Raidbots is moving away from Patreon and existing pledges/subscriptions will stop working in January 2024.
You can seamlessly migrate to Raidbots Premium directly on your account page - if you switch, make sure to follow the instructions on that page to make sure you properly cancel on the Patreon side to avoid being double charged.
Raidbots supports many more payments methods than in the past including:

TL;DR: It's best to sign up for Raidbots directly on Raidbots, not here. Patreon will be dropped at some point in the future. Please do not use Patreon messages for support.
As a heads up, Raidbots will likely be moving away from using Patreon over the next 6-12 months. I will post more as the plans become more specific but I recommend switching over to using Raidbots Premium directly on the Raidbots site.

I've launched some new stuff in the last few weeks! Here's a quick recap of what's new...
Raidbots Premium
You can now support Raidbots directly on the site itself, get 10% higher limits than when using Patreon, and have more flexible options for managing your subscription (choose 1, 3, or 6 month periods).

TL;DR: You'll pay slightly more, you'll get slightly more
Hello folks!
Patreon is making some changes to how pledges work that will result in your monthly pledge being slightly higher (probably in the range of $0.30 - $0.50 per month) as a way to make sure creators get a bigger share of pledges.
In light of the new service fee, I've increased iteration and simulation time limits by 10% for patrons at $3 or higher.
Specifically, the new limits are:
Lithium_ and I worked to get the Discord bot to provide free skip-the-queue for your guild Discord server if you are an Epic Patron.
The quick guide - if you pledge at the $10 Epic level and invite the Discord bot to your own server (of 100 of fewer members), you can run:
`!raidbots -assignrewards
This will register your server to your account and anyone in the server will skip the queue.
More details (including some nice quality of life features in the bot) are on the Raidbo...

Hey Patrons!
FYI, you may need to reconnect your Raidbots and Patreon accounts at https://www.raidbots.com/account (and/or wait until Patreon fixes an issue).
The Patreon systems I use to synchronize between sites broke at some point yesterday and it caused quite a few of you to get flagged as non-patrons. You should be able to quickly connect at the link above if you were affected.
I've made ...

Raidbots now has a Discord Bot!
Invite the Bot to your Discord Server
lithium_ and I teamed up to convert his SimCraftBot into the new Raidbots...Bot.
The Discord Bot can hang out in your own guild server and make it easy to kick off Quick Sims, Stat Weights sims, and more.
For patrons, you can skip the line like usual as long as yo...

I just launched Top Gear on Raidbots! It's now far easier to select a bunch of items from your bags and automatically compare all variations of them (requires latest 1.7.0 version of the SimulationCraft addon or the SimPermut addon).
I think the feature will be pretty awesome - it makes a lot of common gear comparison tasks even easier since it doesn't require manual input and also brings the complexity of setting up large trinket/legendary compares down to almost nothing. SimPermut and SimcTr...

Pledges just sailed past the $600 goal over the past few days which means 32 CPU servers are on the menu!
Huge thanks to everyone pledging and using the site. I'm super happy that I'm able to build something that folks find valuable.
I'll be looking into getting the 32 CPU servers up and running as soon as I can. The main thing to figure out is how to solve some scaling issues that the site has been running into (Raidbots uses cheap servers that are not always available - I have some ide...

Thank you to everyone who has pledged! It's looking like between patreon and ads, I should be about breaking even which is fantastic news for keeping the site running. It's been my hope to be primarily funded by you all so I can focus on building the best site for players, not a site focused on pushing ads. And it looks like that first step is complete!
Hopefully the site can continue to grow so I can afford more/faster servers. I was able to make some big strides in cost management this...

First pass on automatically upgrading your Raidbots account when you pledge is in place as long as you use the same email on both sites.
Your account should be upgraded within 60 minutes of pledging if things go well. There will likely be bugs and edge cases which I'll be manually handling.

Getting the Patreon kicked off so I can figure out some API shenanigans so that getting your rewards is as easy as pie.
FYI, if you pledge now, I'll need to manually set up your Raidbots account with your reward level.
