This'll be the game that finally pulls me from DDO. We stopped playing DnD and switched to Pathfinder for our table top game years ago.

Not sure what I think about the whole kickstarter idea, but hey, if it gets me playing a year earlier than I would've been, then what the hell.

And for only $1,000 you can be an alpha tester. (Along with 3 months of subscription and a bunch of digital crap.)

Yeah, and you thought Turbine was bad for charging $10/month for being a beta tester.

After reading through the 'design' I'm giving this one a 'pass and doubt it will do well'.

There is already a game that does everything they claim to be 'groundbreaking' - it's called darkfall.

i did this with Mortal online... never even logged in lol

fool me once shame on me fool me twice ... dont get fooled again!

I think you are missing the point.  They will not even proceed if they don't get to 1,000,000.  With DDO, you paid to join a beta that was already a product.  This isn't even a product.  It's a concept.  They raised 300k and spent it on proof-of-concept.  The 1 million isn't all they need to build and release the game.  There will be more "need to raise X million by X date or we can't proceed" milestones to come.  It's a big money grab.

Oh, and they want 1 million by January 2013 and you won't see beta start for 18 months.  Live game in 36 months.  Assuming they meet their production schedule, which, is a total guess considering they haven't even finished design phase.  How many MMO's actually ship on time?  You are really paying $80 to play a game in a year and a half? (at best.  Likely 2 years for beta)  How many people plunked down $80 to play MoTU in 4 months and ended up never playing it.  And that was guaranteed to come out.

And, again, they don't guarantee that they will even make the game.  Just that for 1 million dollars, they won't give up thinking about making it. 

I understand you like Pathfinder, but this business model is sketchy.

I like 3.5, and as far as mmo's go, ddo was as close as you could get to it. I think pathfinder is a better game than 4e, and has some things that I like more than 3.5. The main thing is that it isn't owned by wotc.

Epoch, I am gonna go out on a limb and assume that you are not a big fan of... well anything.

@asheras:

I get what they are doing, its not quite what you are saying, but close enough. Like I said, not entirely happy with the whole concept, but its a gamble I may be willing to take (haven't decided yet). The gamble being whether or not I would buy the game anyways, and if I have the disposable income now, then could by myself a present a couple years out.

Of course, there is the possibility they won't make their goal, but I think that's pretty slim. And there is the possibility the game will suck balls. Of course, I would have bought it anyways, to find that out. I would save myself $25 and not get to play the early release.

TRANSLATION:  That is bullshit, I am a fan of many things.  Come to my abode, I have a basement full of tools that help me torture and maim my victims.

WHY ARE YOU RUINING MY TRAP!?

Wasn't very hard yo ruin was it ?

You seem in fine voice today, eat some yellow snow did we ? Or did you just "fall" in the water again?

It's known that you hate everyone and everything except Alaska so I've always wanted to ask you Epoch is that because no one loves you or because you include yourself in "hating everyone" ?

I don't hate everyone.  It really has nothing to do with liking people.  Respect is more about what it is.  I don't hate what i can respect. There are quite a few people in ddo and on the vault that I like. Need examples?
Stainer
Gawna
Aqua
Arkat - has his moments, but he's alright
Grace - lower then mediocre ddo player, but she can be pretty funny
Strake - even beside the whole creating the vault thing
Gunga - kinda retarded when he first got here, but I cant imagine this place without him anymore. Great guy.
Azog - need I say more?
Alaska
Myself - I am pretty narcissistic, can you blame me? I am awesome


You can tell I like them, because I don't insult them. I don't like dio, but I have some respect for the little fuck nugget.  So that makes him AoK in my book. 

You can ask people that group me with me in ddo.  I don't go straight to demeaning the worthless puggers until they show me they are fucktarded.

Stupid people though, who choose ignorance over reality.  People who try so hard to be "awesome", "cool", or "one of the big bad guys" (especially on the vault), and just generally try to be what they aren't and suck so hard at it.  These people are not worthy of respect.  They are trash, and are treated as such. You fit in with them, it is your calling.  Destiny is not written in stone though, it is flexible, it can be changed. You have a long road ahead of you to change that, I wish you the best.

Love,
Epoch


PS - You should blame your parents.

It's odd because you clearly you fit in this last bit, see funny thing is I have "grouped" with quite a few of you and you are not as douchey as you all pretend to be in these forums.

I find it odd when peeps turn into asshats in these forums and then accuse others of doing what they do lolz.  That said practice what you preach maybe but then that would mean looking inwards and that is not something you like to do is it lol


PS -  you shouldn't blame you parents cause I am sure they did the best they could with what little they had to work with.
