What are the current benefits? I am going to donate cause i love the game but what are some benefits if any
Donation profits:
Currently not specified. It will never become PayToWin or PayToPlay. The server is free and nobody is forced to pay anything.
Possible profits will include:
- Rerolling some stats or full reroll of the character (no bonus stats or anything giving advantage, just reroll),
- Unique car,
- Some items to customise your base,
- Special customised faction bases (different maps),
- Companions with custom appearance (think of Fire Gecko pet and such).
Some of these aren't ready yet, however.

Actually, all of these...So how does rerolling work? Will it factor in our support perks (if I got Awareness before the reroll, will I have to get it again afterwards)? How many rerolls does a donor get?
Sorry but re-rolling is the biggest waste of time when more pressing issues have to be addressed.
Remove that shit for the time being, honestly.

It's the main reason people donate so you could play for free, so it would be nice if you stuck to managing your own free time instead of someone else's.
Server machine is hosted on a dedicated server that costs about 50 euros per month.
I paid for the first month and also for some other things like www/forum hosting (which is different than server machine so in case of failure I can post here info of what happened etc.), domain, test server machine costs... it took some money but I don't expect you to pay for it - I could cover it.
I would be happy if people that play and like the game donated some, so we can keep current server running without problems.
Currently available donation methods:
- PayPal
- Direct money transfer via bank (for users from Poland)
PayPal link is available below (click the image):

Also, PM me with your forum account name when you are donating, it will be useful later!

That's all, I think. Have fun and thanks to all that decide to donate!
Hi. How much cost full character reroll, and base?
It's up to you how much and when you donate.
We would need to talk about the details.I'm open to discussion any time. Preferably when you're not too busy with other matters as admittedly this is not a priority request.
Its not possible when Kilgore is busy by drinking champagne and eating caviar xD
Is there a way for us to see the current state of donations?

You forgot, that he is boosting stats and spawning implants for BBS while doing it.
Is there a way for us to see the current state of donations?It's enough to pay for the server for several months right now. However, current server machine is an overkill so I've got another idea which should solve problems with hosting game server.

Hope you are joking. Right? Right?Yeah, he is.
what objects for bases/tents is thereMaybe DocAn will make some list with what's available.
It's enough to pay for the server for several months right now. However, current server machine is an overkill so I've got another idea which should solve problems with hosting game server.Why to change working server, even with server has good donators?
"Is there a way for us to see the current state of donations?"
I am willing to bet since Kilgore announced the server was covered until January, donations have dropped off.
some may say "hell, its good for months", why bother.
others may say, "why spend money on something that's free?"
others say, I wish I could but I cant.
I say I donate 6euro every month because I can, for those who cant, and myself.
I even donate for those who can but are too cheap to do so.
why?
because I love the fuck out of this game.
and that's why this game even exists.
because someone gives a fuck and makes all of this happen.
so lets show Kilgore some MONTHLY love so that he knows whether to go to a smaller server or stick with the current one and hope for more population.
more people=more donations=more folks to shoot at.
giving a day to day report on the state of donations, I think is counter productive.
being notified when donations drop to where we have 1 or 2 months left before non-respawnable death occurs, would motivate more folks to kick some change down.
just the rambling of a old man who has been reading between the lines longer than a lot of you swam from ball to ball.
:)

If I donate e.g. 10/20 Euros, you would reroll my stats like my exp & level will remain, but I can choose the S.P.E.C.I.A.L differently?Basically you replan your character in planner. You can change SPECIAL, perks, traits, skills..
The same counts for perks? Like, please, I made a mistake and would like you to exchange a life giver for dunno what?
For every donation you can choose one thing from the list, or you will get what's in the list? So reroll if wanted, pool table, etc.?
You can choose more than one option from the list.
Also, there is an option to change nickname of your character (but not for impersonating other players!). I'll add this to the first post.Finally ;D
Since DocAn has been flooded with rerolls requests, we set a minimum of 5 euros per character reroll.This is what I was waiting for, not every donator should be able get reroll.
Since DocAn has been flooded with rerolls requests, we set a minimum of 5 euros per character reroll. While other things are fast and easy, making rerolls requires more time.
All other benefits have no minimum required.

Btw. I added Reroll FAQ to the first post.
if i make donation for reroll char (A&B), so 10€ can all skill point of the 2 char can be give to only one (C) ?no, you can just put your points into some other skill on same character
Can i transfer implants to other char?
Are support perks, professions and points gained from skill books (Dean's Electronics etc) kept when you reroll?
Finally got to donate! +7 euros.Thanks
Is it possible to change gender of character ?I'm interested in this too.
Thanks to all who donated for support again. Go fund me? Hmm, isn't Paypal enough?I 'had' a paypal account, but it got hijacked. Worse, PP is refusing to reverse the charges........
I would like to donate 10 Eur but I'm from Serbia and have no access to PayPal (if it's only option I might be able to use friends account) so I was wondering is bank transfer an option ?Go find General Ivic and bring him back to his computer! :P
I donated like 5 months ago, can I get my reroll now? :DYou got your reroll 4.5 months ago!
After wipe, you will be able to do a reroll for bottle caps, as a game feature.
Just sent 50 euros. GG.
I don't expect you to buy me a bottle of whiskey, or pray for my soul, or even feel sorry about it. Just don't make my job harder and everything will be alright.
Donated.Thanks for support!
Donated!Whoa, that's quite large. Enough for ~4 months. Big thanks to this man!
Second donation submitted on behalf of The Khans.I would guess that he'll send the e-mails once the server is at least a bit more stable and bug-free.
Great work on Season 3 Dev Team!
Great to see so many faces back into Fonline.
Good fun so far, and here's to hoping dev's keep door open to new ideas and/or small updates, and my personal hope for softwipe every year or so.
Also - I encourage dev team to mass email everyone registered on this forum, and let them know about wipe! Should take 2 min and will reach thousands of fonliners. This worked well to bring back some Khan numbers, and I bet community would get big boost for little effort. If only used at wipe, this is a great feature and not email spam/abuse.
With 11,500 registered forum members, -2500 fake/duplicate accounts, and -500 active players (spread over 24 hour day), that's 8500 likely/legitimate emails. Even if only 3-5% responded that's a 250-425 player count boost.
Looking forward to Player/Dev events as well, Pre wipe invasion of hub with mutants and deathclaws was alot of fun. Going to start first Khan event of season very "soon".
P.S. will donate again if any events, and/or email blast! Thanks again Dev team; looking forward to awesome season.
Thanks guys for support.
I summed up all donations this year and it's about ~160 euros we received so far in 2017.
Hosting Reloaded (game/www/domain/etc) costs around ~25 euros per month. We've paid around ~225e already in this year, running pretty much on reserves. It was much worse before wipe but I didn't want to ask for donations before players can see actual work that was done on the game.
The game was free, is free and will be free.
We will NOT add any pay2win options, buying items/experience/whatever for money.
We will NOT add any advertisements on forum or wherever, we are not going to sell email databases or anything like that because I think it would be a horrible thing to do.
As for our plans, you know that this session is more of a test session where we want to fix as many bugs and exploits as we find. When the game becomes less bugged and exploitable, we'll start proper advertisement campaign of course, and yes massmailing forum members proved to be very successful last (and only) time we did it in 2015. Our team is actively working on the game now and we deploy minor updates with fixes every few days. More content and features will be added over time.
How much has it been in 2018, so far meister Kilgore ?Not great and not the worst, but whatever, we'll keep the game online for a while.
