen yesterday but I didn't see any announcement in game about that. Did I miss it?
EDIT: It started today.
