IT'S BILL TIME

by Hazed

I have in my hand a piece of paper. It's the latest bill from the data center which houses the Fed2 computer. They want some money from us to pay that bill, which covers not only running the computer but also the network connection that mean you can log on to Fed via the internet.

That means it's time for me to ask... plead... beg... for some money from you, the players.

The fact is that although Fed2 usage is well up right now, with a peak of well over 100 players on at the busiest times, that has not translated into an increase in money coming in. I don't know, maybe it's all alts. Maybe there is only one real Fed player and everyone else is his/her/its alt. Maybe you are all imaginary and everything is happening inside my head.

Fed2 is free and none of you has to pay us anything, ever, to enjoy the game: but if you all take us up on that offer, we won't be able to survive. We rely on some of you buying slithy toves, enough to bring in the money needed to pay our monthly bills. You can be pragmatic and buy slithies because they can get you good stuff in the game, like the navcomp which I personally consider absolutely indispensable to anyone who flies around Sol, or you can be generous and buy slithies as a way of donating money towards the running of the game.

Whatever your motive, please just buy some, either as a one-off purchase or by taking out a monthly sub. You can do both here.

Thank you.
