News Lawless Roleplay - help us stay alive!

Lawless Roleplay has always been a server against the odds. When we first opened our doors in 2013, everyone expected us to fail. However, we hit over 100 players and despite the numerous attacks which kept us offline for a few days, players kept on coming - they couldn't get enough. Fast forward today, Lawless Roleplay has been open for 6 years and for the past 2 years people have been claiming that Lawless Roleplay is dying, closing and failing. Yet we remain online with a striving and active player base.

I am personally going through a very rough time in real life for the past 2 years however the support and love I received from the community made me realise despite all the harsh words and arguments - you guys are a bunch of good people. I want to provide you with a safe, stable and fun community where you can unwind and enjoy your time at Lawless Roleplay.

Since the start of 2019, we closed the donation store which meant that I had to personally pay $400 a month to keep the server online. In the past few months, this has been a real struggle for me. With all the reasons above combined, I have been very demotivated to spend any time on the community and with the risk of closing down last month, I got to see so many community members step up and offer their help in keeping the server online. This melted my heart to see people who were willing to really step up to keep the server online so they and their friends can continue having fun.

As a result, I have opened the new donation store up and offering a 30% discount on all items until Sunday 25 August 2019 using coupon code "LONGLIVELRP".

Your donations are guaranteed, if we do not meet our monthly quota ($400) and are unable to pay the monthly fees, the server will be closed and you will be refunded 100% of your donation automatically. However, I believe the community won't let that happen.

If this is proven successful and the community can hold the burden of paying server bills then I will be more inclined to update the server more frequently with new features, bug fixes and adjustments.

Thank you,
Barney Phife

Hosting a 200 slot server and a website doesn't cost 400$
Better yet I'm assuming you just have a VPS which you run the server from so how do you hit 400$ per month? If you need cheaper ddos protection take a look at react.su

You are getting ripped the fuck off then dude, 400 bucks for a 500 slot server which doesn't even reach half it's potential? You should maybe try lowering it to a playerbase more suitable to the pricing and not flip the tables on the people to put the money into your pocket just to keep the server running mate.

You could even adjust the host to another part of the globe, prices vary among different countries, services and sizing. Sounds like you been doing it wrong for a while now, poor bloke.

400 for a simple server renewal for the host is hella fucking high,if you expect the adults on here that play and enjoy this game to actually believe your lies then you're out of your mind,we all love the server and we love you too,so stop lying to us,tell us what is the real price you're paying, or if its 400$ post some receipts THEN you will undoubtedly recieve more support from the percentage of the players who are actually adults and can donate @Barney

Edit: This is coming from a 2013 player that has been providing nothing but love and support to this server ever since it was opened,back when all the axes were still at lvl 1 i was here having fun
