Almost at the $400,000, or 20% mark! That is an important mark as 81% of projects that raise at least 20% of their target get funded. In other words, only 19% of projects that raise over 20% of their goal fail.
I suspect a large wave of pledges starting around 5:00 PM EDT / 2:00 PM PDT and carrying on into the evening. Why? That is when people start getting off work and coming home to pledge!
It called having an opinion and sharing on an open public forum just like how you want to share yours even though it won't have any impact on anyone.

I like the ideas beyond this, so I'm willing to back it, I've enjoyed both of Mark's major mmos. The programmer will be putting up some things as the Kickstarter goes. I can always cancel, raise or lower my pledge based on what's revealed.
Ah, but see, it may. "Negative Nancys" posting their tripe may influence others not to invest in a project that has potential to be good.
You are not their mother, or their father, nor their friend. As you are none of those things, your only motivation is to crap on a game which others have hope for, which by its potential will have no negative impact on your or your loved ones.
Again, I ask, why are you here?
In other words: Why are you here trying to convice everyone else not to invest in something they have hope for?
100% of projects that raise at least 100% of their target get funded. I'd rather see those odds...

There is NO miracle patch.
95% of what you see in beta won't change by launch.
Hope is not a stategy.

Welcome aboard Galiden!
I pledged....
The main reason i threw money behind this project is the idea is what i have been looking for ever since DAoC fell off. I also love the fact that this game will take its direction straight from the community and the devs no other parties involved in steering it for a publisher overlord that wants to meet financial deadlines.
The worst part is, they don't know how sick they are. All we can do is just stand aside, wring our hands, and shake our heads at these sick, sick, people! Clearly their is nothing to be done no matter how much we cry for them - they're too far gone. *GRINS*
It i a funny word isn't it? if people have the right to encourage others to pledge people also have right to put forward their concern. It is an open discussion forum not a fan site.
So you jumping on him for giving his opinion was really uncalled for. If you are personaly not invested in this project i don't know why you would have problem with his comments. Only because he is being negative? well more like cautious and not throwing his money away.
Clever people look at both sides of the coin before making any decision. If everything is positive and all rosy it just defeats the purpose of these forums.

I dont get it why u pay for something its not even done yet ? Ive heard 1000 other game devs asking for our money and they was wasting them instead of building game of our dreams.
People STOP paying for BETAS access !!!!! Old days they ask us nicely to try game hoping that we like and we buy but now they ask us to buy and they dont give a cr... if we will like it or not coz we already paid for it .
I did pledged many times before and some day ive realised that they just found another way to pull money from us.
Silly .....
WAR failed for many many other reasons. Different classes had nothing at all to do with it.
We don't pay for playing beta. We pay for the game itself to be done and to be able to play. We paid for digital copy of game with a bit more benefits than the others will have. What's more it probably costs less in below 250$ tiers then it will be at realease.
BETA is just a thanks for giving money now. We are not buying it.
OFC it's not the same for IT access. But you can't imagine how many ppl would like to do something like this and they will never have a chance to do something like this in studio like this. So they can do it by donating.
What's more it's our cash. It's our decision what we will do with the money. It's our hobby so that's why we wanna spend some cash on it.
Kickstarter is like Penny Stocks - these companies cannot really get the big money people interested so they go this way. May as well burn it - that is how many of these Kickstarter/Penny Stock companies actually make it. Many try to use the Kickstarter money to get the Real Investors to cough up money also.
The amount of money raised from a Kickstarter campaign will only cover a very small portion of development.
Console kids will never understand.
They will send an E-mail to remind it...
Go read the Foundational principle (http://camelotunchained.com/en/), and if you like what you see you'll like the game. The actual mechanics of the game that weren't explained yet will be all geared to have a game as close to those FP as possible. You can be sure of that because as a niche game CU will need regular players, and it'll be the backers. Doing otherwise would kill the game.
Oh, shoot! You're right...why didn't I think of this? I'd better go retract my pledge.

Done. $250 digital.
I'll take my alpha access and lifetime free sub now thanks.

It's not paying for "beta access," it's paying for the game itself to be developed, instead of them going through a traditional publishe who ends up pulling the strings, usually retaining control of the IP, and influencing the design of the game.
You can generally get the full game from kickstarter at a very low price (usually lower then the retail price whent heg ame is released).
It's not like you have to fund the game, then turn around and "buy" the game once it's made (unless you choose to, or pledge at the lowest level which is usually < $5).
It was also the same for DAoC and it was a great game.
Plus, all i read about WAR untill now said there was mirrored classes...
They didn't ask for other investors at all. because they want to keep their freedom of work. So they won't ask for one no matter how it goes.
MJ will give out 2M from his own pocket regardless how it goes. Just watch the video on KS page.
