HOW TO JOIN BY USING PATREON:
DUE TO THE INCREASE IN "DECLINED BY BANK" TRANSACTIONS WHERE SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE SIGNING UP (NOTE: I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY VEROTEL DUE TO FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY, BUT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION DUE TO THEIR OWN BANK GIVING A DECLINE) I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO OPEN AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR MEMBERSHIP THROUGH PATREON. THIS IS NOT THE PREFERRED OPTION, AS IT DOES REQUIRE ME TO MANUALLY ADD AN ACCOUNT (WITH VEROTEL, IT GETS ADDED AUTOMATICALLY). SO IF USING THIS OPTION, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT DOES NOT GIVE ACCESS AUTOMATICALLY.
MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE MAKING THE PLEDGE! ^_^
1. CHOOSE THE $25 TIER ON PATREON (then send me a PM on Patreon (step 2) this is VERY important!)
Go to http://www.patreon.com/wildsidecomix, and choose the "Sponsor +" option at $25.
Note that pledging this amount also gives access to the patreon content ^_^
Now, it's VERY IMPORTANT that you also complete the next step (sending me a PM (message) through Patreon):
2. SEND ME A PM (MESSAGE) THROUGH PATREON AND ASK FOR YOUR ERO-MANIA ACCOUNT
Since I have to add a new account manually when you use Patreon, you need to send me a PM (private message) through Patreon and ask for the account after you've made the Sponsor+ pledge. I will then add your account as soon as I can (please note that since this must be done manually, I might not be available immediately.)
3. WHEN I SEND YOU THE LOGIN DETAILS BY PM (AFTER I'VE ADDED YOUR ACCOUNT), YOU'RE ALL SET UP!
When I send you the login details through PM on Patreon, all you need to do is log in to Ero-Mania's members area ^_^
PLEASE NOTE:
- Naturally, the terms of use still applies to accounts created through Patreon. Chargebacks will result in blocking and membership termination. No sharing of the username and password is allowed (the website's security system stops and blocks accounts with multiple logins). The content downloads from within the members area can be directly tracked to each specific user, and any fraudulent usage, like re-uploading the files elsewhere, is a breach of the terms of service and will result in blocking and membership termination. In other words: just be a nice and decent person, okay..? ^_^
- A subscription for 3 and 6 months are currently only available through Verotel.
- There is no option for recurring discounts through Patreon (like there is through Verotel), but since the $25 pledge also gives access to the Patreon content, it does closely reflect the price for the recurring discount for a monthly Ero-Mania membership ^_^
- Making the pledge on any given date is valid for 1 month (30 days) from the day I send you the login details.
- If you keep your $25 pledge, and it's carried on towards the next month (please note that Patreon is charging all pledges on the 1st every month!) then I will add an other 30 days to your account.
- The "Loyal Members" count is of course still valid for Patreon-based memberships as well (where you can request 1 "Loyal Member" game for each completed month of membership). If you want to know more about "Loyal Members Games", you can read about it here.
- Please note that Patreon is not my preferred option, due to the additonal hassle of manually adding and managing memberships. However, since several people have asked for an alternative way to pay due to problems with bank declines through Verotel, I wanted to add this as an option for those who are interested in using it ^_^
