Description

I need to come up with a way to cover the hosting and other costs and make the site self-sustainable. In addition to paid premium account upgrades and premium in-game currency only other potential source of income are donations. As of today, no money was generated from Premium features and only about $50 or so from donations from players. I'm afraid I will be forced to place ads on the website if things stay the same.

For details about donations, you can check the Donations page on https://global-collapse.com/info/support or see this comment I made on another issue:
