As most know, Awakening is a "hobby" project (i.e. no one gets paid). It was started out of desire to bring back a fun Pre-CU server for people to enjoy and we want it to continue for many years to come!
As for our financial stability and the ability to operate long term: we are in good shape (probably better than other Pre-CU projects out there) because I personally fund the shortfalls. However, I do want the server to be self-sufficient (as does my wife) and I truly appreciate any assistance players can give. It really does help support the cost of the project (servers etc) and help the project move towards financial independence.
As a token, to show our appreciation, the Awakening staff will now start giving special forum titles for donations.
$1-10 donation - Title: Force Sensitive
$11-20 donation - Title: Initiate
$21-30 donation - Title: Padawan
$31-50 donation - Title: Jedi (Light/Dark)
$51-100 donation - Title: Jedi Knight (Light/Dark)
$101-200 donation - Title: Jedi Master (Light/Dark)
$201+ donation - Title: CUSTOM TITLE (limit 16 chars, subject to approval) The custom title and your name can be either Red or Blue.
NOTE: When you donate, please send me a message on the forums with the subject "Donation", please include the email used, transaction ID and the amount you've donated. Also, recurring donations will continue to increase your title level. For example, if you set up a Paypal recurring donation of $10/mo (less than most MMO's... hint hint), within a year you would have the Jedi Knight title.
In addition to the titles, I will be personally "grateful"!
