Phoenix Initiative

As a supporter who pledged 2,500 USD I was wondering Is it possible that we get more info on the Phoenix Initiative?

On the stream Steven said the Phoenix initiative is where we can find the GMs doing their daily activities and on the kick starter it says it offers everything the real world does. Does this mean we can go here and grind,quest etc etc. Will this be an exact replica of the world we play in, an "upside down" world or merely a place where we can have tea parties and chat with the GMs?

It would be nice if you could talk further into this
Thank you :)

Steven answered this question for me in Discord this morning.

@Steven can you explain what the phoenix initiative is :)?
is this just a hang out spot or a place we can actually get stuff done in</code></pre>

@Nam it's a hangout spot but also has services you would find spread out in the node, but centralized in the club. With potential for unique cosmetics that may be limited or seasonal, available to the club members for purchase or production at all times</code></pre>

    I read it just as an area like a 'tavern' type place you could chat to GM's etc. Any kind of place you could play the game and accrue xp/resources with almost no other players around is nothing but pay 2 win in my eyes.

    Btw congrats and I'm immensely jealous at not having a good enough job + few enough commitments to afford it myself :)

    From what I took from it, the Phoenix Initiative is going to be a private, instanced location which has limited access. I'd assume that it's a place to relax and hang with the GMs as they check statistics about the server. It'll probably be the kind of place where, like you said, you can have tea parties.

    I doubt it would have anything like grinding or questing, though - if it were, than it would provide a more exclusive option to people that pay money, which could be P2W. And that, obviously, is off limits.

    Think of it like a penthouse crib or club. That's sort of the vibe I got. Exclusive and high class shindig.

    I had assumed everything you guys are saying was the case what threw me off was that the kick starter states "it will simply offer what the world does in a more personal space. ". Which led me to believe I could do everything in the real world in this Phoenix Initiative world. More info would definitely be appreciated.

    @Xephita
    I feel you lucky for me I'm just a full time college student with a internship that pays really well combined with the fact that I have no bills. I'm really jealous of the people who are able to dish out 5,000 though :( I really wanted the aura.. maybe if this KS was 2-3 months long I could get it :|.

    I was thinking about doing it, but I'm not sure I'm willing to invest that much cash without a real idea of what this means. So hopefully we get more information about the plan before the campaign ends.

    Here's everything we've been told so far:

    • It's going to be a place, maybe multi-server, maybe per server.
    • Devs will hang out there. GMs are likely.
    • There will be exclusive Phoenix Initiative cosmetics placed out for PI members to take.
    • It is a Kickstarter exclusive backer reward.

    Other games have had items spaces like this where you could interact with GM/Dev level personnel. After a few months though you generally will never see them again as they eventually change or create a new space for them to log into so they can stop being bothered.

    If anyone plans to pledge to these levels and puts value in the Phoenix Initiative just understand that in six months from game launch you are likely to be the only person who is ever in there.
