UOGuide's continued growth is dependent on being able to support itself financially. This may be a surprise to some, but running a website costs real money. Thus far UOGuide's finances have been donated by a single person. But it is becoming evident that more money needs to be raised for a faster web host and increased server capacity. Over the past few months, UOGuide's reliability and speed have greatly decreased. This is due to tens of thousands of visitors per month viewing hundreds of thousands of pages. | UOGuide's continued growth is dependent on being able to support itself financially.

UOGuide's continued growth is dependent on being able to support itself financially. This may be a surprise to some, but running a website costs real money. Thus far UOGuide's finances have been donated by a single person. But it is becoming evident that more money needs to be raised for a faster web host and increased server capacity. Over the past few months, UOGuide's reliability and speed have greatly decreased. This is due to tens of thousands of visitors per month viewing hundreds of thousands of pages.
There are a few ways in which a website can support itself. One is through placement of advertisements. Those annoying flashing graphics which sometimes include sound, the ones we all hate. It is our goal to never resort to such methods. However there still needs to be a way for UOGuide to support itself.
Direct Donations
If you wish to donate money directly to UOGuide the only method currently available is via Paypal. You do not need a Paypal account to donate, credit card donations can be made through Paypal without signing up. Click the yellow Donate button to begin.
