Duuk Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I was away from my keyboard, in the time it took me to read the message, grab my wallet, open a browser, and click the link, I missed it. Obviously, you guys need to increase expenses so the donation window can stay up a little longer. Maybe add a server this month?

Sothoth Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Or people could donate less so more people get a chance. Some people on my server drop 50 bucks. I would suggest donating less, and save big donations for when it take longer than a few minutes.

justicebeliever Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 @Cipher, Can you tells us more about your Non-Profit plans? You guys are being very vague about what you are doing there...If you are going a charity route, it would be great if you polled the community to see what they most want to support so that the charity itself doesn't become any kind of stumbling block to donating...I don't see "Homecoming" as a viable charity in itself, which means you guys will be needing to donate cash to some kind of charity, which increases expenses... You've got the money to go this route now, so can please share where this non-profit is heading? Pretty Please?

Scientist Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I didn't manage to make the donation window, but did want to make a suggestion to the devs that they make their contingency fund a full month's expenses. As they saw this time, it is not hard for something unexpected (Paypal issues, changing server companies, etc.) to require an extra month's worth of fees "up front", just like when you are changing rental apartments some extra money is needed for deposits and such. I've been involved with several nonprofits, and I'm sure the IRS does not have a problem even with a nonprofit to have a months worth of expenses in the bank at any one time.

I've been involved with several nonprofits, and I'm sure the IRS does not have a problem even with a nonprofit to have a months worth of expenses in the bank at any one time. I’d normally agree, but for three factors 1. It's not a non-profit yet, and they really haven't clued us in on how that's going to work...(funding a private server for game play, will likely NOT meet any of the IRS guidelinesfor tax exempt. 2. Since what they are doing is “quasi-legal” at best, keeping income low helps them not trigger NCSoft to get involved 3. Also based one the 2 above reasons, personally i wouldn't support them collecting reserves since there is no way to ensure the game will be there the next month or that the gifts would be donated or returned if it is stopped Full transparency- i have given for 2 of the last donation windows "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr Global Handle: @JusticeBeliever ...

Abraxus Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It all depends on how long it takes to hit the goal for the month. Could be a few minutes longer, or a few minutes shorter. What was no more, is REBORN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
