Hello my fellow gamers.

I am a struggling website developer who is in the process of creating a brand new RPG. I am usually not a beggar, or anything of that sort. In fact, I feel quite horrible for even doing this. But I am in a very hard spot at the moment, and this is sadly my last resort.

Like I previously stated, I am currently working on a brand new RPG. The game I am working on isn't anything spectacular or extremely high-end. It is a text-based MMORPG, which will be played from a web browser. The game itself is coded in PHP, MySQL & JavaScript (with Ajax / jQuery). Just as "text-based" implies, this is NOT a graphic oriented game. Wait, don't leave! Just because it doesn't have the latest 3D graphics, doesn't mean it can't be a good game. This is something that I have done before, so I know how successful it can be. I used to own a game with these same ideas, and it was VERY popular.

I have already begun work on this new game, and it is coming along very well. Although this project is new, there has been a lot of work completed on it so far. It isn't close to being ready for beta testing yet, but I expect it to be within 2 weeks (tops). The game I had before was quite basic, and to be honest, boring (to me). A lot of the game's "content" was copy and pasted (such as the skills & quests), but players still seemed to enjoy it. This time around though, I am putting much more effort into things. I'm sure most of you have tried World of Warcraft. I'm not going to lie, that's where a lot of my inspiration comes from. Like people say though, if something works, imitate it.

Being a "text-based" game, doesn't mean there isn't any graphics involved at all. I do have fully customizable characters, which show you exactly what your "toon" looks like. When you equip a new item, it updates your character's image instantly. No, they aren't moving images, but they add a great "feel" to the game. I also have plans to integrate a full scale "map", where the players can manually move their character(s) around. This is something that wasn't in my first game, and will open a whole bunch of new options.

What do I ask of you? As I said before, I am currently in a rough point in my life. All that I ask, is for a simple donation to help get this project off the ground. I don't expect anybody to donate $100, just whatever you can spare. Even $1 will help me out, every little bit counts. Your donations aren't done unappreciated either. Everybody who donates (no matter the amount), will receive in-game "rewards" when it goes live. I will definitely make your reward worth the amount you donate. I will keep in contact with every donator via the email (PayPal account) they donate from.

Again, this is not something I would normally do. I hope that if you have a dollar or two to spare, you can help me out. Your donations are very much appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read my message.
