What would it take for you to pledge?

Im guessing some of you may be on the same boat as me. You want to support the game and really want to help make it to release so you can play it yourself. Youre tired of the same overplayed guided gameplay/interactive department stores MMO's have become of late. The tenets of Pantheons development team are one of the few, if not the only, MMO that seems to get what you want in an MMO. To top it off, youll get some in-game goodies and two copies of the game which is more or less going to be what 2 copies will cost you if you wait for release.
On the other hand there is always that risk of dropping down $100+ dollars on something that may never be. To be frank, the 'financial ethics' behind it doesnt exactly build confidence either. Hell, its fully possible that youll hate the game even if it does come out. Yet here you are.
Many have already pledged and are eagerly awaiting their prize. Some might still be on the fence or just waiting for a more sure thing (like me). Others laugh at the idea of just paying for something that not only will make someone else money, but may never happen in the end.
TL;DR
Just thought id make a thread to see who else is also deciding and why. Maybe even give the devs some insight on what to "advertise" to us next to convince us to pony up. Those of you on the fence, what do you want/need to see or know before you decide to give away your hard earned cash ($100+ pledge)?
Personally, id at least like an alpha date. Its easier to "invest" if I know ill at least be able to play an early, incredibly limited and buggy version of the game for a while. Meanwhile, more game play videos showing off some higher level dungeon game play or more detailed combat mechanics (and animations!) might just make me impulse buy it just to get it out of my head.
Feel free to discuss, even if you already are pledged or pity us poor gullible fools for flushing our money on a promise.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
After clicking Join, you see 4 options. Free, Supporter sub, Champion sub, and Pledge packages which explain and link you to all of the "expensive" pledges. Its not rocket science, and of course they don't want to put big price tags right in your face saying give us huge amounts of money. Seems pretty reasonable.
Also the $100 buy in is a bit steep. I feel they're missing out on further pledges due to this. If they had a pledge around the $50 mark I would most likely pledge and (IMO) others would to. Setting the minimal pledge at $100 your hitting that psychological barrier that only true believers are willing to cross.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Maybe after my wounds have healed...

Besides, pretty sure they make more money than i do. They certainly don't need my cash before the final product is complete.
Luckily so far things are looking good but they'll likely have to deal with a barebones budget until launch. That said, if it has that classic EQ feel and isn't too trashy(Project Gorgon lol) the veterans will throw money at this game, me included.
So for me, after Pantheon releases with good reviews, and runs for a year or so, I'll jump in.
