Well, I dont think this is very relevent to this thread. But what if you made a seperate hyperlink below the "Latest Threads" section on the left frame that allows someone to Donate money for help on creating Nation States 2, or just to make the current Nation States better. I tell you what, as pleased as I am with the game, I would donate some money, and If you would figure out some reward or something then I think that many more would also donate thier fair share as well (maybe the top 10 donaters get thier nations name in gold or something.)

No... it isn't at all relevant.

Max, the creator of this game, has said he doesn't want to accept donations. For whatever reason, that's that.

No, it's not relevant. iSplit.

When NationStates 2 is introduced, it will be a pay service.

The thing is...what do these donations go towards?

There was a suggestion at one point about donations for a new server, but the idea was nixed cos Max didn't feel he could gaurentee that any donations would help.

I think at the moment NS isn't actually costing Max anything (am I right here?), so... it'd be kinda cheeky to ask for donations for upkeep costs if there aren't any.

No, I have seen Max say that the upkeep of the game costs Max $400 bucks a month. And what is iSplit?
