Thanks for streaming ^^
You mean $20? Even if it was$40 its worth it.
The greed is real.
early access but it is out 24/7 and acting like it is a finished released game,so the EA tag is at this point meaning what?
Just in case someone comes around and says the game is not that good,we can say "hey it's early access".When YOU the developer feels it is worth 40 bucks,it is no way an EA game,it is a finished product up for sale.Every single game ever made on this planet could claim EA if they plan on adding anything at a later date,Wow...FFXIV could both claim to be EA.
This simply is a game with a set price tag,to construe definitions in any way would be an injustice to the truth,it is not a pledge ,it is not EARLY access,it is a game for sale ,$40 bucks and you can play it.
How much value would i put on the game ?definitely no where near 40,to me it is worthless until it is officially released and not under the FAKE guise of EA.Then when they are willing to stand behind their game as a finished ...quality product ,i will dissect it and give it a value rating, a so called worth.
I can tell you right now,it looks really low budget,so it is never going to be worth more than 10-12 bucks.A year from now they will be begging for people to play it.At $40 it's worth right now is 1/10.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
AMEN

This gets thrown around way to loosely , all these guys were way late to UO party , and just worked there , mostly after 2005 , UO DEVOLPERS Garriot , Long and co . laid all the ground work, and honestly as a player of UO for goin on 20 years , The content and development went down hill after they left , Thru the 2000s the bastardization of Britannia grew each year to nauseum levels (FFS there Elves lol), Only the ground work that the real developers(Garrito LOng and co.) laid is what still keeps UO faithful there and Britainia alive ....ANd from my experience , and still giving the benefit of Alpha and on the fence , Shards is no UO .............nope
I got shards online "million years" ago. I want to supp indie games. But asking for 40$ all the time for a product that is clearly not even close to be finished... Maaaan.... My support goes only as far as me paying. But I cant recommend it to more friends. Price tag is the sole reason!
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

I hold out some hope for Shards , but at this point im still pretty skeptical..
And what is the few and the many , Garriot ,Long and Koster are what made UO what it is/was/and continues to hold onto today , anyone else really just added to or maitenenced there work , or some cases completley butchered and abolished there work ..
Wild Tera is closer to a UO clone today than Linkrealms has ever been , and SHards needs to stand on its own merits altho i do see the UO and NWN connections it feels more a hybrid of the 2 which may be a good thing in the end for it
Am I willing to pay $40 dollars to test it out, no. I already have lots of games to play even though I'm always open to playing another that fits my playstyle. Would I try it if they had a open alpha or beta, yes, because it looks interesting. I would even consider buying it after launch if I read good things about it from player reviews.

I would say that it is you who needs to STFU. What do you think who gave you the right to prevent anyone from speaking their mind??? What is this, nazi Germany of forums? Anyone has the right to moan about the price of the game when most games are f2p. Learn to live with opinions of others or go offline.

I don't know what IRE means sorry,,,lol i am an old fart.
It is not that i can say at least from my standpoint that i hate the game,it is simply not good enough.
I would say and again not speaking for anyone else but the $40 price tag brings about some distaste in the mouth.
What they are doing is seeing if they can fish people in,eventually they will realize that 40 is way overboard.
If they would ask fair value then it would go ever much better,instead this labels the developer as a con artist and will chase more away than it brings in closer.I like good fair honest people if i don't see that,then i get not angry but unhappy.
