September 2025 Donations & Finances

[Cipher]

Hello everyone!

 

As always with these posts, I’d like to drop a quick reminder that there are more ways to support Homecoming than just through donations. For a general overview of the different ways you can help Homecoming, check out this thread.

Homecoming operates in a non-profit capacity* and accepts donations from the community each month to cover its operating expenses. These donation windows typically open on the last Saturday of each month, around 13:00 EST, and are automatically closed once the goal for the month has been reached. Any funds remaining at the end of each month are put towards our expenses for the following month. In the event that our expenses exceed our estimated costs for the month, the difference will be included in the donation goal for the following month.

 

If you wish to donate, you may do so here. The donation window for next month is open as of the time of this post and will automatically close once the goal is met. Thank you for your continued support!

 

* Homecoming is a Delaware registered Limited Liability Company, not a non-profit organization, and donations made to Homecoming are not tax deductible.

For once I had some money and I was on time!  Donation (at an obscene exchange rate) done and accepted!

Hey, is everything in that thread still correct?  It's half a decade old, and I can't tell if it's all still relevant.

It was published not long after Homecoming went live, in 2019.  But, the information is still factual, and relevant.

Missed it this time it seems, and I blame 3 consecutive Task Forces, totally lost track of time...... 😊

Oh well, will get in next month, thank you everyone for keeping our city alive!

 

See you in-game!

To everyone that donates:

 

THANK YOU!!!!  I know we all benefit from being able to play the game, but this silly game really means a lot to me. I came back here when I found out that the game was back online. While I am NOW aware that it has been around for years, I did not ever expect it to be playable again (I, like many others, was left out in the cold after NC Soft terminated operation of the servers on Nov. 30th, 2012). I looked for any information about the game for years and never found anything other than memories before I gave up. I just happened to be talking to a friend about how great this game was when I went to google to find general info about it to show him. It was then that I saw that not only had it come back, but had done so LEGALLY (all the I's dotted and T's crossed). I couldn't have been more elated to find it! Last year , August 28th, 2024 I came back home, to my REAL home, Paragon City. After 12 loooong years in exile, I resurrected many of my best friends (and created some new ones, too) and we went back to the task of helping make Paragon safe for it's citizenry once again. 

 

I know that we all donate for our own reasons, but I, for one, am damn glad that so many others share my passion for this game. So, as I said to begin with, THANK YOU for your participation!!! (BTW, I have played about 352-353 of 365 days in the last year, so... yeah)

 

Sincerely and respectfully, your friend,
