Ads on the wiki

as far as numbers go, maybe there could be a way to setup a pay pal account, and have us users donate. everyone would have access to see how much is getting put into the account, and where it is going. Ive seen sites with donation 'Gauges' saying this is our goal.

secondly, since know you don't have numbers as of yet. these are the numbers i would be mostly concerned with.

1. How much per month (if it apply s)

2. How much per year (if it apply s)

3. Who is HOST?

4. How long is "wiki.mabinogiworld.com" owned for?

5. What exactly would we be donating to/for?

i only bring these questions up as for what nexon does not do. and tell its players exactly what they are working on and why? lol I'm sure everyone hates that part. for now we all know that wiki may need funds. but isn't this part of 'mabinogiworld' which has its own hosting and already has a donation center[1]?

again if there is confusion. wiki is just a "SUB" domain of mabinogi world as it implies in the title bar. so I'm just asking the questions of who/what/when/where/why/how? not necessarily all of them but some of the more important ones?

We actually do have a PayPal account! There's a green-background link on the wiki navigation. There's a gauge on the link, but it's kind of ugly (and out of date, since we don't know the real numbers). The wiki and mabinogiworld forums are hosted on the same server, so there will always only be one donation box. Hopefully we can be transparent about cash flow if that's the way we go!

I love the idea of a gauge stating your goal for the month. I'm willing to pay $5/month for this wiki service, as I can't imagine playing the game without wiki. Not much more, though, since I am trying to keep my mabinogi game expenses to under $50/month. Premium service, nao soul stones, dyes, the odd pet or character card: it all adds up.

If this isn't enough, then advertisements will be necessary. These ads must be family friendly, as the only reason I play this game so much is because I don't have to worry about the content disturbing my kids. Yes, my kids are that sensitive. As it is, I get weekly questions about whether zombies are real and can they sleep with me tonight because they are scared. *pulls hair out*
