Donations and Rewards

Our web hosting plan is going to expire on November 13th. Renewing it out-of-pocket is expensive for the staff, so we're going to be opening donations for a limited time. We've come a long way thanks to member support in this area, and couldn't be more grateful for this - WCO wouldn't be around without you.

It's rare that we accept donations--usually about once or twice a year--but when we do, we try to give a handful of incentives in return for your contribution. Click the spoiler for the donation packages and what we're offering with them!


ALL PRICES ARE IN USD AND THROUGH PAYPAL. If you would like to pay using a different currency, please take your request to an administrator. We are flexible with pricing, but you will receive the rewards from the tier below your donation amount. For example, you want to donate $17.00 - you would receive the perks of the Cheetah Package.
If you'd like to gift a package to another member, contact a staff member privately and this can be arranged. All perks of the donation package will be given to that individual.

Kitten Package - $1.00
• 5,000 Koins
• Bragging rights and our sincerest thanks for donating!

Cat Package - $5.00
• An exclusive award
• 20,000 Koins

Cheetah Package - $15.00
• An exclusive award
• Rainbow username
• 30,000 Koins
• 1,500 PM Inbox
• Fancy member tag (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/images/fancymember.png)

Lion Package - $20.00
• An exclusive award
• Your choice of a Resurrection Card or Reincarnation Card
• Fully functional WCO Email (username@warriorcatsonline.com)
• Scrolling rainbow username
• 40,000 Koins
• 45,000 PM Inbox
• Fancy member tag (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/images/fancymember.png)

Tiger Package - $25.00
• An exclusive award
• A Power Card
• Your choice of a Resurrection Card or Reincarnation Card
• WCO Email (username@warriorcatsonline.com)
• Scrolling rainbow username - lasts for two months instead of one
• 60,000 Koins
• 50,000 PM Inbox
• Fancy member tag (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/images/fancymember.png)

Ideally, our goal is set to be $192, which is the price of our host plan for one year. If we're unable to make this, $107 is sufficient to keep WCO running for another six months.

The staff will do our best to pay for the remainder of the cost in the event this drive isn't successful, however between hospital bills and college payments it's become increasingly difficult to support WCO without assistance from our community. Any help you can give toward donating to WCO is greatly appreciated, and will go toward keeping the site up. :heartbounce:

I want to donate but I legit have no way of transferring my 1 dollar bill ~sobs~
My parents banned me mailing stuff because the pandemic and they fear that the workers may contaminate the mail.

Question about the tiger pack:

If the features last for two months would someone have to pay $25 each month or is $25 the total of two months?

BEAR.
October 14th, 2020, 10:51 PM
It's the total of two months! Boo Bread

I’m in the same boat as you Rani and Kitsu, well legally not quite an adult, but have my own money to give to a cat site....but my only hesitation is I figure WCO already got the money, at least 2 people donated $25, and a bunch of other people donated.

If you get over the amount needed to renew the site, what will you do with the money?

My guess is it gets saved for an emergency fund if theres an issue with the servers or digital space rent goes up. Thats usually how large fan run sites work

Actually, WCO uses Bluehost, and you have to pay each year for a plan to use it. That's why they need money!

And why it's awesome, lol.

It goes toward renewing the domain in April and next year's hosting plan. We don't profit off this and I wouldn't be asking for website donations if I was planning on using it for personal reasons lol

Doing a quick update on the donations here --

We've made our goal!

We're currently at $220 out of $192, which is fantastic! It's been a few years since we've done so well during these drives and we couldn't have done it without you guys. :heartbounce:

Because I know some people were interested in donating / the rewards, I won't be closing the drive so they can still have the opportunity to donate if they wish. Officially, the drive will be up until October 18th @ 11:59 PM ET. However, I will leave the subscription tab open to anyone who wishes to donate after that date.

All donations are going to WCO's hosting plan and the domain payment. I know there was some concern over exceeding the goal earlier, but even if we have this year covered, the donations will be carried over into next year.

Thanks again to all those who donated, and thank you to anyone still interested in donating! <3

Hi,

I was thinking of raising some money for it, but I doubt I would be able to get it by the 18th. Do I still get an award if I do it after...?

October 16th, 2020, 02:20 PM
Yes Creepy Cobra, the 18th is just when I'm taking down the notice.

And yep, you're fine Shadow! ShadowyUnknown

I explained it in this post (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=826101&postcount=40), but I'm leaving the donations up for those who still want to get the rewards this year. Everything over this year's goal is going toward the hosting plan and domain renewal for next year .

Is there a certain amount you have to donate to get access to the discord colors for donors? Also on that, how long does the donor role last for and does it have any other perks aside from the colors and role?

BEAR.
October 17th, 2020, 12:50 PM
I'm basing it off of if you get the rainbow name on WCO (regardless of if it scrolls or not.)

So $15+ dollars gets you access to the donor channel. Right now it's the ability to change your color and customize it along with a private chat but I'm looking into adding more things for them to do. Zesty Mango

EDIT: Oh, and I'll probably have it accessible until the end of the year. Undecided.

If you go through the subscription page on WCO, it automatically associates the paypal payment with you regardless of who owns the paypal!
