Patreon Reward Changes
Added 2018-10-22 22:06:03 +0000 UTCHi
I want to start by thanking everyone for continuing to support the channel on Patreon and give a huge welcome to the more than 50 new patreons who have joined within the last month. The amount of support over the past two months has been staggering and I'm truely humbled that so many of you have chosen to support me here.
Unfortunately the surge of new Patreons has put a large amount of strain on the GoC Patreon servers, resulting in lag, crashes, prolonged periods of downtime and many late nights for myself and Ninja.
We have made many changes to the StoneBlock server to try to handle nearly 200 players, many of these changes have worked and the StoneBlock server is now running fairly well. (Outside of a few persistant inventory issues which we are working to fix.)
However, whilst making these changes, it became apparent that we would not be able to set up multiple servers capable of supporting up to 200 players.
It is for that reason that I have decided to change some of the Patreon rewards.
==========================================
The Changes
Starting today, there will be 5 different Patreon tiers.
Tier 1 - Support the Channel!
This tier has not changed and will continue to be for those who wish to support the channel but do not wish to join any of the GoC servers.
Tier 2 - Server Access! [$5]
This is the tier that most of you are currently in and starting today, this tier will grant you access to 1 GoC server per month.
[You will be able to change which server you are whitelisted on, once every 30 days]
Tier 3 - Bring a Friend! [$8]
Many of you have asked about increasing your pledge to add a friend to the server whitelist and so starting today you can select this pledge to whitelist two accounts on 1 GoC server per month.
[You will be able to change which server you are whitelisted on, once every 30 days]
Tier 4 - ALL THE SERVERS! [$10]
This tier will get you whitelisted on all of the GoC server whitelists.
Tier 5 - Patreon+ [$25+]
This is a purely cosmetic tier that gives you a different color name in the GoC Discord server. (As well as access to all of the GoC Patreon servers)
==========================================
The biggest change here is of course the limiting of the $5 tier to one server per month. This is not something that I wanted to do. But is something that I feel is necessary if we are going to have more than one server up at any given time with the current number of players.
I understand if some of you wish to stop supporting the channel because of this change, I am more than happy to refund you for the month of October, just send me a message here on Patreon.
I am hopeful that these changes will make the GoC servers less laggy and more stable for everyone and will also allow me to spend more time doing what I love, making videos and streaming.
Once again I'd like to thank you all for your continued support. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the new tiers either here or in the Discord.

P.S. There is a new Sky Adventures server coming very soon. =D

Its a smart move maybe setup something so whitelists are automatic and me/others dont require to wait for a response
2019-06-24 14:46:49 +0000 UTCIt's a smart move that should improve the server fun for everyone involved.
2018-10-25 13:01:49 +0000 UTCHey, Isaac! I am down with the new changes, and I'll be increasing my pledge to the $10 level for right now, but hopefully the $25 in the next month or so. I'm disabled, with a spine that's falling apart, and can't usually sit up at the computer very often to play- but you guys are legitimately my favorite creators on YouTube, so I'm more than happy to give you a little bit of my money each month. I appreciate what you're doing, and I hope you and Nik are able to keep doing it for a long time! Can I be whitelisted on the Sky Adventures map as well, please? I've been playing it a bit on a singleplayer map and it's a hella fun pack =D Once you get the transmutation table, that's when it gets wicked fun! Anyway, thanks for your hard work and dedication on the GoC channel, and thank you for keeping Nik around. Keep up the great work, mate!
2018-10-25 09:31:03 +0000 UTCHi Bas, I've moved you over to the Sky Adventures server, You can switch servers again any time after November 23rd. =D
