Tiers Change Effective Starting Today (Please everyone, read it it's extremely important.)
🕑 Added 2024-02-10 10:03:27 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
It looks like I'm a bit dumb because it didn't even occur to me that I WOULDN'T be able to change tier pricing. After all it's logical: you need to be okay with it. The only thing I can do is delete old tiers and add new ones.
So even if it's going to be a real mess, that's what I did. For the whole duration of February, both tiers will coexist so that you can migrate to the new tiering. Feel free to choose up or down your current level but please, switch. Because when a tier is deleted, I automatically lose all associated patrons. And I know better than anyone the amount of people pledging and never checking their pledge back (and consequently never moving in that kind of situation.) That's the reason I still have patrons on Patreon (and I swear it's true, I even got a message from a Patron on Patreon 1 month ago as if I was still active there.)
So I know the whole process is going to be messy, especially considering I won't have incentive. The first release is planned for the end of April but I'd like to avoid leaving the old and new tiers together too long. Because at some point I'd like to post about SoVR on Pixiv and if newcommers see all the plans they're going to be confused as hell and might not want to pledge at all.
This is something I haven't mentioned in my previous post but you have to realize as well: Fanbox is important for me because it allows me to transfer the money to Paypal. Considering I pay EVERYONE (except PeakJump) with Paypal, I can't aford to have the Fanbox amount too low. So I ask it as a favour, don't migrate to SubscribeStar either if possible ^^' And the reason I'm not paying PeakJump with Paypal is exactly because of SubscribeStar not proposing Paypal to transfer money. I had for force him using SubscribeStar's linked site (Skrill). He was nice enough to go through the hassle of setting a whole account but the other artists haven't worked with me for almost 10 years so they won't.
I have no idea where this is going but it's a measure I had to take, unfortunately. I'll simply mention the fact that I had to make small changes compared to the original plans for the Extra Hours + & ++ tiers: Fanbox doesn't allow tiers bigger than 10k. As such, the Extra Hours + has been lowered to 10k (instead of the original 11k planned) and the Extra Hours ++ has been removed.
In terms of post update, I've updated all posts until December 2021 with new tiers. I suppose that if previous posts become unaccessible with deletion of old tiers, it's old enough so that no one cares. Worst case if something was supposed to be still accessible I'll reupload it.
So, yeah... Sorry it has to turn that way :/
