If you want to help cover the monthly server hosting fee of the Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki, you can donate here.

Important information before you donate!

First of all:

  1. Payments go through the Ko-Fi account of Taylan, the wiki's founder and systems administrator.
  2. Taylan is hosting the wiki on a server from Hetzner Online GmbH, costing 55 EUR per month.
  3. On Taylan's Ko-Fi page, you will see a donation goal every year to cover that year's costs.
  4. Please don't send any more money after the yearly goal is reached.

Furthermore:

  1. Taylan may use the server for unrelated private projects.
  2. This generally demands less than 5% of the server's available resources.
  3. To justify this, Taylan will cover 5 EUR (about 9%) of the monthly hosting fee.

This leaves 50 EUR per month (600 per year) to be covered by the Ko-Fi donations.

Lack of anonymity of donors

Please be aware that Ko-fi donations are not anonymous:

  1. PayPal and Stripe reveal your legal name, and email address, to the recipient. You are not sending money to Ko-fi, but directly to Taylan's PayPal account, through Ko-fi's interface.
  2. If you announce on social media, Discord, etc. that you've donated, Taylan may be able to deduce who you are, by matching the time of your announcement to the receipt of the donation.
  3. If this concerns you, you can keep silent about your donation; your information will still be seen by Taylan, but it won't be obvious who it corresponds to on social media.
  4. If full anonymity is important to you, you could donate through a third party, or choose not to donate at all.

OK, I want to donate

Please don't donate if the yearly goal shown on the Ko-Fi page has already been reached:
