I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm truly going WTF.

Again, wtf.

So we are all going to chip in a buck each to fund one account to be posted here for all though aren't we ? There's NO way we can miss out on the secret alpha 15/month forum posts.

The entertainment value will be too much.

Meh, I won't do it, but it's the same thing as pledging in easier installments if they keep the tier thresholds.

Yeah I asked that earlier , if it builds up and counts towards pledge tiers , it's not bad and a good move on their part , more people can kick in 500 bucks if it's 15/month for 3 years and gets you the alpha forum access as part of it.

If it's just alpha forum access + a collector edition and doesnt count towards tiers ? It's fucking insane.

I am pretty sure the monthly sub will be after the KS goes down. It isn't even ready yet.

That being said, it is not a horrible idea... I think they should have a discount for year pay type thing. ($99 etc)

I am by no means a fan boy, but if they offer interesting insight into the development progress, I could see a small group paying.

Being willing to pay for forum access to a game that will never get produced makes you not only a fanboy but one of the world's biggest fucking idiots.

There's lots of forums around the net that are pay-access. It's crazy, but not unheard of.

Let's see if there is enough interest in a niche pay-access forum, for a niche pay-access game. How many zealots are needed to keep 10 grown men from finding real jobs? Right now the minimum wage is $8.00 per hour. 10 staff at 40 hours a week is $3200 a week or $12,800 a month.

It would require 854 Champion Members
or
2560 Supporter Members
or some combination of the two just so these guys can make a McDonalds salary and not get grown up jobs. Of course in return for your unending support you will get an in game pocketwatch, or batman backpack, or whatever we can promise that keeps those sweet sweet dollaroos coming in.

4. Difficulty- as defined by risk/reward ratio, player vs. player competition, and a meaningful death penalty.

I don't agree with difficulty as defining "old school" at all. Depending on the content, WoW had some of the most difficult content ever created in the form of very high end raiding and trying to reach Gladiator in arena. You can say a lot about WoW, but saying that the "top end" was easy is very off base. Leveling, yes. Top end, no way. There was nothing inherently hard about EQ's leveling or progression either, in my mind. So, I don't difficulty is a defining factor either way.

The difficulty was in the amount played. Plain and simple. All the key quests, all the camping for all the good shit. That's what set apart players in EQ.

You could zone into Unrest and meet a train at the zoneline, be more or less instagibbed. Then if you were melee, you'd have to run all the way from BB or Kelethin to get your corpse. And you lost exp. And you were cursing along the way. This was at level 18.

In WoW, you never cared that you were instagibbed because nothing was ever lost. You could die at level 8, 18, 20, 60, and it never matted. You never got trained either. And you never lost exp. So nothing every really mattered.

That's oldschool difficulty.

Again ,if it adds to your tier access total it's like a payment plan that gets more to a 500.00 tier. = smart move on Brad and Co's part.

But if it's not , that means they are asking someone who wants in on the inner circle forums the entire time to pony up 500 for just the forums and a CE copy of the game. You'd still have to buy whatever tier you want on top of that to get other perks or add-ons. = Milking the true believers to silly levels.

I'm very curious which way they are going with this choice.

That's not really difficulty though, that's tedium.

The thing that I want the most out of a game like this is the open huge world with lots of dungeons, mini bosses, bosses, placeholders...etc... Give me a reason to play, which is the one arm bandit that these games have been missing.

Camping takes on a different light when you know that maybe that boss will pop and he can drop that awesome gear.

Eh , I'm not sure I'd say it's difficulty or tedium , more there's consequences from the unexpected. Things you can't control nor "know" 100%. I prefer the less safety rails the better myself , but I don't call it difficult , and not really tedious because it makes me enjoy the overall experience more.

I'm weird though :p
