  • TW Now Accepting Donations!

    In case you have not noticed, Trenchwars.org now has a new tab for donations. With this new system now in place and fully operational you can donate your spare cash to the game that has served you faithfully for the past 14 years to help keep it alive.

    When you donate, you have the choice on how you want it to be spent. You can choose between Cash Events much like the ones FieryFire has been sponsoring. The more people donate for cash events, the more we can offer as rewards. You can also choose Advertising in which the money will be spent on well....Advertising. You could also choose to Donate to Charity. We will have a different charity featured each week. This week it is the Make-A-Wish Foundation. You could even choose your own charity, and every cent of what you donate will be sent to whichever charity you choose. If you cannot choose or do not care how your money gets spent you can choose the final option; Choose For Me.

    Each donation, no matter how small or how large will be rewarded with "Pub Bucks". There is a table providing you with the layout on what your return will be, but for those of you too lazy to check, I will post it here.

    Cash Multiplier
    $1 - 4 1000
    $5 - 9 1100
    $10 - 14 1200
    $15 - 19 1300
    $20 - 24 1400
    $25 - 29 1500
    $30 - 34 1600
    $35 - 39 1700
    $40 - 44 1800
    $45 - 49 1900
    $50 - 54 2000
    etc... Got it?

    For example, donating $5 USD would have a multiplier of 1100, therefore rewarding you with $5,500 pub bucks. A donation of $100 USD would give you a return of $300,000 pub bucks. I think you get the idea. Important: After your donation, you will be redirected to a page which contains a code that you will need to redeem to receive your pub bucks. It will be 10-15 digits long containing letters and numbers. To claim your prize, highlight that code and copy it, then proceed to Trenchwars and PM TWPub1 with !coupon <your code>. If that wasn't clear enough, do :TWPub1:!coupon JEHD672GBH89 (With your own code of course).

    Also, we have a TWD medal for the players that donate anything from $5 USD on up. That scale is as follows....

    $5 - $9 USD - Blue Medal
    $10 - $24 - Red Medal
    $25 - $49 - Green Medal
    $50 - $99 - Silver Medal
    $100 and up - Gold medal

    The amount you donate will accumulate, so you need not to donate $100 at a time to receive the gold medal. As your amount increases over time, your medal will change accordingly. These medals will appear on the TWD Website on the players profile, as well as next to their name on squad rosters, just like the TWL medals.

    There is also a list to recognize those who have given their hard earned money which can be found here: http://www.trenchwars.org/donationsoverview/ . If you do not want to be recognized for your charity you can always donate anonymously. Doing so will simply keep your name private, but you will still receive your reward of pub bucks.

    Special thanks to 24 for the conception of this idea. He will also be the man in charge of handling the funds. Should he chose to get run over by a bus or dive into a pool full of needles and kill himself, his backup will be Zazu. If you have any questions about donating to TW or anything specific regarding this new concept, feel free to find or ?message either of those players, or just talk to me in pub. You could always use ?help as well, but as your average player, I would advise against it, as you are likely not to get much of a useful response.

    Note: All transactions are handled through paypal and are 100% secure.

          I see what you did there. Well stated

          For the record though, I really had very little (nothing) to do with this. I just typed the forum post. 24 came up with the idea, zazu coded the website, and arobas integrated it all with TWD site. However I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, and all I ever play anymore is pub, so I'm around to answer questions about it if need be. I made sure to emphasize that most of staff is still useless at the end of my post. I'm actually in the loop about a few more changes coming to tw in the near future so you will probably be seeing more of me soon.

          P.S. phiz u better donate.

            Cool stuff, gives people lots of options!

            Got a question though, but what's the point of the Donate To Charity option? If I wanted to donate to a particular charity, I would just do it myself IMO - it doesn't help TW at all which I thought was the point

              Actually I integrated it all into the TWD website too, Arobas+ created the TW-Coupon bot. : ))

              And Nockm, the Donate to Charity option is there because we receive sponsorship from some kind of organization (for more details, ask FieryFire), which also supports a lot of charities. And in order to meet their expectations and support them a bit too, this option is there.
              This way your Charity donation goes straight to the charity that the organization is supporting that week, and not to some other random one you choose. At least that's what I understood from it. Makes sense?

                Makes sense to me!

                Without that explanation it seemed like a bit of a random offering

                Thanks.

                  are you fucking kidding me ?

                  this money system is bad enough but hey lets just skip the bullshit pay for extra features stage (i.e. real money for virtual money) and make TW a pay to play game ...

                  if you need donations ask in a reasonable way and have transparency of why it's needed and where the money goes too and i'm sure ppl would donate if the reasons are right. this is a load of crap and as a new user if i see a game that is in anyway "free to play but buy equipment/perks" i avoid them

                        I agree with Pressure Drop in that the 'pay to play' smell is absolutely awful - I always end up thinking "You don't get that kind of crap in Subspace, ha!"

                        However if you do see someone launch a nuclear strike for donated money, although it sucks to be killed by money and not skill - it's kinda nice that someone donated a large sum of money for that. To be honest I'm just not keen on the idea of people buying bonuses on the fly and this just makes it 'worse', but that's just me.

                        At least you can't buy items which give you a permanent boost - i.e. the true distension, now that would be awful.

                          The money system is great, but ok opinions may differ. There's no change that gets accepted without anyone objecting. You wouldn't want to know how many people went crazy when the first car was introduced in the early 1900s.

                          As for the donation system, this game is not a pay-to-play game. Not even close.
                          We are asking for donations in a reasonable way and we are explaining to whoever LISTENS that we are using it for good purposes. You can even select the purpose yourself that you want your money to go to.
                          You can earn pub money by playing, so there is no obligation for anybody to donate money. We are just rewarding the ones that DO support TrenchWars by giving them some pubcash.

                          Continuum is a free-to-play game, but you should sometimes realize that it's not a free-to-offer game. So be thankful to the people that are paying in order for you to be able to play.

                          I can image that if we'd set up this donating system you'd go crazy and cry that we are not rewarding you for it.
                          Every day people cry that the population of TW is diminishing. Yet none of the crying people is doing anything to stop this. So we take action and try to promote TrenchWars as a game, by advertizing it on the right places. Obviously mostly it's not free. So now you cry that we trying to get more people to play.

                          Instead of crying over everything we do, you should appreciate the effort some people are putting into keeping this game alive. And if you think you can do better, your help is more than welcome.

                            Thanks for everyone who has supported TW so far, we couldn't do it without your help. Anyone who wishes to support TW and can't financially afford to, can help out with TIME invested. We have plenty of people on the forum for instance, that are excellent at communicating their point. Instead of getting on here and trolling, get on a few gamer websites and promote this game! Talk to FieryFire if you want to help, that guy has really go his act together and is running this whole operation like a business. It's the most organized effort I have yet to see for promoting TW.

                            I'm extremely confident in it's success, hence I'm donating money (for the financial things advertising/cash events) and TIME which is needed if any of this is going to succeed. I hope we can make the doubters believers soon. We can all make a difference, the time is now.
