Funding

Funding

Artifacts is free to use, but it's not free to run. Every contribution will directly support server maintenance, which is essential for our operations. If you'd like to help support the project, you can donate to the developers using the link below.

End of the Founder Program

At launch, we introduced the Founders program a bit hastily, mainly to cover high server costs. Since then, we’ve taken a step back and put a lot more thought into the business model so it’s simpler, fairer, and more sustainable.

What’s changing with Version 1 (2026)

With the arrival of Version 1 in early 2026, the Founder program will end and be replaced by a traditional subscription. The subscription is optional to support the game; the game is completely free to play and will remain so.

  • $6/ month, or
  • $60/ year (equivalent to $5/ month)

Gems → Subscription Conversion

All gems you own will be converted into subscription time according to the ratio below:

TierGemsSubscription Time
Founder3,0005 months
Gold Founder7,00012 months
VIP Founder14,00024 months

If you made multiple purchases, they will be combined.


Founder Titles & Skins

Your Founder title (regardless of tier) will be kept forever in-game and on Discord and will no longer be obtainable.
A unique character skin will also be granted for each tier by the end of the Founders program.
