Upon completion of a successful kickstarter, the trend is to continue fundraising via a game store selling off pieces of the packages that were offered during the kickstarter. Crowfall is no different and the store continues to get new things added to entice new players to invest.

Maybe someone can do the same for the KS packages. 5 days left to upgrade or buy additional.
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

It is becoming incredibly sad to see whole articles dedicated to how you can pay for a game that isnt out yet.
Between this and Star Citizen they have both lost what hype I had by trying too hard to sell me stuff and not hard enough to sell me the game.
I dont mind spending money, but I want to be sold the idea, the vision, not feel like I am in a car showroom.
I actually had a problem with the value of the Crowfall KS. I felt like it was overpriced compared to what I've come to expect. What is that expectation? Well, I find that the $20-$25 digital copy is pretty normal, and fair, for something that you're taking a risk on. I mean what's the price going to be at release? I'm sure I will be able to pick it up on Steam at that price or close at launch, or wait on a steam sale and pick it up for a deeply discounted rate, compared to $40 bucks!
The Bard's Tale IV has actually been the polar opposite. So when I kickstarted BT4 within the first 24 (and the 48) hours of the start of the campaign, I got my choice of one of 3 games (one of which is very new). Then, they have another promo that nets me the previous 3 BT games, PLUS for those at a higher level the 2 Ultima Underworld games. I mean the value is so good that it actually makes me feel a little guilty for only dropping $20 into it. I don't think you need to go to that extreme, but it certainly DOES go a long way to making you feel like you spent your money well.

The KS price actually was exactly in the range (or arguably much lower) that you described as "pretty normal, and fair", since The Earliest Bird was, for only 30$, giving beta 2 access, digital copy (it, additionally, turned into permission to write on forums meantime), 1 month of VIP (sub, 15$), Pack Pig (10 or 15$ in the cash shop currently, CBAed to check) together with some other forum/ingame rewards.
So, it`s very far from "compared to 40 bucks" for digital copy and especially "overpriced", no mater how you turn it. Bit offtopic, but even post-KS one can get, for $38 (that`s for non-KS backers - comparatively very "bad" deal) digital copy, beta 2, forum access etc.
The parcel numbers in that chart are wrong though. I know for Ruby I have 30 parcels, not 20. Didn't the parcel numbers increase with a KS stretch- or backer goal?

Confirmed, that`s exactly what I did to compare with post-KS bundles in that post upthere.
