You do not need to notify people that you are recording in the Aura Fury discord or on our game servers. It is an everyday occurrence here. The biggest rules are making it clear the donations go to you and not Aura Fury along with not using the Aura Fury name in conjunction with pushing political policies, parties, candidates, or endorsing companies and products. Be sure to be respectful of other content creators, Aura Fury, and its members. So basic stuff. For a complete list of community rules see #community-rules or here on the website for the complete list of rules.

Yes you can because you are not an employee of Aura Fury, but you must make it clear in your content that the donations go to you and not Aura Fury.

No, that will never be a requirement here. That choice is completely up to you

Yes! We run Aura’s Furious Watchathon twice per year, which is a multi-day event promoting our content creators. We also have some other ones in the works too such as charity streams. All events in Aura Fury are optional so you do not have to take part if you do not want to

Yes! Post your question down in #content-creation. We have an experienced admin dedicated to helping folks and our other content creators are happy to help as well. If you need help getting your average views up to make affiliate we can help with that too, if you are willing to schedule videos around when we have a bunch of folks available to help out

By being involved in Aura Fury events at least twice or posting videos/streams from Aura Fury game servers or with groups of Aura Fury players. Once you have done so, just shoot EconBrony a PM and he will get you listed!

If it is videos or live streams that are being done on Aura Fury servers or with groups of Aura Fury players then yes, it can be posted in the #youtube-and-streams-on-aura-fury channel. After you have done this twice, you will gain access to the #general-yt-and-streams channel where you can post all your videos. We made this rule to prevent our content creator channels from becoming an advertisement channel for people who are not involved in Aura Fury.

If you see people in a voice channel, feel free to join without asking. Just remember to stick to the theme of said voice channel.

Means you still need to fill out the community application or your application processed yet. Sometimes it will take a few hours before an admin to look at your application so please be patient.

Ask your question for help in the #help-and-faq channel and an admin will help you out when available.

Here in Aura Fury we do things a bit different. We don’t want anyone to feel like they are no one in our discord so we make everyone appear equal. If you ever need an admin just ask in #help-and-faq and we will be right with you.

You can chose them in the #passport channel.

Chose the emote that represents the game channel in the #passport channel.

Yes there is! You can right click on a specific channel or category and change the notification settings. You can make it where only @mentions get through or completely mute it. Doing this is a much better alternative to completely muting Aura Fury since you will miss so much information if you do that!

We run an Overwatch 2 Tournament and Exhibitions. We also run events for other games from time to time too. Be sure to check out our discord at discord.gg/aurafury for the most up to date info on events.

Yep! We are always looking for individuals interested so that we can have multiple teams.

You can also sign up as a free agent using the Free Agent application under the Esports tab. Then we will connect you with teams in and outside of Aura Fury looking for members.

Yes! You can join Aura Fury and you will be expected to continue to run it. If you have a separate discord, you can continue to use that and will not be required to use the Aura Fury discord for meetings and such. If you want channels we can get those setup too. You will need to communicate team needs and events to the Aura Fury admins. Aura Fury can promote your team, help find players, possibly run tournaments, provide needed resources, Esports Casting of your games and more.

A group of individuals in Aura Fury are creating live streams and videos of Esports in events kind of like what you would see ESPN do. If you get a chance you should take a look! They are pretty awesome!

Yes we have 501(c)(3) status and we are recognized as a charity. We are a Texas non-profit corporation.

We are certainly looking for help in video editing and production of the videos. If you are knowledgeable and from the gaming industry we could use your input on various topics or could possibly interview you. We need folks willing to research topics that we’re going over in the Academy as well as contacting folks in the industry with questions or for interviews.

• We provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to game and socialize in. This has been of particular importance during the pandemic to provide for individuals’ needs to socialize and have fun while staying home. Even after the pandemic, for many the internet is the only outlet for individuals to meet this need and we aim to continue to provide this at zero cost to the user.
• We teach inclusiveness and sportsmanship to people from a variety of ages and backgrounds through gaming events. Through education we are building more inclusiveness in video games and attacking the toxicity that exists in the gaming industry as a whole.
• We provide a variety of ways for individuals to try new skills and gain experience in the gaming industry. Individuals can try out being a castor, learn how to run production on gaming events, learn and take part in event planning, management, programming, marketing, or play in tournaments. We are teaching others about possible educational paths you can seek out in college or possible careers in the gaming industry.

The videos are professional interviews of members of the gaming industry and community along with talking with individuals who have overcome or still are dealing with barriers in the gaming industry.
• We provide technical and general assistance to content creators at a variety of levels of skill whether they are seeking to stay casual or make it their career. We are building a list of resources that include educational videos and websites along with license-free resources for music and graphics to help content creators reach their goals.
• We plan to build a set of resources to teach others about the barriers and challenges being faced by women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and those with disabilities in the gaming industry in general. Our hope is that through education we can build more acceptance in the gaming industry and break down the barriers that people face.

Yes, they are under our community rules and can be found here. Aura Fury's complete terms and conditions can be found here

Joining Aura Fury servers is completely free, regardless of who you are. This is one of the benefits being provided for all from the charity.

Fill out a community application and be sure to select the game you want to be whitelisted on. If you have already filled out an app and have been accepted, simply put a request to be whitelisted in the #help-and-faq channel.

You can suggest it in #suggestions, but keep in mind the vast majority of the time we will not add mods that break game balance. We try to keep the number of mods down too since at any time a modder could stop developing their mod and we would not be able to update to newer versions of the game. Lastly the mod may not be added due to performance reasons. We are looking for mods that deepen the progression or add to the difficulty to the game.

We have 2 bare metal servers with the following stats: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8 Cores/16 Threads at max speed of 4.5 Ghz, 2x SSD NVMe 960GB Soft RAID, 500 mb internet line, 64 GB DDR4 2666MHz, and 500 GB of cloud storage backup space. We also rent container boxes with a set amount of RAM such as 8 GBs for vanilla Minecraft. We rent the premium container boxes from heavynode. We do our best to provide great hardware to keep lag low on our servers

We run Vintage Story, Minecraft, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Valheim, and quite a few other servers that are trading out with other games. Some servers we rotate are Starbound, Eco, Ark, and Cryofall. Looking for Aura Fury to run a server put your suggestion in #suggestions.

Our bare metal servers are in Ontario, Canada (most of our game servers are on these). We have found this to be the best location to provide great connection to folks in and outside of North America. Our container boxes tend to change locations, but are often located in New York City, New York. If you want to know a specific server location just ask in #help-and-faq in our discord.

In #suggestions in the Aura Fury discord. Please check the previous suggestions to see if it has already been suggested and give it a thumbs up to show your support. Keep in mind our admins will not respond to every suggestion.

They are pinned in the channel where that game is talked about in Aura Fury. So the Vintage Story server address and mods are pinned in #vintage-story. Vanilla Minecraft is pinned in #vanilla-minecraft. Games that don’t have their own channel will be pinned in the game category it falls under. So the Medal of Honor server is pinned in #fps-games.

Yes, we do accept sponsors and are looking for sponsors. It can be made specific to an event, Esports team, project of Aura Fury, or for Aura Fury in general. To go over specifics, please get in contact with us!

You get a big thank you from us! We are not a pay-to-win community so there are no special items you get on our servers for being a Patron or donating. We do post your name on the supporter page of our website. Patrons also occasionally get access to some of our plans and ideas a bit earlier than the rest of the community.. We are exploring some other fun things as well currently.

You can donate to our patreon at https://www.patreon.com/aurafury or can make a one time donation via paypal to donate@aurafurygaming.com (be sure to note who it is from in the Paypal notes). You can also buy some of our awesome merch at https://aurafury.myspreadshop.com/. We will also post volunteer positions from time to time when we need help in the #announcements. Feel free to direct message EconBrony with any questions.

It varies from product to product, but we see between 18-23% of the sales comes to Aura Fury. The rest of it goes to spreadshirt. Spreadshirt gives one of the largest margins I have seen of custom merch stores

Yes and no. If it's your personal server at home, then no. If it is a server you are renting directly then no. The reason being is that we can’t 100% guarantee the servers will be provided over the year. It would be devastating to many of our gamers if a server world suddenly disappeared because the provider decided to leave Aura Fury for personal reasons and takes the server with them. So the only way we could accept it would be if you can offer at least a year long contract guaranteeing the servers to us and it must be located at a datacenter to ensure low lag and downtime for our gamers. Finally we must have full admin privileges on said server.
