Support Warforge

Full membership in the WARDOGS Discord — and, once it exists, the game server itself — is free for everyone. These tiers are optional ways to chip in toward server costs and get a thank-you in return. This is a membership, not a storefront.

VIP activates when the game server launches. Your VIP time is banked: it starts counting from launch day, not your payment date, so nobody loses time waiting for the server to go live.

Honest status on VIP: WARDOGS publishes a server admin API that does include reserved slots, so we expect this to work. What nobody has done yet is run it against a live server, because no WARDOGS server exists until launch. We will wire VIP up on day one and say so publicly when it is confirmed working. If it turns out not to work the way the documentation suggests, we will say that publicly too and sort it out with everyone affected. We would rather tell you where we actually stand than let you find out after you have paid.

Founding Wardog closes for good after the launch window — once it's gone, it's gone.

The VIP policy, stated openly

Two of these tiers include VIP queue priority. We publish the full policy here because a community is hated more for hiding VIP than for having it — this is the same policy posted in #rules.

After you pay, two links

Both live at /link, and both take about a minute.

1. Your Ko-fi email. Ko-fi only tells us an email address. It has no idea who you are on Discord, so until you connect it we cannot give you anything at all. Skip this and nothing visibly happens; you will think you were charged for nothing.

2. Your Steam account. The game server reserves slots by Steam ID, so this is what VIP is actually applied to. Your role and colour work without it. Your VIP does not. One click, and we only ever see your Steam ID.

Where the money goes

$50 of $100 raised this month.

The rest comes out of my pocket, which is fine and is how it has worked so far. A 100 slot server costs $100 a month, and these figures are before Ko-fi's fees.

The wall

Warlords and Founding Wardogs, longest-standing first. This is the perk those tiers promise, and it updates itself: a lapsed membership drops off on its own.
