Help Kurt Decide Patreon Reward Changes!

As per my previous text-post about upcoming 2016 changes, I need a little help and input from you about consolidating and simplifying the Patron Reward Tiers. In order to do so I'll need to remove and/or replace a few tiers. Here is what I'm thinking the "new" tiers will be:

$1 - Thanks!

$5 - Postcard in the mail!

$10 - Mug in the mail!

$20 - Patron Minecraft server whitelist!

$40 - Teamspeak server for hangouts and use on the Patron server?

A few things happen here: Most obviously, the current $3 and $6 tiers disappear, and are replaced by the $5 tier. This is where the majority of my Patrons are, so I'm hesitant to rustle any jimmies. However, I think some $3 Patrons may be encouraged to raise their pledge a few bucks for the postcard, and the $6 tier folks will be happy to get a physical postcard mailed to them instead of the digital one that gets stuck in their spam filters.

Also, the Mug reward drops from the $20 to the $10 tier (yay!) and the $20 tier gets the Patron Minecraft server access. I was considering making the Patron server $25, but there are already so many great people in the $20 tier who've given for so long that I didn't want to count anyone out. Also, this means those already in that tier won't have to manually re-chose a tier when I make the change.

Lastly, in the spirit of simplification, I'm probably going to remove the $100 tier, something I've discussed at multiple points in the past with those folks in there. I don't want it to seem like I'm actively asking anyone to give that much, those that do have done so completely voluntarily and know they can continue to give whatever they choose. :)

Any thoughts before I make these changes live, possibly aiming for this Tuesday? Also, look forward to an official year-end Patron video addressing these changes. Thanks again everyone!

INDEED,

Kurt
