If you guys accepted bitcoin (even if you are immediately converting into local currency) you could save a lot of money on fees.

As we have said before, if and when PayPal accept Bitcoins, we will be able to use them here. Not before.

How come the bank fees are so high?! Seems like a waste of money that could be used for the project.

Requiring less donations to sustain the project.

Requiring less donations to sustain the project.

We would use it for the project by not using it at all, so it would have no effect whatsoever? I guess we can take it under advisement.

Based on the bank the fees are probably higher for corporate accounts (assuming the project is under a business account).

IIRC that includes the NPO fees, accountant fees and all the other administrative fees.

Could be, ill have to check.

EDIT:

Seems that its K&H Bank = 1,540.00 not 15.40

Its just a mistype, but a huge error as far as accounting is concerned. Thank god I am not an accountant nor am i taking care of the finances.

almost looks to me like a typo in the K&H Bank entry (since the 15.40 charge doesn't fall in line with the other months)

Why the K&H Bank have such different numbers in every month?

Vlada

Depends on what we pay, lawyer fees, accounting, NPO fees/costs. Some we pay every month, others when its necessary.

Have you thought about using AWS to host your servers?

Based on some of the server costs, it would probably be less expensive to utilize AWS infrastructure to hold all of your equipment.

Depending greatly on what kind of server utilization is used, you can easily expand using AWS to incur less costs during non-peek hours and other times.

I don't know if you guys looked into this, but many businesses (small and large) already utilize the infrastructure because it is the cheapest and most reliable on the market.

Since it utilizes cloud computing, you can purchase instances (VM) for a year ahead of time, or half up-front to easily reduce costs.

Just a thought, since I enjoyed playing your game so greatly and I hope you guys are able to get to 1.0 as soon as possible. Hopefully this project gets new light with new the star wars movie that just came out :)

Just wanted to say I'm super happy to be here!
Going to donate more asap, but I'll agree, I do IT and some of those fees are on the higher side.

Otherwise I'm telling everyone I know and passing it around, nice to see a decent population going.
Would be great to have a graphics update eventually, but quite happy to see Pre-CU going on :D


Thanks everyone for what you do, it means A LOT!!!

Softlayer prices went down for us a couple of months ago, so we adjusted the goal.

Do we have a current financial status report? Couldnt locate one if there is. Back in the game now, donating and really enjoying all your work on the game. Back to pre-CU brings back great memories of the early days. Think it was like day 2 when i got into the game ...had my collectors edition goggles and all :o
