USD base prices plus applicable tax. Membership renews automatically until canceled. Ashford stays capped at level 15 for everyone. Default skill caps outside Ashford are Free 30 / Member 100; the Game Manager may adjust them as the game develops.
Inactivity means time without player input. Automatic logout: guests and registered free characters after 5 minutes, and members after 15 minutes. Monthly and yearly membership include the same inactivity benefit.
Members can request access to the Members Discord server. Founders and Grand Founders can request access to the Founder VIP Discord server, including previous supporters.
Contact Kilian in the game with your character name to request an invitation. Kilian confirms your reward and handles the invitation personally.
Each bank expansion adds 50 slots for 100 in-game gold. Free players start with 50 slots and can expand to 100; members start with 200 and can expand to 500. Purchased expansions are permanent. If membership ends, the free limit applies; all your expansions return when you renew.
Your items stay safe if membership ends. Everything remains in your bank and can be withdrawn. Deposits are blocked while you are over your free storage limit; remove items to make room again.
Optional, one-time support helps continued development. Contributions are separate from membership and count toward your Founder tier.
Verified cumulative support: Founder at $10; Grand Founder at $100, excluding tax. Existing Founders can pay the remaining amount to reach Grand Founder from Membership in the game. No recurring charge or membership is included.
Earn a Founder title, chat badge and heraldic cape. Grand Founders unlock both cape tiers and the Grand Founder title and badge.
Capes are bound to your character and kept on death. They cannot be traded, sold, dropped or salvaged. If missing from your equipment, satchel and bank, recover them free from Character & account or Membership while eligible for the reward. Their skill-scaled damage bonuses apply against creatures only, never PvP or duels. Your chronicle listing is optional.
Clear expectations, from the start.
Checkout availability is shown above. When available, sign into your registered character and open Friends & guild → Membership. Payment takes place in Stripe’s hosted checkout. Guest characters must register first.
Membership raises the training cap outside Ashford to 100, gives 200 bank slots expandable to 500, adds 3 extra tool belt slots (6 total), grants access to published member regions, and extends automatic logout to 15 minutes without player input. Guests and registered free characters have a 5-minute inactivity timeout. Free players have 50 bank slots expandable to 100. Both plans include the same benefits. Members-only worlds are coming soon and are not available yet; the kingdoms remain an evolving playtest.
Twelve monthly payments of $9.99 total $119.88. Yearly membership costs $100, saving $19.88 each year—about 16.6%, before applicable tax. The full annual amount is billed up front and renews annually until canceled.
No stored items are removed. Your storage allowance returns to 50 slots, or 100 if you have bought any expansions. All purchased expansions are restored when you renew membership. Withdrawals remain available, but you cannot deposit while over that limit. Once back within the limit, existing stacks can be topped up; storing a new item type needs a free slot.
Items in the three extra slots stay safe and can be unequipped or banked. They cannot be used from those slots until membership is active again. Free players keep three active tool belt slots.
Founder and Grand Founder support unlock titles, chat badges and bound, recoverable capes. Capes cannot be traded and stay with you on death; eligible characters can recover a missing cape free through Character & account or Membership. Their stat bonuses do not apply in PvP or duels. Membership charges do not count toward Founder totals. Refunded or disputed contributions can reduce your qualifying tier. Supporting the game never grants staff or moderation powers.
Membership renews monthly or yearly at the selected price until canceled. Cancel renewal from Membership in the game; already-paid access continues through its expiry date. A one-time Founder contribution does not renew. For transaction help and refund requests, use the payment support options in your checkout receipt or your Link account. For game or reward problems, use Help & feedback in the game.
Stripe handles payment information. The game stores your character-to-payment association, payment identifiers, verification results and reward eligibility; it does not store card details. No payment amount, real name or email is published on the Founders’ Chronicle. You choose whether to list a public name.
