How much do we need to donate to fix the lag

I just hope the server can come together as a whole in shitty times like this and keep the server going, and well said Bob, can I jump on that bandwagon and stomp the piss out of this fucking guy?

People have in the past, a lot of things that make the server what it currently is is due to the community. I am sure people are willing to pitch in to keep the experience alive.

If hardware is specified and donations proceed, I'll be counting the seconds before conspiracy theorists accuse server staff of intentionally creating the problems in order to solicit money.

Not saying that the community shouldn't try and do something - but perhaps this is one of Rogean and Co's perceived limitations to resolving the issue. Otherwise, why haven't they asked for help yet?

They cant "Ask for Help", there is a legal stipulation with that concerning SOE. They can however receive donations without asking, hence there being a non-provocative donate button on the P99 home screen for the website.

If they can't ask for help, then the entire point of this thread is moot. Without a specific goal/hardware and updates on the progress, I highly doubt anything will happen.

Unless people are proposing blindly donating and "hoping" it goes to resolve the DDOS. In that case, knock yourselves out.

I'm not saying I believe that theory at all, but at this point I don't give a shit. I just want to relax and play some eq, not pull my hair out every time I realize I can't cast a spell in the middle of a fight.

"It is going to cost us x dollars to impliment y hardware. Once donation goal is reached we will have hardware installed in 2 days" etc

+1 I would throw money at this.

Can someone with some know how post a link to hardware that would fix the issue (with a price tag on it of course)?

What if we bought the equipment with donated money, and then donated the equipment?

Anyone out there have experience in this that has a clue of what it would take?
