Monthly Donations (if you can afford it)

[Geras]

Hi all,

I hope this doesn't come across as too crass, but I thought I'd plug the monthly donation option on the website, and explain why I recently decided to set up a monthly donation for myself.

Given the number of ours I've put into this game (7,669 to date), I figured kicking in a few cents for every hour of enjoyment I get out of the game as a thank you would only be fair. The benefit I see from TI having a stead source of income is threefold:

• it will help offset the costs of keeping the game up and running
• It will provide some modest compensation to Az for all the time he puts into the game. <3
• It will provide a source of funds to run ad campaigns to attract new players

I don't want to make anyone feel bad for *not* donating, just thought I'd put this out there.

Has anyone gotten the monthly recurring donation option to work? Whenever I check the box to make my donation monthly, it errors out during processing -- says something about it being a problem on Paypal's end and to try again in a couple of hours (I've been trying since Saturday with no luck). When I leave the box unchecked, my payment goes through.

I went to the paypal website to look for this option directly through their interface and couldn't find it. A disabled/removed feature, maybe? Or has someone gotten it to work?

You're making me wonder if I accidentally unticked the box. Any idea on how to tell if something is monthly in paypal?

The monthly option works now!

On behalf of TI Staff, thank you for those who are setting this up.

If only it would actually work.

*chuckle* That does seem to be a barrier, yes.
