Money Elites HQ and changes (Patreon)

SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES AND DECISIONS DOWN HERE

Please read if you can afford the time too

(and before all, i'm not english native speaker, i appologise if i make mistakes, or if the tones is a bit dry/simplist, i'm trying to get to the core with my limited english skills)

Some times before

Exactly 10 days, i explained in details 2 issues i had with money.

More details are here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/commission-money-70771506

But to resume:
I had to change my commission price to counter the Inflation, and the change in difference between $ and €. Before 1.20$=1€ so it's why i picked a 50€ for HQ, it would be a 60$ for us peoples(+tax) and would still be an increase in money for me.

Things have changed, and with works that are clearly equal in quality with my commissions.. it's not worth it for me, money wise And i had to think of something.

Patreon seems also to keep the change difference at 1.20$ for 1€
Sunno why, maybe cause the change is recent :/
Sorry about that, it's a bit out of my reach. Patreon don't allow me to locate the roles price depending of regions or currency :/

That said, one of my reward is right now  half the price of what i would get out of a commission... so... whatever happen, it would be just more clever to drop the whole reward, cancel the role and just make more commissions.

So, sadly, if i want to keep the rewards, and i Do want to keep them. It's more stable income for me than only living out of commissions, the more obvious option is.. increase the prices!

But, i don't want to spoil the old peoples that followed me for years.
So i decided to do something for now, i Hided the old HQ and Elites roles. If you go see on my page, they have disapeared.

FIRST : NO i didn't cancelled them without telling. They're still here, if you suscribed to it, it's still live, and no i won't stop doing the rewards

CALM DOWN X)

Just mean that even if a spot is cleared, the role are hidden, so no one can join them anymore.

What i did, is create two new role, named Elite and HQ.
Old Elties and HQ ll be renamed Elites-old and HQ-old, just for clarity in the naming

And the new Elite and HQ ll be higher price than they are right now. For the same reward, yes.
I won't double the roles, I'll just open one slot ffor each at first, then open slots when peoples leave the old-roles.

SO, what if i'm one of the OLD?
Well.. if you want to stay at that price, you were here from the begining, i won't make changes, i think i owe you that, so, stay, don't feel bad, it's cool!
If you want to change and pass to the new Hq or ELITE, just poke me, on discord would be better, and i'll open a slot for you to jump in, so you keep your reward. You don't have to, but you can if you feel like

So last question, what ll be the new prices?

Well, Elite ll pass from  25€ (actual price) to 30€ (new price)

HQ, is more the problem here

I could open it at 60€, would be what the US citizen pay (out of tax add) for the european too.

But.. only 10€ is something, but.. still a bit undder what would help me to make a difference, but 70€... sound like a LOT

So thinking more about 65€. A clear jump, but an increase that isn't that much that it's "too much" imo. Still, 15€ means several more meals each month!
It's a gap, and i would understand several peoples renounce it. Or prefer to stay to the OLD ROLE

Once again, i won't Guilt trap any of you folks!
Pay it if you think it's worth the money. If you can't, you cant. But time are hard, for me too, so i had to make those changes.
Sorry

New roles are already live.

 And yes, as i said, I open one more slot into each of them, making 11Elites and 6 HQ in total, seems I draw mostly patreon slot, but even with my July break i'm almost on  the clock atm, sooo.. don't seems overwhelming to add such things atm.

Thanks for understanding...

it's a big step for me.. i.. feel a bit bad about it tbh

I know, it's stupid, i shouldn't, but it is as it is.
