TAW, an ever expanding Gaming Community that is "for the members".
Now we as members love to show that we're proud of our Gaming community by recruiting people to help our community grow, we post videos on Youtube, we Stream on Twitch, and we buy stuff from the TAW Shop.
Our community is always Changing; we have new Divisions enter through Vanguard, leave Vanguard and find new homes in Corps, members come and go. Through it all, the TAW Shop also must change. Don't worry, we're not leaving. In fact, we're changing the Shop for the better!
Here's How....
1. EVERY Item is Customizable: EVERY Item in the TAW Shop can be altered. We made a Wiki Post about, you can find it here. So now you can pick a product and adjust it to the way you want it (please remember that adding extra images/lettering will increase cost). So now on EVERY item, you can change the color of the image, add your callsign, even change what product it is itself to anything that Spreadshirt has to offer. All you have to do is select the item and then click the "Do you want to edit this design" and go to town.
2. Division Wear: A new category has surfaced in the TAW Shop, Division Wear. DC's and DO's are encouraged to fill out the form so the designs can be created. All text is in Stencil Format. Base colors used are those that represent your Division (Yes you can still edit them). You can find an example here for the Digital Combat SImulator's Design.
3. Duplicates are being removed: Currently there is a bunch of "excess" items in the Shop, which is the same product that just displays the different colors of shirts/logos. Since we have changed it so you can now "Edit Your Design", the duplicates are being removed to create room for the items that will be coming. (Ongoing Work in Progress)
4. Suggestion Box: There is absolutely no way to know what TAW members want to see available in the Shop since I'm not a mind reader. But I am willing to listen, and that's why there is now a "Suggestion Box". A home for you, the members, to voice what you want to see. Not all requests are viable, but I'll see what I can do.
5. New TAB: Created a design that's being used in the TAW Shop?, there's a TAB for that. Made a purchase?, there's a TAB for that too. All you have to do is fill out the form and once confirmed, I'll issue you the TAB to go on your dossier.
6. TS Shop Channel: The TS Shop Channel has been changed to reflect some of the previously mentioned changes. Links to almost everything already mentioned are in the Shop Channel. Every time a new promotion starts/finishes, it will not only be added to the Shop Channel, but I will also make either a Blog or Forum post for the members to see.
7. Price Changes: Our supplier has recently done some changes to how prices affect products. Because of this, the Shop must adjust the prices to reflect the changes made. The changes made on our end is to try and help keep things at a relatively low cost to you, the member. This will be an ongoing process.
Important Information: Every time you make a purchase from the TAW Shop, a portion of the purchase comes back to TAW to help with the expenses of the gaming community. Donations or purchases from the TAW Shop, help cover important expenses such as our TS Server, Website, the funds that your Division gets to give as prizes and more. Everything always comes back to the members in one way or another. We're a community that is run by VOLUNTEER members, is for the members and THAT is one thing that will NEVER change.
