Given how every MMO released after EQ has a life-span of 3-6 months (my personal interest is usually around 2 months) before a noticeable drop off occurs, I can't fathom paying more than the box price. If I'm still really into it after a few months, I have no problem dumping more cash into it.

Yep, great interview, Draegan.

The fact that they were talking about the old days of MUDs and being able to collect people's heads is grounds for some optimism. If they could put in some kind of similar system to that or as in UO, would really be a net community positive. (Think of a collection of heads of people you've killed in EK, for example.) Also the 'causalization of the space' and the talk of 'broadening the audience' was good to hear.

Devs: give me my UO chest full of heads of people I've killed again and your game will succeed.

Yeah it's also encouraging that they aren't afraid to openly make some players better than others (like Jedi in pre-CU SWG). Imbalance is fun, they're right about that. Might just be red meat for the community but that's what convinced me they wanted an old school experience.

With Draegan's fantastic coverage unless you are really excited about the studio tour the only thing the $2500 package really offers is a slightly bigger castle; which is cool but the Citadel and Palace probably make it look small.

The only thing that *really* looks interesting over the 1k backer level is the 10k design your own campaign. That I could see being alot of fun doing if you have a good idea on what you want implemented.

Yep. I'm going to pay box price for this game too- when they have an actual box to sell me. There have been so many failures in this genre... no way I'm going to pay for hopes, dreams, and a bunch of "good ideas."

In my experience there is a direct correlation between how grand a developers ideas are and how likely the game is to fail. This game has some pretty amazing ideas...

You could also just post your idea for a campaign on their forum and if it's good enough and gets enough positive feedback they would probably think about implementing it. Then you don't have to spend 10k.

I'm not worried about vaporware. I'm worried about combat being clunky, lag, and just bad graphics.

Yeah my main concern is wildstar being referenced as an action mmo to draw comparisons to what they are trying tp achieve.

This isn't eqn where the reveal was sand art and the opportunity to buy your way in to the alpha for the tool (landmark) that they would use to build the prototype of the eventual game
