Well as many of you know Sundren has been getting very full -- and very popular lately. The DMs are always busy, and the developers (including myself) are getting a lot of our time sucked up tinkering away in the toolset.
So here's the plan at the moment, our current server is hosted with GBX in Florida, thanks to the generous donations of many of our players over the the summer we were able to pay for a large portion of our current server. We would like to build another server which would become our primary, it would be hosted with me on a slightly faster internet connection, but the main difference being it would be in a better location (I'm not too far from Toronto on the East Coast, and especially for overseas players this would offer better latency).
So as before we look to you guys, our players to help us out. If even 200 of our active players donated $5 dollars each, that's $1000 dollars. Every little bit helps.
The other major benefit for us development wise is that the current server can be used for development and testing and won't lag players.
I would also like to thank all the people who have already donated -- some multiple times. Your support is what helps us keep doing what we do.
UPDATE: Server Specs (See donate meter on forum index)
*EDIT: Looks like the donation bar got reset from the add-on I got, there didn't seem to be anything I could do to prevent it, so I just restarted it with what we need remaining to build the server.
*EDIT2: I've ordered the motherboard, cpu, and the memory. I'll be buying the power supply here locally once the rest arrives. If we reach our donation goal I will also upgrade the internet connection to something a bit faster, and possibly buy either more memory or a RAM Drive to speed up server load times. I'll keep you guys updated.
Thanks again for all your support.
