As some of you might have noticed, the italian Quake Live server have been down for some time now. This isn't due to any technical problem but to the simple fact that the IDS clan doesn't have any more funds to pay for it.
we were trying to find the money for a new server subscription, but there were some problems internal to the italian community so basically there won't be an italian server anymore, at least in the near future. If someone could UN-major this newspost it would be great.
I am therefore here to ask if anyone in the ESR community wants to contribute to the cause, please keep in your mind that many italians (including me, sadly) have such terrible routing that can only play on their national servers, and that other nations somethimes have the best routing to Italy too (Slovenia and Croatia for instance).
The goal for the funding is 450 euros for a year of the server, and the donations will be stopped as soon as it is reached. Please also note that while the IDS clan is taking care of paying the servers this isn't something tied to the clan as much as the whole italian community. Hell, I'm not even part of that clan.
Here are some links
Paypal Donation apparently, linking paypal isn't as easy as I thought. To donate, simply click the "Donazione" button in the high part of the right column of the IDS website:
Request of donations for the server
Current state of the funding, manually updated
If you have any questions before donating I'll be happy to do my best to mediate between ESR and the IDS clan, thanks in advance and have a good quake.
