Latest News:
I want to thank everyone who has donated to us to help us through this tough time to keep our servers running while we work on getting everyones .oars and .iars to them for those who do not wish to stay in GCG. We have reached our goal thanks to you all, and are using it to pay for the next 2 months of servers, time paid for our new tech guy and time paid for anything new we may need built.
Some have asked why we needed the donations but its because alot don't realize that i only charged enough on tier payments to cover the costs of the servers...i made no profit from this. Therefore when tiers stopped coming in there was no money to pay for the servers to allow us time to work on getting your .iars and .oars together or to even try to save GCG. I wasn't kidding when i said i only charged enough for rent to cover the costs of the servers. So i needed your help to keep the servers going for the next two months and also to help pay for a new tech guy to see if he can save GCG.
A lot don't realize the mess that my old tech guy did or left us in. So i need to let you all know the truth of what is going to happen when we do get back online and what you can expect perhaps, and also what we may or may not have now. Because it will take time to gather everyones .oars and .iars together for those who don't want to stay in GCG now and manually give them to each individual, I can't obviously ask people to pay for tiers for land they cannot get to nor is any of this your fault so I have asked for donations to keep the GCG going yes...but also long enough to have the time to do what i need to do while tiers are not getting paid. When everyone comes back eventually which to be honest only my new tech guy knows when that will be...all tiers will be paid for up until March 1. In other words everyone will have 2 free months who own land. Jan and Feb months. You have all of you to thank for that with your donations. Also it will allow me to pay for the work my new tech guy is doing to help us get back online.
Here is the bad news....as far as i know right now talking to my new tech guy...everything we had or was able to do when it comes to the members page is gone. So I do not know what to expect myself now. All the work and progress that we have built up till now with the members page in the last 5 yrs is now gone. We may not have now things like...proposals, friends online by members page only, wallet to see where your MC money has come and gone, restart of regions by your members page...basically anything that was on that panel we had.
All of these bells and whistles that took us 5 yrs have been taken from us so now my new tech guy will need to build a whole new one for us and that will not be an overnight thing. I'm expecting probably a year. I could be wrong but he too has a rl as well and he can only do so much too.
So this is where we stand now. We will be back online but with limitations now till we rebuild GCG in time again. So those who now wish to leave because of this i will be giving them their .oars and/or .iars of course there will be export limits on those as i cant obviously give you things that weren't built or owned by you as thats against the TOS and i don't believe creators would appreciate that. But these next two months is what will be taking place.
For those who love GCG and plan on hanging in there while we rebuild again...and continue to pay their tiers then i promise you we will get there again...its just gonna take time.
Thank you everyone and again i apologize for all this but as you all know it was not my intent nor was it in my control for all this to happen but I am doing whatever i can with what i know for everyone.
