Informal Petition Against Buying Into Early Velious

[Solb]

Early access on this game granted by paying a small fee in the big picture means nothing. Nothing! Who cares! If you want to get in early, pay the fee! If not, that's fine too. People granted early access are not going to gain some huge advantage over anyone else! It simply doesn't matter.

Wait when 3 years from now you are going to pray for luclin release. This 3 day head start wont mean a damned thing. Trust me, Velious will be here for a while.

Says the guy with 8700 posts outside rnf.

Red RNF counts posts... take it from me.

Frankly everyone here can afford to donate 60$ to Pantheon instead of the next new WoW clone or terrible Diablo 3 expansion.

Troll.

I havent received my check yet. Will be glad when it gets here.

Obviously I wouldn't expect anyone to admit it. I'm sure everyone is just so enthusiastic about a kickstarter for a game that isn't coming out for likely 4+ years that they felt like donating their time and resources to promote and make someone else money.

EDIT: I AM NOT BASHING, WHY NOT CROSS PROMOTE AND MAKE A LITTLE $$$ TOO, THE SERVERS/SERVICE ISN'T FREE I GET THAT

this. not going to make a single bit of difference 1 month into release.

I feel like an ass since I've posted this 10 times and I'm repeating myself in every thread that mentions the $$ rewards, but apparently it's not getting read. Anyways, I'm not sure what EverQuest you played where having an opportunity to get your entire Velious geared raid force into WW an hour or more before another guild can get their Kunark geared raid force into WW isn't an advantage. And yes, getting quest armor, Kael armor, ToV armor, and ST keys will make a difference a month into Velious, that's what gear advantage is all about. That's why people raid competitively in the first place.

It's disappointing that the GMs just don't understand what a big deal this is. Advantages aside, it totally cheapens the fun of launching a new expansion.

Signed, this whole concept is still gross to me. Don't care much about exp pots or guises even though that is weird too, wish they would have just left it at that instead of marring the launch of Velious.

You're assuming that people will be able to get an entire raid force geared, keyed, and ready to go in 3-7 days. You're also assuming that guilds will have an entire raid force paid for early access, instead of a handful of people. While the may be possible, it's not likely. Even if it does happen, how does this affect the server 1 month into Velious?

TIL guides don't care about server firsts.
