The Honourbound Alliance currently has a professionally hosted Ventrilo voice communications server. The server is available for anyone in the Honourbound Alliance to use for raid communications, instancing, or just shooting the breeze.
We're pleased to support the highest-quality codecs possible and provide clients for both Macintosh and Windows users, giving the best possible voice communications experience for our alliance. This does, however, come at a cost. Basil (Roses of Dawn, THB Co-Coordinator) and Elsheindra (The One, THB Co-Coordinator) had been personally paying for our 25-slot communications server. An anonymous benefactor has just contributed enough to cover the past 6 months of hosting. Thank you very much, Mr. Anonymous Benefactor!
If you find our Ventrilo service useful, why not throw it $5.00 or so? Money can be paid directly to our Ventrilo hosting company DarkStar Communications to cover our current hosting costs or to allow us to expand the number of slots available (for bigger raids to Gruul's, SSC, etc, plus allow other raids/people to use it simultaneously). Donations are accepted via PayPal or Credit Card using DarkStar's ClanPay Donation System. Donate today!

How much does it cost / month to have this server??
It's about $10.00 US a month. We try to pay 6 months up front at a time, though, as that makes it cheaper and ensures services continuity. If we paid a year up front, the price would drop to about 40% of the monthly cost. That was a little too much for Basil and I to do on our own though.
ok... so 10usd / month...
That´s about 60skr / month...
60 x 12 month = 720skr..
hmm... Guess I can afford that.
Lets us have vent for a full year more...
Need to fix that when pay comes next week..
That's very generous! Thanks a lot, Dimage!
I already made a donation before seeing your second post, Dimage. You can save yourself 300skr or so.
I've just applied all the donations received to date (~80 US) to upgrade the server to 35 slots and pre-pay the next year. There wasn't quite enough to cover all that, so Basil & Elsheindra covered the remaining amount.
Thanks a lot to Kariandra (The One) and Astrakhan (Roses of Dawn) for their very generous donations that have made this possible.
