Upper Guild—Limited Ranks

To access the upper Guild, you need to go through a quick application process—fill out this form to get started!
These ranks are intended for World Anvil super fans who especially wish to support the ongoing project.

Inner Sanctum

For the World Anvil champion

This is the rank to take if you want direct input on the major upcoming feature sets of World Anvil. On the third Saturday of each month, in two sittings of one hour each, Dimitris and Janet host Inner Sanctum Coffee, a zoom video call where they discuss the upcoming features and use the feedback of the IS and above to shape these features to best benefit the use of those present.

Dimitris also more closely watches the Inner Sanctum Discord channel throughout the month, and so it is a great way to provide feedback on the site.

Every other month Inner Sanctum Coffee • Inner Sanctum Discord Channel • 999999 Worlds • 999999 Subscribers • 27 Coauthors

Legendary

For the accomplished Developer

This rank grants access to the Javascript Development pane. You may upload Javascript to each of your Codices (after the team has reviewed and approved it) and to RPG Systems you have made within WA. That Javascript executes for all visitors to your codex or on worlds which use your RPG System.

Javascript Panel

Deity of Creation

At this rank, you're contributing out of an extreme love for the platform. The Deities always have the direct ear of Dimitris and Janet, and get a 1 hour 1-on-1 meeting with them every 3 months—for consultation, advice, or whatever else (within reason!).

1 individual hour of Founder time (Dimitris or Janet) every 3 months

Can I upgrade at any time?

Yes! Any amount you have paid is prorated into an upgrade, meaning that what you've already paid goes towards what you will pay.

Does membership prorate when I upgrade?

See above!

What happens if I drop membership?

If you drop membership, none of your content is deleted or held hostage from you, but any content beyond your top two worlds and the first 175 articles of those words is locked against editing.

Additionally, features above your membership level stop working—for example inline secrets, map marker groups, and containers no longer appear. This is all restored by restoring membership.

This is to prevent exploitation of World Anvil's features.

Why can't I access my world?

If you were a co-author on that world, it is possible that the world owner removed you or lowered their subscription level beyond being able to support you.

If it was your world, and you lowered or dropped your subscription, it is likely that that world is outside of the list of worlds you may edit at a time. To modify this, you may change the operable worlds from your worlds list.

Do my co-authors need a membership as well?

They do not! Many of World Anvil's features are tied to a World's owner, meaning that if they own the world then all their co-authors can use their guild features on that world.

Can I get a refund?

From the ToS: World Anvil is obliged by law and in accordance to the Consumer Rights Act to provide refunds for purchases if said purchase has been done illegally, and if this is within the first 14 days of the purchase.

World Anvil will not provide refunds for any digital product subscriptions in any other case. In order to allow the user to test the product, World Anvil provides a free membership and monthly paid subscriptions.

How do I gift a membership?

You can find the Shop on the bottom of the left sidebar of the editor at any time. Aside from buying world anvil merch there, you can also pick up gift subs!

Is there a lifetime version?

Lifetime memberships were available for a limited time (an optional purchase) as part of the Project Deios Backerkit in partnership with DungeonFog. They are not currently available for normal purchase.

Is there a student discount?

There sure is! Check here!

Can my friend/group (etc) share my account?

This would be a breach of ToS. Please consider a membership level which will allow you to add them as a co-author—even Journeyman has the functionality.
