Hello TRUE BELIEVERS!
It’s time to Prepare for our 2023 Season!
Slowly we return to the new normal. In Ascension things are far from the normal lives our adventurers have known within the Cairn.
Previous years we had done fundraisers and we have been lucky enough to have a huge outpouring of love and funds. This translated directly to the building we have done for our NPC camp. Unfortunately we could not anticipate the record prices of wood and materials as well as equipment rental. This has left us with an unfinished project that is a priority in funding for our 2023 season. On site storage and own own building for the NPC camp are huge. Centrally located on the site it will allow us to better engage players, set up mods and distribute assets to provide a better player experience.
Along with a fundraiser we are also launching “bounties” on certain items. You may remember these from old HQ when Kyle did them. Theres are items specifically needed or desired for us to have a better play experience.
“Kyle, usually there are rewards and such for these kinds of things-” you are darn tootin there are!
This year we will be running this fundraiser from today 1/17/2023 until the end of April. During that time period any who donate at least $5.00 will get a 10 x Gobbie exchange. As always if you donate over $250.00, you will get a set dragon stamp ratio as well pending owner approval.
IF we can as a group raise over $5000, then we will increase the level cap by one level!!!! If we make it to $10,000 then two levels. This will continue for every $3000 beyond goal. I know it's wishful thinking but hey it's what I do.
There are a ton of other rewards. They will be set up by the end of April when all donations are added together. We will let you know about once a month where we stand.
The rewards and tiers are below:
