They are really struggling to make money right now. If they don't either figure out a way for people to buy more foundation points for their pledges, or if some pledges don't start just throwing cash at the kickstarter the last couple days, I don't see this funding.
This is how I felt. PRX was fun to play with, but the game got so boring so quick that I just lost all interest in it. WvW, instanced 'bigger' PvP. Wildstar warplots seems much more interesting since it is 40 on 40 so there is no number advantage.
If they do do this, Wildstar has a similar feature of a role that you play as a "settler" where you can actually build towns, upgrade different things, and help build your or your guilds warplots for PvP. Pretty cool imo.
I find it funny how some people are mad they are paying to be able to play in the beta. How come no one complained that they had to prepurchase the game for GW2 just to play on a few Beta Weekend Events. At least Darkfall beta is every day.
I will be playing with people from PRX and Sick Bastards which was an original clan in DFO, so if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or let me know you're interested and I'll send you some info.
