They rely on kickstarter because they dont have to pay real investors a damn dime and can keep all the profit!
Thats how bigger companies now exploit kickstarter.

Mark Jacobs (who worked on DAoC and WAR) said, that if they can get 2 million through kickstarter, he gonna throw in his own 2 million into it, and they get the rest through investors.

i think its a great way to see, if there is a interest for the game. And seeing as you get the game + a month sub for a 25$ participation, its also a rather fair one. Personally, i wouldn't be surprised if this particular kickstarter will reach or exceed 5-10 million $

I rly doubt EA was the sole reason WAR failed.

I guess i just dont trust him anymore.
WAR could have been a great game and his stubbornness (at least what I read from his own posts) drove it into the ground until people could not take it anymore. I think I had more fun on WAR than I did anything post-EQ.
he was also the guy who said long before DAoC beta started that class balancing was pretty much done as they already had balanced the classes when designing the game. He is and will always be a complete and utter retard.

Famous old game developer starts kickstarter, he has made awesome games in the past, shows artwork and talks about what the game will have and states its DRM free = 2 millions in like 1 week guaranteed.
Then some indie developer with shitloads of very nice ideas and actual gameplay from some alpha build = no success.
Now for the game itself, meh. Never liked style of DAoC.

Yeh it's a shame really. Especially when this one has a big chance of tainting crowd funding.
Everyone is going "ooh new DAOC", it wont be a DAOC and people will be very disappointed.
And somehow I just don't believe him, like he has no real passion to create something that a publisher wouldn't back. Sounds more like a way to make more for themselves then anything.
That being said, I can be totally wrong (and rather be that tbh) but he's giving me a bad vibe. The same vibe that an EA person gives me when talking about their new game. |

Maybe it rubbed of on him then or he learned their ways 
Serious: He probably isn't the person he used to be when he was working on DAOC. And in all honesty I don't even know him from that time so can't say if he was brilliant or not.

Yeey finally less spam and obnoxious posts on every other game forum \o/
Good thing, when it finally gets released the community will be a bit more mature so they wont harm the game as much as the kickstarter campaign xD

Well a bit is just a slight increase in my book. Then again, wont be my problem: never wanted the game  And still don't have high beliefs in it.
But for everyone involved I hope I'm wrong. Even for the obnoxious litte twerps (keeps more out of my games ).

If ONLY it would go free to play, i'd probably hop back in. But out of question i'll pay a monthly sub rofl.
Sure. good luck with that
