“Toad Explode” Guild

An appeal from Toad Explode founder, Fairfax

Dear Reader,

Today I am going to ask you to support Toad Explode with a donation. This might sound unusual: Why does one of the world's five most popular web properties ask for financial support from its raiders?

Toad Explode is built differently from almost every other top 50 website. We have a small number of guild officers, just twenty-three. Toad Explode content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Toad Explode is run by the non-profit Toad Explode Foundation, which I founded in 2003.

At its core, Toad Explode is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers - all dedicated to killing bosses. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million purps on 265 servers. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.

But Toad Explode is more than a guild. We share a common cause: Imagine a world in which every single casual in the game is given free access to the sum of all raiding purps. That's our commitment.
