@Etjen RE server costs

Can you look into it please?

How is it possible that a website that has max 600 daily users has server costs of  1100€??


only one week left of february and we are still far away from covering the costs.

There needs to be a solution, delete old accounts, only allow chatting forums in a section where threads get deleted every few months, find a more efficient way to store data, etc.

i dont think were as far from covering the server cost as it looks like considering the first two days of mcw were in january, and added to the january earnings (making it reach 100%, but etjen said had already been sorted out in his update) and the confirmed tier sales counted by open wds, minus admins and designers, adds up to well above 800 e without accounting for closed wds
plus the german server costs are less than half of ours, which theyve covered w a very good margin assuming my questionable mathing is correct,, but yes it's obviously not good lol maybe we need to sink the dutch server

I'd be ok with that
though in all honesty, I would also be ok with migrating over to EN if that was the last available option, but I doubt many of the German server would actively follow

Dutch server only reached 27% of the 1000€ server costs, the gsm reopening has hit the dutch server really hard

the german server, despite it's tiny population seems to be carrying us all recently, so that would be a rather unreasonable request
but yea.. i cant imagine enough people would be willing to start over completely on a new server for it to be worth it

On the frontpage you find a menu on the right. It's under 'game statistics'

especially considering how most of them have been paying A LOT to get all the credit sets, sometimes even doubles to gift to friends

would explain it, maybe he just does a few 'improvements' that are cheap like implementing decades old games like pac man and just squeezes vp like oranges till he made a profit on his investment and then sells again (or just goes offline)
