Super ambitious project, but I'm pretty sure it'll end up being a game where lone wolves get ganked left and right by the no-lifers that are inevitably drawn to these type of games.

So i believe this game is supposed to be launching in a few months, original kickstarter said late 2018.

So who bought into the alpha/beta and hows the game?

Yeah, any updates?

Looks like they’re sticking to the monthly charge which is a pain but who knows maybe it will keep the clowns away.

single shard serer run by dev.
a monthly fee is to be expected. but it does look promising

So just found and read the updates on the devs website, they are going all SC on us and have now pushed launch back 2 years, now its 2020 estimated launch they havent even started alpha yet. LOL.

I swear its like impossible for any kickstarted video game to hit their launch time. Pretty damn sad when you havent even launched the alpha by the time you told everyone the game would be out.

Meh, does any game get completed on schedule?
By now everyone should know the risks EA/kick starter.

Most get alot closer than 2+ years out. The last 2 games i kickstarted, both from HBS, shadowrun and battletech got within 6 months of esitmated date, which i think is reasonable, when you get into years late i think is when you draw the line from being reasonable to being a cash grab.

Looks like EVE 2, so probably a great game that will consume your soul.
