Can you imagine if the community indicates a willingness to donate, say 3k USD, that they just let it go to waste?

the money is there up for grabs, all they gotta do is copy-paste a new red server (r17) and restart time-line

no CSR staff, no moderation, no nothing required

if it takes 2 people 2 days of work to set it up, that is still 100 USD per hour, thats decent

all they need do is set up the fundraiser campaign, set the goal to XXXX USD and watch the support pour in
While I support your enthusiasm and also want to see red get the development attention it needs I think you're going about this the wrong way. There are very real and legal/contractual reasons why we cannot essentially purchase a product from rogean and Co, nor can we necessarily donate to get what we want.

What needs to be demonstrated is that there is a large and interested community of about 300 people who want a red server option that perhaps do not current play at all. That is misconception number 1, that red failed because nobody wants it. The second misconception that needs addressed is the meme that a red failed exclusively due to community toxicity and not due to developmental sabotage at worst or neglect at best.

No dialog with staff or the blue community will be productive until these can be established.

With that said I sincerely doubt we will be the a new red server, due to whatever obligations the staff has to daybreak games, at the moment the best can we do is lobby for a reboot or augmentation of the existing server.
