Hey everyone!

As you should be aware, starting in November, we will be switching from one single server, to multiple separate physical servers (known as channels). We're looking for people willing to sponsor these channels! The minimum amount to sponsor a channel is $30/month (although you can certainly give a higher amount if you wish).

----------
Servers:
----------

Core Server: $150/month
This server hosts the database (stores realm data, etc), hosts chat data, as well as any player data and block data. This server is responsible for connecting the multiple channels, and ensuring that data is synced across servers. This server will also be responsible for statistics, and creating backups and generating world overview maps

Channel Servers: $150/month each
Channel servers each contain three channels, each channel containing duplicate data of the MineRealm worlds. Players can join any channel to play on MineRealm. (Per channel cost is $50/channel)

Channel sponsors will get their name shown whenever a player logs in to that channel.

----------
Core server sponsor: Intelli
Channel 1 sponsor: Intelli
Channel 2 sponsor: Intelli
Channel 3 sponsor: _b3ast_
Channel 4 sponsor: Intelli
Channel 5 sponsor: Intelli
Channel 6 sponsor: Intelli

The number of available sponsor slots are listed above by the channels.

If you are interested in sponsoring a server, simply send a donation of a minimum of $50 (1 channel), and post below. However, please note that you are agreeing to fund this amount monthly, although of course you can back out at any time, you must give at least 1 month notice.

To donate, simply head over to http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=714

Thanks!

Updated: I'll be footing the costs of the main 3 servers.
If you guys want a third channel (which would be ideal), you'll need to cover the costs. (5 x $30 sponsors)

Will this mean we play on different worlds?
No, we will play on the same map, but there will be two copies of it, and they will update each other. So if you're on one channel and you break or place a block, that same block will be broken/placed on the other channel(s) as well. And if you place an item in a chest, those items will also be available on either channel.

The only difference for gameplay is that only about half of the players on the server will be on each channel. For example, say you and your neighbor are on separate channels, and your neighbor begins building something. You will see the blocks he placed appearing in the location where he placed them, but you will not see your neighbor's character. If you switch to his channel, or he switches to yours, then you will be able to see his character as usual.

I think donors should be sponsers automatically if they donated $30 or more. I believe that all the donor info is on the donating post.
