Editing Release 128 (section)

==News==
===Subscription and Website Updates===
Tassilo has completed the tech for the multi-tier subscription model we have been talking about for so long. Tassilo and I are in the process of completing final tests as well as refining the wording and graphics. We expect to have this live sometime this month.

The optional subscription will now come in three tiers. All of the tiers will continue to have the normal bonuses and benefits: three (generally) monthly login rewards, three Obsidian Potions, a new title every quarter, a twelve-pack of dyes every six months, and additional deck slots as well as the below:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
|Tier 1 || $9 (plus tax) || 900 COTOs monthly
|-
|Tier 2 || $18 (plus tax) || 2000 COTOs monthly
|-
|Tier 3 || $27 (plus tax) || 3500 COTOs monthly
|}

Billing cycle begins on the day you start your initial subscription. Subscription cycles last for a period of one calendar month. Your subscription will automatically renew every month and your payment method will be charged at the standard price for your chosen subscription. You may cancel your plan at any time from your account page. Your status as subscribed will remain throughout the paid period. Subscription status and payment history are available on your account page in the subscriptions tab. Initial rewards will be available for redemption once payment has cleared. Subsequent rewards will be available once recurring payment has cleared.

To upgrade, downgrade, and/or update your payment method for an existing subscription, you must cancel the existing subscription and then initiate a new one. All of your earned rewards and title level will be preserved if you cancel and sign back up later. The billing cycle will not change from your initial subscription billing date when you re-initiate a subscription within one month of a cancellation (that is, while you’re still in the subscription period).

We are also updating the website. Since the main landing page is static and old information, we have changed it so anyone going to shroudoftheavatar.com while not logged in will now go to the “All Updates” page instead of the old initial landing page with the promo video on it. The old page will find a home somewhere on our site in some form.

We are also making changes to re-home the Community TOS, Streaming Program, Art Submission, and many other policies on the main website instead of using dev-posted forum threads. There will still be links in the forum to find the appropriate webpages.

The policy updates and other website changes will be ongoing. We will post an announcement in the forums as each change is made.
