This change is now live.

Forum thread here: https://forum.redsun.tf/threads/changes-to-donation-rates.4236/

From the 1st of June 2023 onwards, we are making changes to the donation system. This is not something I've wanted to do, but with how economically shit things are my hands are being forced so we have enough to keep our costs covered for the year.

Existing donators will see no change to their levels, rewards or current held Battle Points.

I'd like to reiterate that no-one is under any pressure or obligation to donate at all. I'll pay the bills myself if I need to, but chipping in does help.

Changes as of 2023-06-01:

• BP earned per £1 GBP donated: decreasing from 60 BP to 40 BP
  
• Donator Level cost: Increasing from £2.00 GBP to £2.50 GBP per level (ie. it will now cost a minimum of £2.50 GBP for 1 donator level.)
  
• Crate Redemption tokens will now drop every £5.00 GBP instead of every £4.00 GBP.
  
• The minimum allowed donation is now £2.50 GBP instead of £2.00 GBP.

These are not changes I've wanted to do. I feel like I'm ripping people off by making these changes to what have been long established rates.
We still take the cost of currency conversion and card handling from Stripe in this case, and we use median rates that should be more lenient towards people instead of nickel and diming every prospective supporter.

Feedback can be left on the forum post (or here, but who the fuck reads steam comments?)
