Absolutely--especially if it helps to offset server costs. I've donated before for that.

Curious what you'd think of a sort of roped off, "free to enter" entry community/instance that would be akin to a shallow pool. Just enough so you understand how it works and see what it would be like, but everything else would have that pay-for barrier. You're right that there's a good benefit to putting a wall up but at the same time we're still small enough that actively discouraging people from joining might not* be wise. I absolutely have turned my nose up to websites and servers that have some kind of pretty splash page and then a "Okay pay to get in!" message. I don't even know what I'm paying for.

    Oh hey I was just about to comment that the one time I got morphine in the hospital it absolutely did not make me feel like this. It didn't feel like anything except "thank god the pain stopped, now I can rest." But it didn't make me feel good above my baseline and I was about to wonder if something was wrong with me? Now I just feel lucky.

    You know, I was actually going to ask why short hair on elderly women was so common. I had just assumed it was a remnant of their preferences from when they were younger, but I can definitely see trying to maximize thinned out hair!

    A elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests.

    First she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Walmart.

    "Walmart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Walmart?"

    "Then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week."

    Jokes aside, personally I only have two requests for when I die. I want my remains scattered around Disneyland, and I don't want to be cremated.
