8. What business model does Fractured follow?

Fractured follows a “buy to play” business model. This means that a single initial purchase gives you permanent access to the game, without any content restriction!

On top of that, the game features an Item Store selling cosmetic perks and an optional VIP membership.

9. VIP membership? What's that about?

VIP membership is a monthly subscription planned to be priced around $10/month. It provides the following perks:

Discounts on Store items

Unique cosmetic rewards for accumulated VIP time

Other vanity rewards we might think of in the future

Additional study slots

Increased Knowledge Point gains

10. Is VIP membership "Pay to Win"?

Fractured characters are already competitive from day 1. The core of progression afterwards consists of completing tasks requiring you to travel and perform a wide range of exploration- and experimentation-related activities.

The bonuses from VIP membership have nothing to do with the above, since they only impact the passive “studying phase” that kicks in once the tasks have been completed. Moreover, they've been balanced so that they only speed up progression for "completionists" who want to learn a ton of abilities (beyond what's actually useful for each character). Because of this, VIP membership ultimately has no impact on actual PvP competition, not between individuals nor between guilds.

@kongthemonkeyking Please make a proper guild thread in the guild recruitment section instead.

@muker They probably accept Russian as well.

@muker It can be done if there's sufficient interest.

@muker I don't know if that's possible.

@muker The devs have nothing to do with how Gamepedia is run. It's a 3rd party website.

@zidroc I've changed the title to something more appropriate.

@sintu I shall move it to the welcome section then.

@lohen It's the cash shop currency. Eventually you'll be able to buy cosmetic skins, cosmetic pets, etc with it.

@wolfkomodo46 You should have your points now.

@jellyfish You can't download Fractured yet. You can find the roadmap here.

@dyeliot

The way the camera is in the game play on the video's that you see, is that the only camera view?

Yes. Fractured is an isometric game. You can only zoom in/out, not change the camera angle.

Also can a player do all crafting classes or not? I was wondering because I like to do different crafting in a game and was not sure if that was possible here.

Yes, you can do everything on one character.

Will all the trees and other things in the wild be "harvested" or not?

I don't know if every object you will see in the wild will be harvestable, but yes you can cut down trees, mine rocks, etc.

Is there a place on the website to read more about the races, classes and other things like that?

There are no classes. I suggest you read the Feature Spotlights in the news section.

The economy is player based right?

Yes.

Will the best gear in the game be player made or drops?

Player-made.

@lilithdragonflower Are you using a script blocker? It might be blocking the payment window.

As for the timeframe, here's a roadmap.

@lilithdragonflower The rewards from the store packages are identical to the rewards from the KS packs.

1. Are current pledge packs going to stay forever?

No. Current packs are a replica of the pledges of our Kickstarter campaign, and will eventually be phased out to be replaced by different offers. Some of the most exclusive rewards, such as lifetime VIP, will stop being available once we hit Alpha.

@gofrit If you're talking about a funding tracker, that's coming soon.

@golden Give it a day or two. Newsletter are now sent based on when you're most likely to read it. That means different people will receive the newsletter at different times during the day.

@thegreatelleon The owner of the crafting building can choose to give other players access.

@jonzeramb The devs haven't announced a specific day yet. You can find the roadmap here.

Good catch, I've informed Prometheus about it. The gold badge might have been a mistake on Kickstarter though, because the Patron pack has the gold badge as a reward as well.

@assassino We can't yet. The funding tracker is coming later.
