Keep the Multiverse online

Every world we run is paid for by the players who love it. Donations cover the hosting, the software and the domains — never power in game — and the running total is kept in the open, right here.

The running cost, live

The goal is what it costs to keep every server online this month, taken straight from our real budget. It resets on the 1st, and the breakdown under the bar shows exactly where it goes.

The people keeping the lights on

Top supporters by total given: all time, this year and this month. Names are Multiverse account names, never the name on a payment, and anyone who gave privately stays anonymous.

Your standing

Already given? Sign in to see your total and choose whether the board shows your account name or keeps you anonymous.

Sign in

Supporters appear under their Multiverse account name. Anyone who gave privately, or whose gift isn’t tied to an account, is listed as an anonymous supporter.

Your name

Credit where you want it

Giving is public or private, your call. Either way, nothing on this page comes from your payment details.

Account names only

The board shows your Multiverse account’s display name. The name on your Ko-fi or PayPal payment is seen by the staff who keep the books, and never appears on the site.

Private stays private

Choose to give privately when you pay and your gift is listed as an anonymous supporter. It still counts toward the goal and the totals, just without a name.

Change your mind any time

Signed in, the leaderboard shows your own total and lets you switch between your account name and anonymous. The change shows up straight away.

How a gift finds your account

  • Ko-fi: pay with the same email address as your Multiverse account and the gift is credited to you automatically.
  • Different email, or PayPal: ask the staff on Discord and they will link the gift to your account.
  • No account at all: that is fine. The gift counts in full and is listed as an anonymous supporter.
How it works

From your gift to the servers

1You give

Through Ko-fi or PayPal, using the buttons on the goal card. Any amount helps, once or as often as you like.

2It is recorded

Ko-fi gifts arrive on their own the moment you pay. PayPal gifts are added to the books by the staff.

3The board moves

This month’s bar and the leaderboard catch up within a minute or so of a gift being recorded.

4The bills get paid

Donations pay the running costs listed in the breakdown on the goal card, the same budget the goal is built from.

Questions

Before you give

Do donations buy anything in game?

No. Donations are voluntary and never grant in-game power, priority or special treatment. Shards, the Multiverse Shop currency, cannot be bought with real money and are never traded for donations; they are earned by playing.

Why is my gift listed as anonymous?

Either you chose to give privately, or the gift is not tied to your account yet. Ko-fi gifts are matched to accounts by the email you paid with. If that is not your account email, ask the staff on Discord and they will link the gift for you.

Who can see my payment details?

Card and bank details go to Ko-fi or PayPal and never reach us. The name and email on a payment are visible only to the staff who keep the books. The site shows account names and totals, nothing else.

Can I get a refund?

No. As our Terms of Service say, all donations are non-refundable.

Are donations tax-deductible?

No. Donations to Malevolent Gaming are not tax-deductible.

Thank you

Every world here runs on its players

Playing, bringing a friend and reporting bugs keep the Multiverse alive too. Giving is one more way to help, and it is always optional.
