With the announcement of TZ-AC staying alive there is no urgent need to donate or pay to chaplja but would you pay for a premium account to use some extra features and to help him updating on a regular basis?
Clown: Probably, depends how active ET is.
R0SS: I would personally pay whether a premium account was obtained or not. I appreciate the effort that he has put into TZAC and it is a fantastic anti-cheat. Something much needed for the game and community. I am just a bit skeptical with his history of coding cheats etc. that he will just disappear after the donations and we are left with nothing.
saKen: Unlikely!
twidi: Yes, I would be ready to pay a small amount of money to keep TZAC going on and updated regulary.
Merlinator: Probably not, but mainly as I don't play ET much at all - personally I think there should be more of a team behind TZAC as well, maybe not to do the main stuff but the areas in which need time rather then skill (IE chaplja's) Im sure there are some people who would want to help out from time to time.
urtier: Yes, absolutely. The game itself is already free and I wouldn't mind spending 10-20€ per year on the game to play it and have an updated AC. In cooperation with ETLive there could be other options of gathering money though (adds, refs, premium you name it)!
ag0n: Depends. Chaplja did a hell of a work for us over the last 2+ years (let's not forgot his dark times where he used to code cheats to kill ET), but after all this "goes down", "stays alive", "goes down", "want money", i don't really trust this anymore. So the thing is, i would pay a decent amount of money (let's say 2.5€/year?), and expect everyone else to do the same, to keep this anti cheat alive, as long as there is some contract behind it to ensure the service stays alive for the period we paid, with atleast 1 update per week? Perhaps not so often..
Domi: I wouldn't mind paying 20€ for a premium account to use some extra features or for the reason that we would get regular updates.
fumble: Depends
biggz: Yes, I have never been shy of donating/spending money on community projects for ET. People deserve to be recognised, rewarded and have the full backing of the community when they put that amount of time and effort into a project for the community.
FiLuS: I am not really fond of paying for something for completely free game. If I needed to pay for premium account, I simply would not, I don't need any additional feature from AC. If it was keeping TZAC alive (e.g. for renting servers), I wouldn't have any problems donating some "pocket" money. Like paying 5 euros a year is not much and it's certainly disposable amount for me. However, I would highly prefer other payment methods (paypal for example) over pay-by-sms (at least that's what I read in some of chapljas posts).
kReSti: I dont know if i would donate for features since i hate this kind of "money drama"... i hope the features wont give the players some advantage like in some other games where you are able to play with another weapon who 1shots you and you play with a pistol :*D.... too be honest i will just wait and see what turns out of that feature.. may i gonna donate just to help him :)
t4Mj: From my view as Cheat&Abuse assistant I see this like mandatory. Besides that, I don't see any bigger problem to pay few euros to keep this alive. If i will be asked for help with something, of course i will be helping in case I got the time for it!

Still reading the ideas, hope they are worth to ETL devs.
its gonna be waste of time for the coders, idk why noone says it loud anywhere
We will take all opinions into account and hope to integrate most of the suggested features in the second alpha/beta.
We will set up a forum soon where you guys can discuss the current and posible features.
it would be interesting to make a research about number of active players. i think this is important for the future.
also i dont know why some people compares ET to old shit games. you need to beat the good ones, not half dead corpses : p
I really do wish that they come through with the ETlive project.
Surprised no one said bring back CF3!
