Hi guys,

As you are all aware after reading the post made by Telanir we have done the who and what but not the why. This thread shall go into the why and what we were planning to do with the hopefully extra unallocated budget from the donations incurred by our actions. They are as follows:

1. To increase the amount of players on the server especially in regards to our non-peak player base. This shall be achieved by increasing our advertising vector through multiple sources, which include: buying advertising space on voting websites and getting more YouTubers interested in running series on our server.
2. As some may be aware due to the irregularity of donations we have built in a reserve of funds for bad months. This has recently been only holding while our costs are increasing in some areas (forums, DDOS protection, & a few across the board). I am wanting to regain the 3 months of buffer space in case of issues/bad months. The idea is if we receive $0 for 3 months (or something goes really bad) we will be able to keep running.
3. Lag’s the disease, meet the cure. Okay, not the cure, but more like a topical ointment to reduce the swelling and itch and you should see the size of… Anyway, back on topic, we have been looking at alleviating the server lag during war claims and other large events. We’ve come up against some difficulties with Minecraft unusual resource requirements and many of the common servers that are offered do not have enough vespene gas single threaded performance. These servers must also have enough multi-threaded performance to deal with a large amount of packets that have to be sent during war claims (at least 70x more than normal when at 300 players). Usually, by getting the better single-threaded performance, you get worse multi-threaded performance and vice-versa (usually one or the other) but we are not willing to make compromises in this area.

We would like to be sure that our players are aware and we have no reason to shroud our expenses really. I hope this explains to everyone confused or concerned what’s going on really.
 

Thank you for your time and understanding,

Tythus

yes you would get 10% off a skill reset and also the 25keys

Hi Guys,

From this moment until the 1st of January 2016 all donations will receive a one-off 25 key bonus included with every donation also we have a code "MerryKrugzmas" this will give a 10% one-off per user discount on everything.

Merry Krugsmas,

Tythus

EDIT: Some people seemed to be confused this also applies to the one off race changes and skill redistributions

This leaves only one thing to do.....
