    Hey, everyone!

    Do you buy stuff on Amazon?
    If you do, when you do, you should definitely do it through this link here!
    (Feel free to bookmark this link for all your online shopping needs)
    [​IMG]
    Shop Amazon - Free Shipping on Orders Over $35

    When you purchase through the above link, you help the server.
    I receive a small percentage of any sale made through the link, and only that link.
    So if you can't donate for whatever reason, but find yourself on Amazon, please remember StarboundRP.

    As of late, I've had very stressful financial issues and I'm concerned for the server.
    By no means will it ever shut down, I'll just throw the charges on credit, but things are getting uncomfortable.
    I apologize if my attempts to help alleviate the burden are invasive, I don't want to ruin anyone's experience, but I'm not sure how to deal with this situation either. Let me know if I start going too far.

    Thanks.

    Dude we have like what, 100ish players spread out on the server? If everyone donated a dollar we'd be helping out a lot. I'm gonna try see what I can do

    As soon as I acquire a paypal account I'll see to donating $25 to the server, since I've been enjoying the server for a couple months now and it hasn't cost me a cent. Figured I'd give a little something back, as much as I can anyhow. c:

    PayPal supports outside-of-paypal transactions, mostly cards, just in case ya' didn't know.
    I appreciate the sentiment!

    Bookmarking would also help a lot - so if you ever feel like browsing Amazon online, it's only a click away and helps me out bunches.

    Hmm, maybe I'll see if I can get any of my books for next quarter on amazon for a more reasonable price then the college shop. That'd be a hefty purchase to help out with. Wouldn't be the first time I got some online anyways.

    Personally I'd be okay with more advertising on the forums if that's what it took.
    I think we can all suffer a little bit of adverts so we can all keep having a blast here, but that's me.
    As far as Amazon, I've been needing a few things, think I'll pick them up soon through this. :3

    Added a temporary easy-access button to the navigation bar until our artist can get around to doing it right.

    The link changed since my affiliate ID changed. If you bookmarked, please update your bookmark.
    Thanks.
     
  15. This is the best thing ever. Every time I get something from Amazon at my door, it's like getting a present... from me ;w; (Forever alone)

    Converted the Amazon Shop into a real mechandise store. (The Amazon link still helps, people just weren't using it that much)
    Intend to add more designs and such as the possibility becomes available.

    Why does giving you money help the server?

    Donated, ad revenue, and store purchases go into server monthly costs. Donating still remains the more impactful way to support the server upkeep.

    It used to pay for the server and expansions, but now only pays for the server hosting costs. If I get enough, I may upgrade the server. If I get any more, I'd do a community poll before spending it on anything.
