Welcome to the Ahadi: East Africa Membership page. We have opened to the public! Please make yourself a forums account and stop by the Chat to talk to Leslie about your character concept. If no one is on, FPM her for a response. While we are still new, we don't have enough players yet for round-the-clock people in the chat, but don't worry! We're sure that will change.
We are a free chat. Membership is fast and easy, and it is done through our forums. Once approved, you will have access to our forums and some of the site's features, such as private messaging, central login, dice roller, and character creation. Since this is a Fera game, we won't be making anyone play a Garou before they are allowed a Bastet, however, we will be very specific with what we will allow to be played and what we require to play. For those interested, that would be Mokole (Mokole-mbembe stream only), Kucha Ekundu (Red Talons), Silent Striders, Ajaba, Bagheera, Simba, Swara, and Makunguru Corax. We will not allow any of the other Fera. We also will require that you have certain books, or at least, the PDFs.
After a player has been with the site for a time, we may extend additional priviledges. Once a member has reached the priviledge level, we will accept donations for incentives. For those that contribute donations, we will have a Sponsored Membership tier. This level will likely extend some benefits in the chat and forums. Anyone may donate to the site, but we want to make sure that any incentivized Sponsors are trusted, long-term players, not new members who simply want benefits.
Possible Incentives:
- Custom Icons
- Extra Character Slots
- Ranking Characters
- Access to Restricted Forums
- Raised limits on forum upload space, max number of storable messages
- Personal Gallery
Donations to the site will be used as followed:
- To pay for site hosting, currently cheap.
- To pay for updates to the chat
- To pay for certain updates on the forums, such as the gallery and new features (ie blogs)
- To pay for utilites used for the site
- To pay for licensed artwork
- If membership gets too large, we will need to extend the chat beyond the 100 active user limit. This will cost at least $500.
- If the chat gets too slow, we will need to purchase a dedicated server to host the java application. That will cost $1200-2400 per year.
- All monies that are generated above and beyond the needs of the site will be donated to a charity benefitting Africa's wildlife or peoples.
