I would if mental woudl allow ragezone mir 2 to return :)
i think Gohan was the one to say it, im not sure, correct me please
Most of us (or maybe the smaller part of us) is under a "legal" age to have a credit card / bank account and what-not.Parents dont give us money to sign up to some game, never the less allow us to give money to some dude on some forum.
My point there.
i dont care im a l33cher and should shot myself...tbh
im a leecher, i only post on forum now and again, not gonna pay to post on a forum -_-
If I had a Credit Card I would donate, simple. I'll Donate in November when Im 18
Don't have a credit card/money so i can't >_<
i would i rz forums where like when they were in the begining.....when mir2 was up and i only have 50cents on my account atm >.< lol
I was thinking of several ways to tackle this topic, and really it's pretty difficult or very easy.
The thing is, I love RZ. I've said this a million times. I've donated in the past *a whopping $20* to get mir2 back up; it did go back up but not because of the "2?" donations it got. Alas, this is not the same circumstance.
I don't consider myself a leecher. I come here to chat with some really cool people. I don't come here to take; in fact, I feel that I give back somewhat in knowledge or just in general humor. I know Adel wasn't pointing fingers at me, or anyone in general, but tbh, who here on what I like to call the "heart" of RZ (the Others sections, particuarly ex-rz mir2 players) leeches from RZ? We come to talk to each other, to laugh, to flame; to just be friends :) (as much as you can be online, of course).
I would like RZ to succeed and move on and prosper. But what's the direction of RZ? Most people (ok, maybe not most anymore, but a good amount especially in the past) came to RZ to play Mir2. There hasn't been a Mir2 in what, a year? So many of those people just come here to chat, not to do much of anything else. That's why people say "why should I donate?"; not that they don't want RZ to live on but in many peoples minds donating money to something thats just their means of online communication (ONE of their means) doesn't make sense.
If the issue was bandwith I would easily point to the MU board, but of course that's not the issue. If anything, a post should be there for people to donate as they make up 90% of RZ right now. Why's that? Because many of the people that used to go here frequently have no need for it, because there is nothing for them here. Because, like it or not, redudant as it sounds, people in this section at least, for the most part, played mir2 and w/o it they don't really need RZ.
Now this isn't saying Mir2 would make people donate, either. Because, that didn't work either :P Obviously, people just either don't have enough money to give away, don't have the credit card to help, or just don't see why something on the internet, ESPECIALLY a forum, should have a cost.
I mean, this is the generation of people that download $10 games ffs.. Doesn't make the person a bad guy but the mentality is if its out there for free, get it! And when there's a price attatched it gets very tricky..
So what's my point? Well, I think people don't know why they should donate. Because all we, at least in this area of RZ, see is MU, in which many don't even like. And if not MU, it's another MMORPG, which if you look hard enough you can find other forums for out there. People don't like paying for things, simple as that tbh..
Don't hate me, just throwing my 2 cents in.
I love what Mental has done, making something out of nothing. Not many people out there could make a forum and have it running for so long at such a young age, and have people visit it time and again. Hats off for a great job, too bad I got here on what seems to be the last legs. Though I can't believe that, because what you (Mental) made, along with everyone here, is great, and good days and good memories won't be forgotten so easily.
the problem is that they would just become memories and only memories i wanna have from rz is when mir2 was up and 1 other personal thing wich is none of your bussines :chair:
wheres the dont have a credit card or debit card Poll Option

hmm why do sum ppl need a cc to donate, www.splashplastic.com, order a free card and u can top it up at a shop. age 14+
splash is UK only, no?
My friends and i have credit cards but we live in a part of asia where we can't use paypal. we can use western union but they take a big percentage off any amount to be sent
Im just kinda wondering what Mental does with the money he does get.. I mean.. It cant cost so much more there than here and with the traffic of this site Id say that a 10Mbit connection and a 1Ghz with 512 ram and then a 20gig drive would be more than sufficient.. and a 10Mbit connection here costs like.. $30/month.. Thats all the maintence costs.. sure then we have the thing of the server itself but a lowend computer could handle a forum easy so not a really huge amount there.. Im kinda curious.. How much DOES mental get from donations? I find it very hard to believe that a forum with over 40k members doesnt donate atleast that much each month.. I dont donate sicne frankly.. it's not worth it to me.. I prob would have donated had I stayed with Mu online but a mail from Webzen put a stop to that... Besides that it's a nice forum and all but really.. theres nothing that really makes ragezone any better than alot of other forums..
Lol, 576k Connection Here Cost's $45+ Per Month.
RageZone Uses Nearly 50GB A Month Bandwidth, Last Time I Talked About It With Dan.
PS: I Donated
ok
1 thing why did u all come to rz? :P
me was mir2
I came here for Mu server ^_^
Right now Im staying mostly cz of another place to chat at
same reason for me :DQuote:
