You guys make it sound as if the later you start the more powerful you will be. The people with the headstart will dominate for 6 months. Then they will die and the newcomers will dominate for 3 months. Then they will die too and…

It could take 10 years to reach endgame, you are still going to be 3 months ahead of everyone else.
3 months ahead at what? How do you think that those 3 months will make a difference after launch? All those that have be…
If having a pack mule a launch is winning, if having the title of king at launch is winning, if playing 3 months earlier is winning, then yes this game is pay to win. If you think any of these will give you an advantage in game, then by all means bu…

No doubt they are very relieved that all the money and time they spend on making CoE so far, isn't going to waste.

Actually from watching the kickstarter video, it seems the strong players in game "nobility," "Kings," and so on will be the players who buy the most souls. They explain that your characters become stronger the more times you'v…

This is how I picture a fight between a "noble" with a title and a peasant without one: (Link)
Titles just give you access to soldiers, and give you the ability to make laws that sort of thing, however if that "noble" gets caught …

I don't mind equipment rewards, there has to be some incentive to invest in a kickstarter. However I've yet to see one good explanation about how buying land/titles or three month early access is not p2w. Just seems like a bun…
You need to buy the game before you play it. You can't win the game without playing it. So yes, it's play to win
What does winning mean in terms of a game like CoE?

Risk should equal Reward. Currently in CoE Risk does not Reward.
Yes there is quest hubs, why people keep thinking there is not is unknowable. Why people keep perpetuating this 'no quest hub' myth is unknowable.

We dont know what the housing mechanic will be for this game so cant debate it.
This game will supposedly have finite resources which makes a head start in this game monumentally more important. With organization and no PvP peopl…
Why wouldn't you be able to be competitive if you're not there at the first day? Is it pointless to start playing a mmorpg which has launched more that a few days ago? Is it pointless to start play an mmorpg if you have a real life and can't spend 2…
This game has PvP. Not the kind of PvP where everyone kills everyone everywhere for no reason. Not the kind of PvP where zergs capture keeps and move on to the next keep.
It's all about risk vs reward.
This is a sandbox game. Players will build …

Yeah. The choice is to pay $120 or start 3 months behind.
I've played many MMORPGs. Most of them i didn't start playing at launch. Never considered that a burden. A lot of players have more time they can spend in the…

My worry is that solo and lone wolf players and small groups may not be too happy there if different clans and guilds occupy all the places with relevant finite resources or all the decent hunting grounds. People may be forced to join…
Yanocchi said:
There will also be negative consequences for some types of players as a result of all that. I can even imagine history repeating what happened in Tibia 16-17 years ago.
That was the first MMO i ever played. I got PKed as a t…

If this was in fact the case, why not make the people who pledge the least come into the game first and then allow the high rollers to come in later and enjoy the benefits of a 3 month old populated world?
No... instead th…

But how about self defense ? Most people will hide their characters in their houses I think while afk
I guess that will depend on the risk. If you only lose what you carry on you when dying as an OPC, then you only risk so…

Sad, but true. But this is a case where the 3 month pre-population phase might come in handy. SS could make changes and adjustments based on what the poineers "discover" during that time.
Those three months are for bu…
