So, some of you might be wondering "Hey I thought a new website was coming?" Well, one still might but the previous promise unfortunately has been broken. Its a very long story and Im not going to get into it here on the website. I am still hopeful it will get finished but in the meantime I have managed to patch a few things on this site to at least have it running. A few pieces of the guild pages are broken because of new versions php but MASS upgrades are just beyond my very limited knowledge of programming.
So the site is currently limping along while I try and look for a possible new programming team to create a new version.
It's not a cheap affair and even the smallest version of the site I proposed to some potential people out there was still very expensive for a website that generates ZERO income. I've never put ads on the website and I never will. But, that brings us to the inevitable discussion about how this website keeps running. Well it's 100% out of pocket and with how the website is constantly pulling data from Daybreak Games servers it churns out quite a bit of bandwidth even for being just text. The way the website is currently built, it rebuilds 100% of the database of progression every 20 mins or so. That's a lot of data over the course of a month.
So, I am reaching out to the community and asking for help to improve this website. I have a created a paypal.me link ( https://paypal.me/eqraiders ) for anyone willing to assist in helping pool some funds together and get the website upgraded to something we all deserve. A website with a more modern ranking system, updated appearance, better interface, more features...ect.
I appreciate any one who is able to donate and if you are not able to donate thats ok as well. It's been a hard past year for all of us and going forward I wish everyone in the EQ2 community the very best.
Take Care,
Praetorian
