Patreon 2.0

Dearest Patrons, 

We have some really exciting news to share with you! We've decided that Patreon needs an overhaul to signify the start of a new decade, and to make use of some of the most exciting features and resources in Gay Harem. 

With this in mind, we're working on revamping the Patreon Tiers and the rewards that come with them. Over the years we've added many new activities, bonuses, and resources to the game. And with Patreon and our Patrons being so important to us, we'd like you to be the first to learn. 

Based on statistics and game activity, we've realized that Kobans are not necessarily the most valuable currency for our players. We believe that the bonuses that some of our other systems provide have the potential to be more useful in the long run. And with the overhaul coming to the Patreon tiers, we believe we'll be able to hit all the right spots. So, let us share some info on what we have planned for the update: 

- We're removing the Wallpapers and HD Quest scenes, but will still share sketches of upcoming content and works in progress; In addition, these sketches will now be available to all of our patrons, regardless of tier; 

- We're keeping the insights and the premium status of our patrons - you'll keep your Discord benefits and be the first to know when something exciting is coming;

- Season Pass for all! Yes, with the changes we're implementing, all patrons from 5$ up will receive the Season Pass at the start of each month. Keep in mind that if you've purchased the Pass, we won't be able to assign it to you. If you are a Patron, procuring the Season Pass every month will no longer be something you have to be bothered with. This also takes care of any pesky payment issues you may have when procuring the pass. 

- Monthly cards added to Patreon Benefits! With the Patreon Overhaul, all Patrons from 8$ up will receive a monthy card. Depending on your Patreon Tier, this could be the Silver, Gold or Platinum Monthly cards. Same rules apply as for the Season pass. If you've bought the card or are subscribed for it, you'll need to cancel it before the updates go live. We'll take care of your Monthly Cards and Season Passes so you don't have to bother with them. 

- Useful Currencies - Patreon Tiers will come with the most useful in-game currencies based on spending statistics for the game, such as Combativity, Kisses, Event Pachinko orbs. You'll get a significant upstart every month, depending on your Patreon Tier. 

- Guys and Market goods - Higher Patreon Tiers ($100 and up) will receive Orbs for 10x games of Epic Pachinko. What this means is a free guy and a range of useful Market items every month. Even better, all high tier Patrons will receive a guy every month, instead of once every 4 months, or once every 2 months, due to the Epic x10 Orb. 

For our most generous supporters, this goes even further. $200 Tier Patrons receive 2 Orbs of x10 Epic Pachinko, and $500 Tier receives 6 orbs of x10 Pachinko. 

- To make room for all those goodies, we will be reducing the amount of raw Kobans received by Patrons. Statistically it turns out that Kobans are not the most sought after currency in the game, and with all the bonuses from Monthly card, Season Pass, and the orbs, the need to spend Kobans on refills, collect all, refresh, and etc. are all but taken care of. With these changes, only tiers $50 and up will receive raw Kobans as a direct reward. But with the Monthly cards added to Patreon, everyone $8 and up will receive Kobans daily. Ranging from 1800 for the Silver card and 10800 for the Platinum card. When calculated, this means that all Patrons will receive a much higher amount of Kobans than usual, just received as different currencies and orbs. 

The new Patreon Tiers are almost finalized and we can share some examples of what a tier will contain. These are a work in progress and subject to change.

For example, the current $10 Tier receives only 1400 Kobans as a reward. With the revamp, the price has been reduces to $8 and the Patrons will receive instead a Silver Monthly Card (with all its bonuses and 1800 Kobans), a Season Pass, and 15 Combativity. 

On the far end, the $500 Tier used to receive a guy of choice per month and 90k Kobans. With the revamp, a tier $500 Patron will now receive a Platinum Monthly card (with all the benefits and 10800 Kobans), a Season Pass, 550 Combativity, 6 orbs of 10x Epic Pachinko, 20 Orbs of x4 Event Pachinko, and 23400 Kobans in addition. The value of this tier reaches $750.  

With all of this, you may wonder when the revamp will launch? We hope to be able to finalize the changes very soon and in the best case scenario, the changes will be active for next month, and if we don't manage, they will be active for March 2021. 

We will give you a notice at least 3 weeks in advance, so you can have enough time to consider whether you want to keep your tier, change your tier, or cancel Patreon alltoghether. 

This project is part of our efforts to streamline Patreon, make it more tempting to players and provide you with more comfort and many more benefits. 

As soon as the changes are finalized and approved, a list of all tiers and rewards will be shared with you so you can have time for consideration. We commit on comunicating about this regularly and make the transition as smooth as possible. 

As with everything else, we're open to suggestions, feedback and comments on these changes. We believe that the revamp offers rewards much more appealing and valuable for the same price as before, and in some cases for a lower price than before. But if you disagree with this statement, we're open to discussion and will always be open to discussion with anything related to Gay Harem. Patrons are after all some of our most valuable players and keeping you satisfied is something we have committed to. 

All the best, 

The Gay Harem Team
