New Loyalty Model and quick explanation. (Patreon)

Hi,  

First things first. The long-awaited loyalty model is here and will be added to your MMF libraries this week but in the meantime, we have a small explanation of how Loyalty rewards will work.

When we decided to introduce the loyalty system, we meant to reward people who stay with us for longer periods and to give a new exciting model every three months to all of you who continue to support us. We wanted to have those models pretty exclusive but still available to people that join later so every long-time supporter would have a chance to get to all loyalties eventually. It turned out that the way we designed it, ended up causing a lot of frustration. Lack of surprise element and very long waiting time for newly presented loyalty models is not was not very appealing in the end. We also did not have the right tools to keep track of who is supposed to get models and it turned into a small nightmare for us as well. 

We decided we had to make some changes and we came up with the idea of introducing a loyalty points collecting system and allowing you guys to spend those on any loyalty model from the collection, still adding one new model every 3 months.  Unfortunately, that turned out to be too complicated to implement and synchronize with the MMF. Therefore, after almost 2 months of trying to implement that, we were forced to abandon this idea.   

After another brainstorm, we decided to change our loyalty system into tiers with annual seasons.

- There will be 4 tiers (3 months tier, 6 months tier, 9 months tier, and 12 months tier)
- All new models will be added to one of those tiers accordingly to the month they are released in.
- Patreons that manage to reach 3/6/9/12 months in a row will get access to all models from the 3/6/9/12 months tier.

Hydra will be added to the 3 months tier as the first model in loyalty season 2.

We are also aware that recently many people have struggled to receive access to the prizes, please know that we are trying to carry out further iterations of tests so that we can sort this out the earliest possible so that everyone will have the opportunity to receive their so well deserved prizes.  

Greetings
