@Girlxs To be brutally fair and honest with you: no, it was not the right decision.

Pledging so much to a game after watching just 2 minutes of gameplay and seeing that someone said that the game is promising? This is how you get early access baited for a game that is never coming out. It's the recent trend in scummy dev strats and a gamer nowadays should be very vigilant with what they buy in to.

But Fractured is not that. I, as well as hundreds others, believe in devs' vision of the game and trust that with our funding they can truly create if not outstanding than at lease an above average game.

You simply got lucky. In the future please do your research before making such decisions

TL;DR: wrong choice, would've been right if OP did their homework and researched the game before buying it

@Gothix Isn't carpenter and VIP 2 separate things? If not then why would they be put together on every single pledge package info box? I don't know how it actually works but from what I gather it just feels like 2 separate entities to me.

@PeachMcD What's the problem with multi-governors?
On top of that I think that it's still possible for guilds to have proxy governors that are just transmiting for the de facto governor so that doesn't help that much.

@klarens I think it's pretty obvious but yes. In I understand it correctly with VIP you will be getting Dynamight gold rather than the cosmetics themselves, so it would be extremely unreasonable to take that gold away or trace your purchases and roll them back.

@Diablo Actually having multiple currencies could be very fun but that's off topic.
What the thread originaly was about is that the in-game currentcy and the microtransaction currency both sound quite alike which could easily cause some bad publicity based on misunderstanding.

...which is possible at the moment as long as I don't join a militia...

@Psymantis That's not exactly how it works, I'd even go as far as to say that it's quite the opposite. Not having a guild/city/group/whatever associated with you only means that if the big bad guy PKer killed you or ganked you with his party there would be no greater repercussions for them, when having a well-known guild tag before your name can turn away some PK, especially if they risk ruining their standing with your guild because they base/operate on or close to your territory.
Of course I'm not saying that there are no people that would seek you out and PK just because of your guild association, but that's a really tough choice to make, either way you'll be getting killed if you're not careful.

@Nekrage Welcome and have fun!
If you're just starting exploring Fractured concept ideas, then I'd recommend you start with reading all the dev newsposts: you can finds them in the News section of the main website.
After you're done with that watching the last 2 QnAs is great fun, but after that you're basically done: they best source for new info is dev posts/replies on the forum or in their official discord.

@Luckycharms I mean I wanted to go in deep on my #1 but if you want top, here you go:

1. Complex social gameplay: towns, guilds and so much more fun stuff
2. I think endgame PvM should be fun given the MOBAesk mechanics
3. PvP, this kinda ties in #1 because how many PvP opportunities arise from the different social elements and mechanics
4. Just the room to min/max your characters with all the racial specifics and transformations, different stats, skill trees and the variety of abilities
5. The community. So many great people all in one plays waiting for this one single game. I just love this community. Even though we are small (which is temporary, believe you me), it's the quality that matters.

@Tuoni Yeah with the recent influx of new players I noticed a couple of cases where the two got confused. This can easily cause some bad word of mouth publicity and hurt the game in it's current vulnerable state. I really think that if underestimated and not given a timely rework this may end up in a, let's just say, suboptimal way.

@Farlander

Demon planet will be desolate and the players there will be complaining on the forums they have too few players to murder/gank. They will be arguing in the forums to add more open pvp to the other lands.

Actually I think that adding more incentive for nonPKers to be on Tartaros might be good: it will both increase the avg player density and give more things for demons to do in their PvP-free time
This will be very difficult though as ballancing this out will be a nightmare.

@egonaraujo This is all dandy but taxes are not fun. Money sinks are way better realized as fast travel cost, price to pass trough a gate to some PvM dungeon or just repair costs for gear. In fact devs have already droppen a lot of info on gold sinks like: housing upkeep costs, town NPC costs, other town upkeep expenses and much more.
So we're good on that part, no need to add an artificial tax to p2p trading

@TheSlaya The game really is promising, it's definitely worth sticking around!
So glad to see the insane influx of new players these last couple of days

@Clinion This actually sounds like quite a fun idea ngl.
How will the conversion rate be figured out though? Because having currency exchange NPCs would just be agains the p2p free trade concept.

Dear Dynamight,
I think it would be reasonable to suggest you reconsider how you call either one of in-game currencies, because currently they sound pretty similar and to a player newly introduced to the game "Gold" and "Dynamight Gold" may look exactly the same.
You can see how this would cause unwarranted drama and misunderstanding and harm both the community and the game in general by spreading factually incorrect info.

@Tuoni While it is true and the system is fundamentaly broken and works agains player, as long as there is free trade in the game, there will be black markets that are selling in-game gold for irl currency, this is just how it goes unfortunately.

@Gothix But we still need good incentives to go through the hustle of actually prepping and doing it. If there is no fat cashstack at the other end no one will actually be doing this.

@Katushh Welcome, it's set to start on May 26th for backers and in May 28th for everyone else if memory serves me right

@Loyheta Welcome, that's a really cool mindset to be in!
As far as the transformation mechanics, they can make the meta for sertain things very.. interesting.. but we'll have to wait and see about that

Congrats

@Tuoni Actually the fact that you can buy Albion silver for irl money may be considiered a good thing. The fact that you can buy Premium with silver (as far as I can remember) means that it's already tied to real currency and if the game didn't offer to buy silver itself, there would be a lot of RWT (Real World Trading) problems that are 100x times worse.
Not to say that Albion's monetization is good, it's just not
