DAoCUtils Updates
All,
As you all may have seen, DAoCUtils has not been updated for a while, and some of the items are out of date (though it has largely been working well, based on the stats / number of active users / templates). In tightening up some of my personal finances, I'm debating what to do with the future of the project -- I have no immediate plans, but wanted to present some options. The cost of running this is ~$150/month (this includes the server, resources, database size/usage, SSL, etc).
- I can turn the resources way down, which would really impact the speed at which the site loads / operates.
- If anyone wants to fund the project for a given period of time, I'd be happy to keep it running as is.
- I would be happy to sell the project to Broadsword directly.
- I could shut the project down entirely.
If you have any other ideas / options / thoughts, please reach out to me directly either here on on discord (Hopz#8214).
Assuming I can figure out a way to keep it running (that shouldn't be a problem), I'd be happy to add a collaborator to the project to work on keeping it up to date. It's written in Rails / Postgres and runs on Heroku. If you know that stack and are interested, please DM me on discord (Hopz#8214).
Those of you that have donated to help lower my personal cost in running this, I genuinely appreciate you, and hope this has been a useful tool for you to date -- here's to keeping it running for much, much longer!
Best,
Hopz

Thanks! I, too, want to see it continue!
In herndon,va 2 years ago so i highly doubt they pay for this. Thanks for making it. Was easily my favorite sc calc next to my old reliable korts sc calc.
I hope i am wrong but a sc calc on the herald website should have happened 5 years ago

Just to clarify, if I have to pull the plug, I will give notice + a way to download templates to extract. I won't leave y'all empty handed.
Thank you @Hopz

I did not know that it cost so much to have running.
If Broadsword have the oppotunity to run this site, i would much appreciate it, as im sure alot of players using this site will.
The updated database, and search options is simply awesome for when building a template, and the database is getting quite big, for template builds.
Lets find a way to keep having this site guys.
