We are no longer meeting our mark!

Hi guys. Here's a quick update. I've been really busy with college. Our two devs are both struggling as well, one of which is currently in a nursing program and working 2 jobs while maintaining college AND active duty, and basically has no free time anymore. It's been hard. A few people have made ripoff stonebox servers just cause they got mad about things they either don't understand in terms of gameplay mechanics (complaining about things instead of getting better cause that struggle is a key element), or because their toxic kids that are mad they got banned. None of them have seen success but it's sadly... divided a lot of people that would regularly play this, even slightly, and it's sad to see those people go... stonebox has always been a family, and now... it's kinda too big to handle, and I'm thankful for those who stick around. You mean a lot. It's also been hard to maintain updates on Instagram and stuff. I've been so busy with life, and so it's been hard to set up a lot of the new staff we've acquired, although I plan to this weekend. Weve stayed at a consistent player base, but there's definitely been a loss of interest. Mainly due to the lack of uploads that's the biggest thing. But it's really not something I can depend on and unfortunately, my editor takes a lot longer than I would since he's new to this obviously. However we are still commited as a team to ensuring this stays growing and successful, it's just had some hiccups getting everything situated on a professional level. We're just so new to this...

However... I have some bad news. While player numbers have still stayed relatively consistent with peaks on Fridays and the weekends of course. Our income... has not. A lot of you donated around only $1, some a few more, and there were even a lot who felt a lot more generous. However rn I was shocked to see that we are now at only 88 dollars. Our server runs on a high end server because stonebox demands only the best to ensure an optimal and realistic experience (no fucking lag), and we need around 130 a month to keep it going. We were at $240 a month, and needless to say now... if we don't meet that goal. We might not be able to keep stonebox running. I've talked to the staff team and we've talked about splitting it up between all of us until we can get the editing team/spectatorfilmers up and running to ensure this process can go on mostly without me, and so it would only be like $5 from all of us... but... it's unfair to ask that of them... idk. I just wanted to let you all know and we'll see what happens but yeah... we're not meeting the qouta.
Thank you Stonebox Players

If you want to help stonebox grow, if you want to create videos or are even interested in being an official editor for the channel, contact me and we can talk about it. Like what if we had a mini series on certain players that we could upload.

Idk... but truly thank you all. If this ends, it's been a wonderful experience.
