General and Site Updates
There is not much to report on site updates. I have done a little bit of back end work to keep the website manageable, but its nothing you should notice as the user. Some of the legacy pages have been removed. Different parts of the site that had been "turned off" have now been archived, and in some cases removed completely.
So what has been going on?
Teamspeak3 - Has gone from a 512 to a 32 user server. Why you ask? Because we now have a paid licence freeing us up to collect dues, donations, and/or sell products and services. We will upgrade this licence to include more slots as the group grows.
DBA - We have taken out a DBA for Late Knights Coalition. This allows us to open up a bank account in the coalition's name. You may be starting to see a theme here.

Update on Dues
You may have already noticed the dues page has been up since last Sunday (4/13/14). While the page is set up, you can not currently place an order. I do not yet have a Paypal account hooked up to the system. To do that, I first need to get a bank account set up. This will be happening soon.
We are still sorting out what benefits will come with each level of membership. This will also be sorted before Dues go fully online. We want you to know exactly what you are getting at each level. For starters, this will be paying for web hosting, our domain name, and our teamspeak3 licence. These are all benefits to you the members.
Currently we plan the following levels.
- Common (F2P) Member - No Dues

On the Store page, there is a button (Just like the one above) that will take you to the new Cafe Press store. The store is fully functional and taking orders now. Currently everything in the store is Late Knights Coalition branded. I do plan on adding branding for other games and groups, but I have to be careful about copyright violations. Look for these coming in the future. For now head over and get your Late Knights Coalition gear.
YouTube
Myself and a couple others are working towards setting up a YouTube channel for the Coalition. Currently we are looking to include some Lets Plays, How To's, and Mod spotlights. There is no ETA on this project at this time, it is merely something in the works. If we can generate a following the money from adds will go a long ways towards, paying for all of the Coalitions needs. If anyone has ideas to help with the project, PLEASE get in touch with me.
