I wonder. If two people combine their wayfarer accounts to get pioneer, can that 1 pioneer account be combined with another (3 total people) to make chieftan? I would be interested in that but I guess we would all want the artwork 
EDIT: nvm, not enough keys are there?
Another EDIT:
But to make matters more complex, the merged pioneer could combine with another pioneer and then a chieften to make a master account

I’ve recently upgraded to Wayfarer but I’m hoping to be able to go to pioneer before 1.0 primarily for the extra plots as I love building but the jump financially is pretty big so unfortunately at this moment in time it’s not something I can afford on my own and the 2 access keys, instant and launch are plenty for me.
As far as I’m aware it is possible as it seems that other people have done that already.
I would want to hit chieftan for the exclusive character options and 1 extra launch key I guess but I’m pretty sure I’ll have to settle for wayfarer.

And if another chieften felt like upgrading with us… then that would be pretty cool… might gauge interest and whether its at all possible

I didn’t notice the ‘exclusive character options’ I wonder if that’s as exclusive as the ‘exclusive items’ which apparently from another thread isn’t necessarily that exclusive. Sorry 
just stirring the pot … but even more plots 
…got to be worth it just for that 
Character options sounds like character creation to me, so maybe exclusive face or exclusive horns (or whatever comes out of their heads 
).
If that’s the case i’m pretty sure you can’t trade that.

Sorry to @ so many developers especially at this busy moment for you but I’m just trying to get some clarification on this as it is rather time sensitive and wasn’t sure who the best person is to help.

I have been trying to get a bit more clarity on this question for the past three days as I initially asked in the “Upgrading Question” thread but it looks like I’m just wasting my time 
perhaps if someone else asked they might get a response …good luck 
Just bought Wayfarer! Wanted to get the perks before I couldn’t. Been watchin this game for a while on Steam, awesome it’s finally releasing!

Am I really asking too much to get a straight answer to my question from a Developer? I’m pretty sure it’s not that complicated 
each wayfarer pays half the cost off pioneer upgrade then ya have together two pioneers acounts one each and two steam acces keys also one each
for the extra stuff devs promised to work that out after release
so each wayfarer pays half the upgrade to pioneer and both wayfarers get a pioneer acount and a steam key
so you keep y acount and become pioneer plus ya have a key for another tier one acount and ya pay only half the upgrade
if ya friend does the same
its pretty epic that devs do this

Merging 2 Wayfarer into a single Pioneer works by:
-
The 2 Wayfarer pay the difference between 2x Wayfarer and 1x Pioneer. $250 - ($95 * 2) = $60.
-
One of the Wayfarers is promoted to Pioneer and the other Wayfarer has their purchase cancelled. You need to agree who will be the owner on the Pioneer.
The result is that we’ve gone from 2x Wayfarers to 1x Pioneer.
If you were to do this you need to make sure you’re comfortable doing this with another person. When we send out information to backers in the future we’ll only contact the Pioneer. It’ll be up to them to send things onto other player.
Make sense?

Thank you @james that’s exactly the information I was looking for. I understood point 1 as I’ve already upgraded from Adventurer to Wayfarer it was just point 2 I was unsure about but what you’ve said makes perfect sense. I appreciate the time and trouble to answer my question.

So a friend and I would like to merge our Explorer accounts into 1 Wayfarer account, and pay the difference ($25). How exactly do I do that? Do I just donate the difference on the Boundless support page and give our Steam account names? Is Steam involved in this somehow, or just the Boundless Devs?
@geoftastic this is the information from James regarding the process.
Yes, it is possible to upgrade your package - but it’s a manual payment process and the details are described below. The majority of higher backers originally started out purchasing the Explorer and Adventurer tiers.
How:
You need to pay the difference between your current package and the new package. Once we have confirmed the payment we will upgrade your purchase, tier and account. The new tier perks will be sent to you automatically once they’re available in the game.
Please send the money via PayPal directly to webservices@turbulenz.biz . This is our PayPal account.
As an example, if you’re upgrading from Adventurer to Wayfarer, then you need to pay $95 - $55 = $40.
Please make the payment in the currency you originally purchases Boundless in.
Details:
Once you have made the payment please email the following details to us at boundless@turbulenz.com:
* The original tier and the new tier you are upgrading to.
* The original purchase was via Steam or PlayBoundless.com .
* The PayPal transaction ID - to help us confirm the payment.
* The email address you used to register your Boundless account.
* Your Boundless username.
Please note that this is currently a manual process and the upgrade could take up to 24 hours. We will respond to your email confirming that the upgrade has been completed.
Help!?
If you need any help with this process please email us at boundless@turbulenz.com.
Just a note, Wayfarer only has 1 instant access key. Meaning only one of you will get the perks.
The other key is only a launch key, which is just the base game and will probably not become available before launch (11. sept).
