They want mechanics that are punishing and unforgiving and they want the journey to the top to mean something more than just following quest hubs and getting to the max level to raid.
Honk honk!

It's widely agreed upon by all parties that this project took in roughly 145 thousand dollars. A large chunk of that money, 35k, came from a single individual who promised another couple hundred thousand once he cleared it with his trust. Brad was having personal problems at the time and needed to take a cash advance from the project. He took roughly three months pay in advance which equaled roughly 38% of the funds that were left. Brad thought the rest of the money would come in, but the trust supervisor declined without even looking into the project. Reason being, he didn't want to be sued if the start up failed. Brad admits that it was a mistake and wishes things worked out differently but the money is spent and there isn't anything he can do. He then went on to express that he was sorry for how it happened and is planning on liquidating personal assets to put the funds back into the project.
From an interview Brad gave on a private teamspeak server set up by a community member. If this is the spin he's putting on it, I'd hate to see how shady the actual story is.

Brad has been tweeting recently about how the game is not dead. Put some new stuff on their Facebook, just says he needs more money. Seems like he'll have to go with different developers if anyone even trusts him again.

He's just openly asking people to donate money to his drug habit at this point.

He should take on twice as many people, but part time. Some he won't have to pay - there's thousands if not millions of programmers out there willing to work for free (when they can spare the time) - the experience alone is priceless.

Once a year or so passes, and they can show something tangible to an investor, then maybe it will move forward.

Its time to make him able to branch out combat wise.
