RWBY Volume 8 & Early Access: What Does Each Tier Get You?
🕑 Added 2020-10-29 16:33:39 +0000 UTCGood day everyone! With RWBY Season fast approaching I wanted to make a post that outlines the benefits each patron tier gets during the volume! I am making this post on October 29th to give people some time to adjust their pledges accordingly for November, depending on how they feel about these benefits!
In order to illustrate the timing of everything releasing, I am going to use the first week of RWBY has an example, but each week will be more or less the same. Important dates are Saturdays, Thursdays and Fridays!
- Saturday, November 7th: RWBY Volume 8 releases for First Members. Hunter and I record out reaction and $10 Patrons get same day early access. After the reaction is posted for patrons, we will do our public live stream discussion with screenshots about the episode.
- Thursday, November 12th, $5 Patrons will get access to the RWBY Volume 8 Episode 1 Reaction
- Friday, November 13th, $20 Patrons can participate in our RWBY Episode Discussion in the Discord Server at 4:30 EST. We will discuss Episode 1, theories of the week, and predictions for Episode 2.
Then, the cycle restarts again, with Saturday November 14th releasing Episode 2.
$5 Patrons will also have early access to all the RWBY theories, discussions or predictions we may post throughout the week, just like the RWBY Fairytale videos and RWBY Theories that released for Early Access in October.
TLDR;
$10+ Patrons will receive their RWBY Reaction, which is Same-Day Early Access on Saturdays (Reaction)
$5 Patrons will receive their RWBY Reaction on Thursdays (Reaction), and other RWBY content like theories, discussions and predictions throughout the week
$20+ Patrons will receive their RWBY VIP Discussion on Fridays at 4:30 EST.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like I need to address this point: I hope everyone, especially the patrons at the higher tiers are understanding of why I decided to give $5 patrons the "later in the week but still a few days early before it's public on YouTube" early access. I felt too guilty about the world situation to keep the reactions locked at the $10 tier this year (I know a LOT of other RWBY reactors who keep it at $10, this is no shade at them, it's just a personal thing for me).
I wanted to give people an alternative option, but at the same time, I needed to maintain the integrity of what the $10 Patrons are paying for, and make sure their feelings are kept in mind. I think the result is fair. In order to make things fair for the $10 patrons, I needed to put a considerable amount of distance between their early access release day (Same Day Saturday) and the $5 tier later-but-early-access (Thursday).
I think Thursday is a good day because $5 patrons can still see my reactions early before they are released to the public on YouTube, but $10 patrons still have the added benefits of seeing the reaction immediately. I see $5 as "those who are on a budget and want early access, but can wait a few days to get said early access" whereas $10 is for those who absolutely cannot wait without bursting XD
I hope you guys enjoy everything we are bringing you during this RWBY Season!
