Hey how much money does it cost to run this game and all the graphics in it. I mean i  love this game but it has to have its cost i was just wondering

Did I ever say that I answer every question??  Uh, I guess I did  :-[ 

1. I had to buy the computer. It's almost normal middle-class PC, with some fancy extra hardware. I don't remember exactly, but it costed something between $650 - $700
2. I pay $60 monthly for internet connection. If the server makes too much traffic, the fee increases.
3. It also costed me INCREDIBLE amount of my time (and my nerves)
4. You mentioned graphics. The graphics is either self-made, donated or "borrowed". Of courser I'm trying hard to replace "borrowed" graphics with original. It would be cool to be able to hire some professional graphician/designer, but currently I don't feel like it.

Originally it was all meant just as cyberwars remake. As you can see, recently I'm trying to make something like "game site", with more games. I hope that many people will play the games here. In case the site succeeds to attract more people, I will try to get some decent ads here, which should hopefully cover my costs (would be really good)

Thank you. I guess that the best way to help, is to somehow promote / advertise this site. To let the people know about it. The games need people to play them.
The problem is, that I'm not really sure how should be this promotion done.

The exiled dragons are the best, what with their hoarding and killing of other dragons.
