Something about that lower guild tier selling 0 so far needs to be done. Maybe something as simple as change it to alpha access. Reasoning behind that is someone buying it for his guild solo , or 10 folks getting organized enough to do it together are going to want the alpha access and not beta.

It isn't like I haven't been following this thread, their Kickstarter, their post on Reddit ect, ect. I plan on donating a fair bit granted $500-1,000 isn't a lot of money but it's enough that I am going at at least think twice before I throw it away. Which is why I want to know what the long term plans are. On his Kickstarter page they talk about how this is only the start and they will continue to raise funds after this is over, and if you know Kickstarter you know you can run the same thing again if they don't hit their goal it isn't one shot or bust thing. But if they do plan on shopping it around later for some real funding I am very curious about it. You know as well as I depending on who funds it can have a very big effect on direction of the game, I can't help but want to know more about this game.
I do want to see it made which is why I am posting in the first place, I am happy to offer cash, time, feedback, and word of mouth, I just want to be sure of what to expect in return.

Brought that up to them. Basically they want to reserve the alpha for the higher guild tier. I know they were looking for suggestions.. 1 was a unique guild hall

Should put more of those on, people will buy em I guess having just 3 of those above 1.5k really limits the high backing ones, now you have nothing left over 1.5k.

From what I have read, it is their intent to get the 800k on Kickstarter to prove that there is an audience for this type of game. I am sure you are aware that if they initially take funding from a big publisher, the publisher will want to take control of many aspects, including the creative side and then we will just end up with another game that is exactly like the other MMOs that have launched and failed in the past 10 years. If they can prove that we wantTHISgame, they have a better chance of holding onto the creative integrity of their vision when they seek additional funding.

Well that's almost exactly what I have been saying. Which is exactly why I am curious about this aspect. Would be nice to hear the plans from Brad directly, or at least some idea of what his plans are, and even with some initial funding a big publisher could still get their hands on many aspects of game which I also implied. So I would like to be reassured that their is some thoughts by Brad and Co. to prevent such a thing. Your post was pretty much repeating my thoughts back to me.

Second Life -> that way (sorry I can't bear to link, even as a joke).
@Whidon et. al. Yeah, they need some 2k, 5k tiers for the Whales.

It seems to depend on just how successful the Kickstarter is, the more money they get the less they need from someone else and therefor the less control that someone will have.
This is what he said on IGN, emphasis mine;
This is copied directly from the Kickstarter page. I am not sure if you have seen this yet.
"A Note on Post Kickstarter Funding
This has come up in a few places so we want to make sure we address this. Our project starts with Kickstarter but that is not the end of it. If we get funded the campaign will continue on our website while we continue game development. When we sat down to look at what we wanted in the game we first had to consider our resources and what we would do with the money you all donate. What we came up with is a list of features that we feel are required to produce the core experience while allowing you to continue to back us like so many other projects have.
We believe that there is room for this type of game in the industry and, while we would all love to get everything at the minimum fund price, we know it will take more to include all of them. So please do not fret over those stretch goals because the opportunity to get them is not going away and neither is our need for your support. So lets consider this a call to arms we need everyone, who is willing, to rise up and get the word out on every social front you can. Lets ring the bells and bang the drums, separate we are but a lowly design team and some backers, together we are the heroes of Pantheon and the time has come for us to rise and make Terminus real.
Salim Grant, Director of Development"
Yeah, I meant gone as in someone actually gave it. Getting 2 back to back is just suspicious
Seriously , he's answered the funding question about it starting with KS and not ending there.
He's not going to name names and give specific details because random Joe on a message board asked it again for 50th time and said he needs to know.
Would we all like to know specific details and back room conversations already made and with who ? Sure.
Does anyone with a half a brain think those details are coming out because its asked again ? No.
