Becoming a Novice
When you first join AncientWorlds and create your persona, you will start out as a Dayling. As a dayling, you will be limited to only (?) image space, (?) grams (except to scribes, which are unlimited) and (?) amount of posts. Also, in the AW Comm Panel and in a group that you join you will have a colored star next to it, denoting your current level. This is to help others know your amount of expertise.
Now, as limiting as this is, it is to give you enough ability to understand your new home/persona and explore this site. But it doesn't last long!
When you Log in to this new persona on the next day, you will automatically be promoted to Ancient Worlds Novice.
Being a Novice affords you more grams, more board posts and more image space. However, this level still has restrictions.
As a Novice, you are limited to 5 grams, 1 board post, 1K image space and 2 site currency earned per login day. But this level also is not permanent!
Becoming a Citizen
Every time you log in on a new day, you will notice the amount your cashbox holds with an increase. When you have accumulted enough site cash to equal 2200 Sesterci (site currency) you will automatically be elevated to Citizen status. This amount reflects 30 days of log in. However, each day of the week that you log in is accumulative, meaning 5 for one day, 10 for another, 15 for the next etc. This amount becomes higher depending on the membership level.. ie; Novices earn 2. sesterci(sitecash) per day, Citizens earn 5. stcs, and Patronage earns 10., 20., or 30. stcs depending on the level of paid subscription.
As a Citizen, your limits have once again increased. You now are capable of 10 grams per day, 2 board posts per day, .25mg image space , but are still limited to 1 group membership. All of these can be increased if you Purchase Patronage.
Becoming a Patron
Ancient Worlds is a subscription based site, meaning it's upkeep is supported by paying members. There are three levels of Patronage, Maximum, Optimum and Millenium. Patronage can be purchased at any level of membership, even as a dayling.
You may also purchase patronage for another persona as a gift. Currently patronage can be purchased through PayPal or by sending a check/money order through regular mail. Your personal patronage information including the date it expires on is available from your homesite when logged in. (It will appear at the very top under the masthead "Subscriber account")
