A beast at heart.... but I have a heart so.... Wolf.

We will get a better picture of the game when the kickstarter goes live. Read the posts in the news section to get caught up, classes are there. I think quite a few people are going to get pretty dang excited about this game. There is quite a bit to like!

@Prometheus are the new titles not working yet? Forum is still showing the level 145 title in posts.

@drazezard all things happen for a reason, you are here because you are meant to be here, so you can assist in supporting then aid in the creation of the game you and I want to play, each and every day. Thank you for finally finding this game, we have been waiting for you. Buckle up please, this hype train is about to go full throttle!

Pretty excited! Gives me some time to build up a little cash reserve as well (car problems just kicked me in the privates). I like the changes and I hope I can get in on the Knight Early Bird, but I bet that is a popular one. Super stoked to see all this come together. Thanks for listening, keep up the good work, you have a winning game here!

Best advice to give is to watch kickstarter in June, there will be much rejoicing and purchasing, talking and welcoming of new people. This place is going to explode with the energy of all the new people. I am excited to see all the information that will drop and the videos that will come out!

Sungnugglefifersniffen. The art of being able to tell the direction a fish will swim by the general odor of the water.

@fibs each to ones own. You may maintain your linear path, no need to explore, no need to find things hidden... as if you have time for such things!!!! My apologies. Please then, searching for magic hidden loot here... move along you are in the way.

I love secret paths, I found a secret path in the original EverQuest, the the Castle Mistmoore and its discovery helped pave the way to the final encounters. Secret passages and traps are a one trick pony now though, now that there are dedicated game cartographers and web sites built around them secrets are common knowledge fast. I would hope that they do put in secret stuff, one time finds, and they are done. That would have everyone pushing walls tugging torches and clicking static stuff in hopes of magic treasure.

I think games need to pay bills. Its one thing to offer subscriptions or you can call it free to play. I would rather have a purchased game with a vip model where you only gain medium level upgrades so if things get tight for a couple months its not a night and day difference.... like you are completely wasting your time without it.

It is automatic. They scrapped the initial 15 points.

@mrchipps I dare say that is the reward now. Setting up a online profile here on the sight and simply reading all the news should get you at least to level 10. Not sure that giving away participation points and social rewards is the best path for foundation points.

1. I think the prices are in line with most other kickstarters. Your price point for lifetime vip is on par with Ashes of Creation.

2. I am thinking either Founder or Patron, I will figure it out when I see your full presentation.

3. I think that some starter packs would be good. Say a starter pack of crafting material, food, or a few exclusive plans and such. Start it at the Pioneer level.

4. Foundation points would only confuse most people, but if you do decide to offer them in packages reward those of us that have been here by at least giving a multiplier to those reward points in the package. Fair is fair.

Player housing has become quite the norm. I am all for it, love to see ideas get tossed around. Player housing done right can seriously be a reason to log in, getting just the right trophy from a monster to work with your collection so you can get a buff in the game, to even just aesthetics. I would however like to see a game, this game, make use of the house in a game related way outside just a crafting node. Why not build skills or spells out of finding interesting things to decorate your house with. Build aesthetic items into room themes with buffs in line with the aesthetics.

A Necromancer would build a throne of skulls, each skull being of importance, different monsters, creatures and such would yield a different level of the buff it represented, the stronger the monster the stronger the buff, and different creatures might give different results, say monster X gives Strength and monster Y gives Stamina but monster Z gives a small bit of Dexterity with Stamina and Strength being equally half X and Y. Z being a rare creature and a bit stronger, say a mini boss. Thus a Necromancer that has been around longer will have better stats from the home buff. Players would be influenced to decorate their house with different items based on play style, and going to check out someones house can be beneficial for ideas. I am sure you can see where I am going with this.

Put it on its own asteroid, give each one a racial type buff, make every decision about the players house count. I hope this discussion continues.

It is a bit early to complain about a grind, since no one is even playing the game yet. The game will be formed by the early players in alpha and beta anyway. If there is part of the game that isn't fun I would hope we can help find a way to clear it up. I see it as the biggest part of early development and play testing, the ability to get a game into the world you want to play.

I would agree! A forum game that keeps you up to date with the soon to be game while rewarding you for doing so. It has helped build the community. It will be great to see the explosion on interest when this game hits kickstarter!

@Prometheus I do like the track, it has an interesting flow, just enough energy without being a battle hymn. But as a main theme... I am not sure. You have to have a catchy tune, something you can hum and other people would know what it is. The opening song for Everquest.... the March of the Star Destroyer... you know what I am talking about. I haven't loaded up EQ in years and haven't played it daily in over a decade but I can still whistle and hum the entire song.

Never underestimate the power of a song. The original Diablo Tristram Village music is one of the most magical songs ever made, just listening to it brings back vivid memories of the game, its not the intro but I would say it was the main song for that game. If you can get even the first 10 seconds to have a catchy tune you will be in the right direction. Even dumpster fire games like Earth and Beyond had a catchy tune that I can fully remember... even more than the game itself in that case.

I do like being able to have your name attached to the item. I think it would help over time to have well known smith or such. Just as long as there is a good reason for it, say longer durability of the item, or able to absorb and retain enchantments. Just slapping a name on the same exact item being made by every single person making said item to me is just a cheating way to say its unique. Give me a reason to need to trust the name on the item or seek an item made by a select few people.

today its a daily... so tired... so sleepy

While it might be easy to toss out a couple names of other games that look similar I think I would be doing you a disservice. This game while not forging new ground is definitely taking a new path. Take a good read on the news section, that will get you up to speed. I do not think any comparisons would be fair at this point as some key mechanics have yet to be shown.
