Your PoE2 server needs your help

[WhiskeySix]

Running your PoE2 server is a surprisingly expensive proposition. Running a BUNCH of servers is an order of magnitude more expensive. The mod we love, played 'The Way It's Meant To Be Played', would go offline without our financial support, and with more and more games on the horizon, resources are getting spread a little thin.

I just wanted to suggest that if you've been meaning to pitch-in and help with the monthly bills for your server, now would be a great time to take the plunge! This isn't a high-pressure sell or anything... it's more of a friendly nudge

On a personal level, for the amount of time I spend gaming here, it's well worth the money to me. I think of it this way: One night a month I buy a round of beers for my friends, and then for the rest of the month my friends pick up the tab! (well.. I suppose 7 bucks is probably just one beer at some bars... but I digress... the important thing to focus on is the beer.. errr... free beer for 29 out of 30 days a month... friends? uhhh... friends with beer! friends with beer and videogames!?! )

The funds received go towards items like domain names, forum software, advertising, servers, storage space, teamspeak, etc. No individuals or administrators receive any money for their service. Additional funds received go into a pool of funds that are utilized when new games are released and we don't have the player-base required yet to support the game.

Quite a few new games have come to market over the past few months and Tactical Gamer has dipped into this pool of funds to provide all of you the capability to play these games Tactical Gamer style. When these new games are released and supported by Tactical Gamer, there are times when other servers begin to make their way out the door. To make sure that your existing favorite game(s) or new release continues to be supported by Tactical Gamer, please consider becoming a supporting member.

To show our appreciation, Tactical Gamer does offer some additional benefits for supporting members. Here are just a few of those benefits:

1. Personal @tacticalgamer.com email address
2. Personal FTP / Web space
3. Access to members-only forums
4. Access to members-only FTP for high-speed downloads of the latest patches, mods, etc.
5. Cool new supporting member tag under your forum name
6. Additional capabilities (e.g. create channels) in Teamspeak
7. Ability to join an In-house squad (IHS)
8. Reserved slots in most of our game servers
9. Priority spot to play in TG events (scrims/tourneys)
10. Temporary administrative rights on certain game servers
11. PM inbox gets an increase to 500 messages

Supporting memberships come in multiple flavors. You can opt for the monthly ($8.95) or yearly ($80) payment options. In addition you can show additional support with our Platinum monthly ($18.95) and yearly ($225) memberships. At this time Platinum memberships do not receive any additional benefits, however the additional funds to provide for additional and more powerful servers. We offer the platinum membership options at the request of the players. Some players had inquired about a method to donate additional funds to Tactical Gamer.

The preferred payment option is paypal, however if you would like to use an alternative payment option, please contact Apophis directly. Please place "Supporting Membership" in the subject line of any PM/email.

Becoming a supporting member is not a requirement, nor does it make your opinion more important than others. Supporting memberships are one way to show your appreciation for the services offered by Tactical Gamer. Show your support to keep the lights running at Tactical Gamer!

I guess its about time to go platinum. I just found POE a few months ago, and I don't want to see it go anytime soon.

I'm considering going Platinum.. If TG were to scale back the community and the TG style of gameplay would be sorely missed. My son and I are very glad we found you guys back in Nov. 2006.

[gijoe]

you guys know i would love to help, but not having a job i just cant. Hopefully in the new year!

Even if you can't become a supporting member for some reason you can still do your part by Referring people to TG. The more people you refer, the more likely to become supporting members. To keep track of your referrals, go back to the main index page and select your name under the Current Active Users. Then just look under Forum Info for your current referral number.

Even accidentally mentioning TG to unfamiliar people could bring them in.

Well said Whiskey! I've been enjoying your server for almost two years now. It was time for me to step up. Just became a member yesterday, just waiting for it to process...

Wooot!
