We are currently running a test-environment on W3Arena. We are testing new servers on which W3Arena will probably be running in the future. This means that for 2-3 days, we will have it run in the test-environment. For now, you have to create a new account. This means that ITS POSSIBLE TO PLAY ON W3ARENA RIGHT NOW!

DO NOT WORRY! ALL other accounts and data are safely stored! They will be transferred onto the new servers when the tests are completed!

First of all, let me tell you how glad I am to see so much support from everyone to W3Arena! We really do appreciate it!

Update

Here's an update about the current situation.

We will do our best to keep the server ONLINE! But there is something we need from you to achieve it. And that's donations. We will need 120 Euro a month to keep the Chatserver/EU bots/US bots/Website running. We already saw that alot of people are eager to donate around 1-3 euro a month. Now heres the thing.

You can donate by PayPal:

BUT! PayPal does charge about 20-30 cence for each payment + another 3 procent. If you donate 1 euro; We will receive 62 cence. So, if you are going to donate, please make it count!

Another option we are thinking about, is opening a free online bank account. However, it seems there are no free accounts in The Netherlands.. So we hope to find a cheap one. Right now, we found one that costs 15 euro a month, and thats just too much.

Forum

I have opened up a new forum thread in where I update the amount of Euro's we have right now on the PayPal account. You can find the link by clicking HERE!

*PS: There is a 'Donate' button on the right side of our homepage on 'News'. Its below "Support W3Arena".

*PPS: If you'd like to share the PayPal adress for friends to donate to, its: PayPal@W3Arena.net
 

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm not in a very good mood that I have to write this news item. But it has to be done.

In some weeks for now, we will have to take W3Arena - the server, the website and the chatserver down. This is due to the fact that Pad, who runs W3Arena on the servers of his company in webhosting, has sold it to someone else. This means that everything personal of him thats located there has to be removed from it. This means, removing W3Arena.

Since neither one of us, Pad or myself, earns enough (we are both students) we will be forced to take it down. The costs per month are €120,- and we will be unable to provide them for ourselves.

We make one final attempt to write a news item about this, in order to draw attention to this matter and hopefully be able to get support and find a sponsor somehow, even if chances are small. The sponsor would have to be willing to donate around 100 to 120 euro a month for us in order to keep everything going and improving the system.

Pad sold his company since he is really overworked the last months. After some weeks this will mean he will have alot of more freetime which could possibly be spend into W3Arena. But ofcourse, we cannot put those hours in it if its not possible to host it.

Hopefully we have informed you enough, if you have any other questions, feel free to post them in a comment below. If you'd like a more private way of contacting us, you can reach me on DeathWing@W3arena.net

I'm very pleased to inform you about the fact that a very nice guy named Evilence (check his blog on http://evilence.com) has created a MAC client for the W3Arena server.

In order to download it and get started, just follow the instructions on his blog post right here: http://evilence.com/post/46761173421/w3arena-mac-client

Since we are not able to test it ourselves ( we don't own a MAC computer ) We'd like for you to spread the word to your Macintosh friends to help us try it out!

Please leave any feedback at our Technical Support forum section.
