My Idea to Keep the Server Up

They should definitely take emergency donation sooner rather than later, since average mmo player will "move on" in 2+ weeks of downtime. Some might come back but 5-6 out of 10 will find something else. With a month of downtime it gets even worse...maybe 1-3 out of 10 would come back..

At least right now morale is high and people are willing to pay to get it fixed, some are even willing to pay alot to get it done fast.

I agree. Some people will pass the time by going somewhere else... and get caught up in whatever they're doing and be gone for a couple months or more. Some won't even come back.

They'll forget why it was fun and when they come back they'll think about all the wrong things.

My Case. I just got back from a long break. I was like "Why is this fun? 1-50, simple mechanics. Why play here?" I had a lot of reasons. But once I started to make progress on my druid, I remembered why it was fun: helping others and surviving the hell of leveling with others. I'd have to say my primary reason is to enrich the homecity areas. I don't twink any of my alts. I want to be there for people when they need help.

We play here because of others. At least, that's what I think.

Since DDoS attacks are illegal and violate IP policies, internet policies etc, what about legal action? Donations could be directed for that as well. I'm serious. This person(s) is violating rules and laws and should be held accountable.

We have more resources than the hacker may think.
