Hephos is on a distinguished road
All i can say to this is...



Yes, we do accept donations, and we do sell merchandise with our theme pictures or logos. Currently all "profit" goes into the server upkeep costs. We have atm enough to last for a couple months.

Our "real" game is also currently in development closed to public (which is based on java code). With its own client, editor and server engine. It will be a commercial pay2play mud. It has NOTHING to do with diku, and we will be happy to prove it to anyone that wanna dig their nose deeper.

Up until then we run our old diku based mud. And we accept donations, which is not against their license. In fact, they encourage getting donations off the game (when you don't give in-game benefts for accepting them).

Larger donations will also give players free premiun subscriptions in our new game, possibly for lifetime.

Have fun out there!

Ps. We haven't made any "profit" off our cafeshop merchandise yet, but might in the future.

If you run a mud, and have some nice logos or theme pictures, why not open up a shop of your own, maybe get some nice advertisement from people wearing YOUR MUD t-shirt, and a small income for the server upkeep costs.
