Last night’s public announcement that the City of Heroes Homecoming team was changing its stance on donations and felt “comfortable” accepting them now after previously warning that public donation drives might jeopardize the overall rogue server effort was big news – surpassed only by the fact that its donation target of more than $6000 was met in less than 20 minutes by a community clearly hungry for these servers and more than willing to pay for them, even if NCsoft remains mum on the subject.
Naturally, we wonder where our community stands on donating to these servers. I don’t feel comfortable telling folks to chip in without having NCsoft’s position on the record, and I wouldn’t do it myself either. But clearly a whole lotta people don’t care about those proprieties.
Let’s take it to a Leaderboard poll, shall we? Would you donate for a City of Heroes rogue server, and under what circumstances? You get multiple votes since some of these options aren’t mutually exclusive!
