i4games have not said "You must pay to play". They ASK if you can to donate to help keep it free and keep the servers alive.
They need the money for the bills... The servers, and to give us much more. Else i4games will end up going down the hoffing drain...
Just think about it!
If they loose money all the time and have no income what do you think will happen?
Good Night. |
IF you cannot afford to run a sever then you call it a day . Yes we all like i4g but at the end of the day ut99 is an old game

I think noone is against donates here. At least I believe its an unlucky expression: What you read is, you get 15 hours a week playing for free, if you wanna play more you got to pay. Its just the words that do it. Sounds like "play more - pay more". Thats what most of the complaining ppl may dislike.
If you really think about it, it would not work for a long time without donations and who cant understand that somebody _has_ to pay (it has been you admins until now) is here in the wrong place. Nothing is for free, nowhere in the world (anymore) but if you can split the costs in so many pieces (community is huge), for each of us it is a smal donation... Its just a big change, from one day to another, but I think it is the right way.
Keep cool ppl, give it some time, like everything new this has to be checked out and adjusted a few times. Think about it.

I have donated a little amount myself, but i don't think i'm a Mug in anyway.
It's not compulsary to pay donations neither has it been said.
I don't agree entirely on peoples limitations on the servers if they cannot afford it, or it's not possible. 
Having said that the time limit is just a starting point and i hope it will be lengthened soon. 
Let's not start falling out, over something that seems to be necessary to keep I4Games afloat. 
I'd miss it terribly.

Since that seems valid, let's all stop buying games and software, we all already paid for our computers anyway! And why stop there, since we pay for electricity why pay for a computer! *cough*
I'll be donating because it's i4Games, the playing time is more than enough for me to play on the servers anyway.
If you see i4Games as 'just' a server missy, that's fine. Some of us see more than 'just' a website and 'just' some dedicated UT servers. Observative people will see dedication to players and to a game that should be dead by some standards, but is still very much alive. I4Games has been running for like 3 years now, building a community. And number of registrations can show it has been kind of succesful.
i4Games has been supporting a community thus far, maybe some of us can now give a little something back to i4Games now, as a community.

This will be my preferred way of donating too, since I don't have a creditcard.

yes VTe, you made a very very clear point, and soooo true it is.
Since I stopped playing UT for a year, the only thing that got be back (and i mean BACK) was i4games/ Respect to that, for ruining my social life again, and I'd be gladly giving something in return for all that I got from i4g.
Payment is on its way, however ... gonna wait till I can do a bank transfer. Should be easy, since I live in Belgium
I4games forever !!!
by the way ... Only 15 players played more than 15 hours in april, which is already 10 days. So 15 hours a week should be more than sufficient to play for free.
