    You mentioned people asking about final wipes. Have the developers given any response or info on that?

    One thing I noticed that I don't like the sound of is that premium subscription status is on a per character basis. Is this the type of game where you only really need one character?

    If you buy one of the founders packs is there a safe place to store the loot before you go out and get ganked? It would piss me off to create a character and then immediately have all my stuff stolen the first 15 minutes I'm trying to figure things out.

    Can you get your horse stolen or killed?
    At first I hated this but then it made more sense to me.  You can pay with it with in game currency, which apparently at the moment is not too hard. (These things can always change which is why I am not in love with "premium" etc.

    It does increase your dependence on others for higher tier play, but because your premium character will have a boost you can cover a lot more skills / areas of the game.  I found at the beginning of the game that having premium meant that I harvested WAY too may resources that I could then sell for silver. . which then might pay for premium?  Maybe on a second character and I pay cash for the first?

    It is waaay too early for me to comment on how much it impacts later in the game but I would imagine even though I play "casually" (more than I should though), I will not mind it.  I will really only want to level one character likely with more skills than several with a focus that are not premium.  It won't give me any advantage to get it on a second character since you only play one at a time anyway.  It is not like a skill point buy system where you earn points and unlock stuff.  If I want a skill I can level it as fast on my main as I could on a secondary character if I am not mistaken.

    Is there a cap on the number of things you can unlock?  From what I can tell the cost just gets really high to get higher tiers so you are better to focus in one area.  Playing a second character or your main to level something doesn't seem that it would make a difference unless you have a clone to play both at once :)  I could be wrong on this though.

    Just logged in for the first time.  Won't play much, just wanna get a feel.  Gotta admit, that it's managed to grab me pretty quickly.  I really like the art style and the interfaces are well done.  Wasn't sure I would like the top down feel, but took to it surprisingly quickly.  Yep.  Looking forward to this one.  

    Did have one question.  Since there is a wipe, do I still lose my founders stuff, if it gets lost.   Should I just leave it in mail until after wipe?

    I believe all gold you purchase or spend in beta are also restored at launch.

    Just read that gold purchased with Silver will not be restored, makes sense :)

    Noice. How is the game? I really wanted to check it out but something in my gut is telling me to wait. I don't like this milking they are doing with founders pack and extending more and more the betas.
    So  you would rather have a buggy game??/ That mean the game is not ready yet, if they are delaying the game and using more beta's...That is smart....If they didn't do that, you people would whining, the game is buggy and laggy!!! wah, wah wah....

    Also it will be buy to play so I am not sure it will be any cheaper after the betas.

    It looks like a very interesting game.

    I'll wait and see what impact monetization has directly on game play......after it formally releases ofc.

    Albion Online is the only game (out of 4 or 5) that I don't regret backing.
