Closed Testers (Important Information)

Closed testers! Firstly, thank you all for your support! Remember to change your 100$ pledges back to 1$ or less to avoid being charged again at the end of the month! If you forget and are charged just send me a message for a refund as soon as possible so I can get that done before the funds are transferred and it becomes more complicated. If you're a closed tester and haven't joined our discord and received your roles please join our discord here and file a support ticket to receive your roles and key if you haven't received one yet :) discord.gg/waroftheworldsgame
