Episode 2.5 Fundraising Contest

[Arikae]

OHYES

I have some extra money I've saved up from babysitting. Lightning is always cool, so I think I know what I'll be purchasing~

[Cenetri]

Wow, what an interesting and interactive way to earn money for the creation of lightning and the benefit of the game! I myself and others around me would probably love WolfQuest items, so I'll have to see if I know anyone else who would like something like this. c:

[Masika]

Bwhaha, lighting, that would certainly be an interesting feature to place within the gameplay c: I shall try and purchase or possible donate sometime soon, though I shall have to look into it first. $1,000, to me, certainly seems achievable within the amount of time we have!

[Swifty]

Wow! Lightning! That would be such a cool feature to add to the game. I've already got a t-shirt, maybe I can donate or buy the necklace. Lets hope we make it!

[portia]

Lightning certainly will be an interesting feature to add to the game and having a fundraiser for it is a fantastic idea! I think having a deadline and a specific goal will help motivate people to donate and help out the development of a cool new feature.
I will make sure to do my part too ;]

[Thandi]

How cool Cana, I'll be sure to order a necklace for my sister's b day present! :3

[Koa]

Awesome! I'll see if I can order some things from the shop.

[shenzie]

I have $186 right now.... Il defently buy some stuff(t-shirt and necklaces FTW!). Ill order later tomorrow because its 1:00am right now... So ill do it tomorrow! I cant wait!

[Rikkuzilla]

I think I might treat myself to something from WQ's shop then for a change. Generally, I just send a donation (and let a member from my pack pick out a prize from the shop), but maybe I'll get that bear mood neck and a tshirt. :]

[Kipcha28]

I've got my eye on those wolf figurines; they'll be a great addition to my collection. Hopefully I'll be able to get them soon.

two question first what will you do with the money if we don't reach the goal and 2 every time someone buy something it will go up right ?

I can answer the second: every time someone buys something, the money toward the $1000 goes up. However, as Cana said in the first post, not 100% of the money you pay goes to the $1000; some of it covers shipping, etc. The picture on the first post will only change when Cana updates it.

From the first post:

Profit for each item: while profit varies based on how much the actual shipping price is, I decided to make things simpler by assigning a specific amount to each store item, so you'd know approximately how much your purchases add to the grand total. The profit listed here doesn't necessarily reflect the real profit made (which doesn't include my time to process the orders, the cost of envelopes, etc.), but it does give you an idea of which things help raise more money. In general, purchasing anything with a WolfQuest logo on it (shirts and patches) helps the most, simply because we've already spent the money to purchase the product. So if there have already been enough items sold to recover the initial cost, all of that purchase price is profit.

So, here's how all our store items will count toward this contest:
•WolfQuest T-shirt- $10
•Plush, toys, and necklaces- $5
•WolfQuest patch and wolf magnet cling- $2
•Donations- 100% of amount donated

If the goal is not reached then the money will still go on WolfQuest, what exactly will depend. It may go for bug fixes, forum maintenance or many other things which are vital to keep WQ going.

Anyway, I have now ordered a bear paw necklace to help out.. will also be making a donation soon as well.. lets reach this goal guys!

[WQ Coordinator]

To add on to what Kipcha said, the contest total goes up when I check for orders. I can only do that while I'm here at the zoo, which is only a few days a week. So if you order something and the total doesn't go up for a few days, it doesn't mean the order was lost. (Or just in general, if the total doesn't go up for a few days, it doesn't mean no one has purchased anything.) Today, for example, will probably be my last day to check orders until next Monday, so don't worry if the total doesn't change for a few days.

And yes, regardless of how much money is earned, whether that's just the $80 we're at now or we raise $10,000, all of it goes to WolfQuest. Not necessarily toward game enhancements, but for things like maintenance and bug fixes as well. (It costs $5,000 a year just to pay for the WolfQuest server, and that doesn't include any kind of extra work like fixes, username activations and changes, and all that good stuff.) So don't forget to keep clicking on those ads, too!
