    BF4DB has officially launched a Patreon page to offset our monthly costs, and give you rewards in exchange for doing so. Patreon, if you're not familiar, is a website where patrons (supporters), subscribe to a particular page. There are usually different tiers that each have their own rewards. It's a recurring subscription, that you can cancel at anytime.

    We have set up three tiers: $1, $5, and $10. The $1 might not seem like much, but every dollar counts. Without your generous support, we wouldn't be able to keep the lights on. The $1 tier includes an exclusive Discord role, as well as access to the First Look newsletter, which is an insider look at BF4DB, as well as early announcements for everything new, and it may even give you access to testing when we roll new things out (*cough*BF4DB 2.0*cough*).

    The $5 tier (known as Preferred), will give you access to everything mentioned above, but also includes access to a special Discord channel where you can report suspicious players directly through Discord, without having to go through the hassle of the website. Additionally, it gives you access to a LIFETIME 25% off of Admin Tools. I'll discuss those a little later.

    Finally, we have the $10 tier (known as Plus). You'll get everything from the previous tiers, with the added ability to get priority support for anything BF4DB related (plugin, website, Discord, etc.) as well as a LIFETIME 50% off Admin Tools.

    The Admin Tools are a set of features that we are building for the next website release (2.0), in the near future. These are designed to take what we currently have, expand them, and make them available to the general public. These tools are more advanced than any of the tools at any other Anti-Cheat site, and per EA, require us to restrict access to some of them. This is accomplished by paid subscriptions (not the ones above, these are separate and different).

    Just to mention one of the many improvements, we will have access to our History Tool, which will allow you to research players, look for linked accounts, see IP's, and more. Pricing is expected to range from $5-20, but you can secure a lifetime discount of 25% or 50% off by subscribing to either Preferred or Plus on Patreon. 

    These perks are only the beginning, and we will be evaluating and adding additional perks over time. We're not trying to make BF4DB "pay-to-win", but we are trying to offset our operating cost so we can build up a better service for you.

    Here's the link to our Patreon page: https://patreon.com/bf4db

    Thank you for your continued support of BF4DB, and we look forward to hearing some feedback from you all. As always, if you have questions, don't hesitate to post below or let me know in Discord.
