The Past

The Honourbound Alliance has been blessed wth a commercially managed Ventrilo server for the last year after it became apparent that Blizzard's long-awaited in-game voice communication system was poo.

Basil and I researched and select a Ventrilo host last October and paid for the first 6 months. We renewed it for another 6 months and, with the help of some donations from Kariandra (The One) and Astarte (Roses of Dawn), upgraded it from 25 slots to 50 slots so we'd have space for 25-people raids at the same time as Karazhan runs or small groups.

The Present

Our 50-slot Ventrilo subscription will shortly expire. Paying up front for a year at a time reduces the cost to about $140 US/year, which seems fairly reasonable. We've been quite happy with the up-time and quality of the host in the last year. We need your help, though. Basil and I can't fund everything on our own (we pay for the WoWWebStats stuff too – $80 US a year – and host all the THB content).

Make Your Donation

http://clanpay.darkstarllc.com/donate.php?MzM5MTI= allows you to make a donation to our Ventrilo account via PayPal or credit card directly to DarkStar LLC, our Ventrilo provider. The money never goes through Basil or me directly. It will mention "Michelle Hoyle" as related to the account if you pay by credit card on the confirmation page. That's OK. If it says someone else, you've got the wrong URL. (-: It doesn't say anything like that when paying by PayPal, but I've tested payment by both methods from the URL and they're working correctly.

So please, if you can afford to make a $5.00 US donation, that would be great. That's less than £3.00 or 4.00€ for another year of great Ventrilo hosting for The Honourbound Alliance.

As you donate, if you drop me (Elsheindra) an in-game mail to let me know, I'll post a list of donors and update how much we've received. You can, of course, choose to remain anonymous. Just let me know.

Thanks!
