We're getting way too much as it is right now with these pledges. There shouldn't be any physical in game items much less mounts. Start me off naked with a stick or club I have to find on the ground. I'm just happy I could donate and help the development of this game without any third party interference messing it up.
I agree. I think the best way to incentivize an early game purchase or support is just a little discount and maybe test access. Not big on the in-game stuff, but I think when they originally put the packages together, they did it a little spur of the moment. They actually went back and removed a few of the items they came with when people expressed concerns about p2w. Visionary Realms listens.
2016.10.17 Pantheon http://pantheonmmo.com/ pledge options http://www.pantheonmmo.com/join/ Cheapest beta access was the "keeper" @ us$100 with two retail copies of the game, a bigger bag and an additional char slot. The us$50 "watcher" is just a single copy of the Pantheon on retail release (? 2018) and a name reservation (now if still avail) as of Sept 12, 2016. "Knight" and "patron" tiers to be discontinued, as they are 'nearing capacity for alpha invites.' Now for alpha access one needs the us$250 "champion" pledge; 2 retail copies, bag, and a 3 month subscription (? ~ $45 value). Lifetime subscription cost us$10,000 "Ascendant" pledge with pre-alpha access (pre-alpha acces is avail at us$1000 "Originator" pledge, NDA and non compete [not work for other game companies] req.)
Supposedly McQuaid is against microtransactions, additional char (alts and extra storage) slots from store likely us$15 each! So far, i can not find any "official" mention how many character slots a Pantheon subscriber starts out with.
Shared bank from moderator 'This will be something we decide on a bit later...' (as of Aug 16, 2016) 'for now it is bank space per char...' testing and feedback will determine actual size and availability. (! crafting harvestables) 'There will be class/race restrictions which will follow our game lore...' 'We will have more information on testing when we get closer to it being ready but for now, there is nothing to share as it may change based on our developmental and testing needs, remember, this will be focused testing until we release a beta client, then it will be more open and flexible.' 'We do not have a set number yet but that will be something we decide on a bit further down the track when we get closer to launch as we do not (sp) want to (sp) restrict character slots for testing but we will announce it once we have a definite number for you all.

Though the Pantheon moderator (Kilsin) indicated they are 'still a way off yet' for pre-alpha testing.
and 'subscriptions to the forums no longer contribute to pledge' but 'Payment plans, however, allow you to pay off a pledge over time.'
