Kickstarter backers and new upgrades
First off, as soon as I saw the first video on this at the start of the kickstarter I donated. I have high hopes that AOC will finally bring the mmorpg industry out of the stupid instance grind and take full advantage of the massive open world. That being said, I have a few questions.
1. Does the current item for sale in the store upgrade what I already have via kickstarter?
2. Will kickstarter backers have access to alpha or beta?
3. Are there any inspirations the developers are pulling from?
4. How are the devs going to combat population control that plagues many open world pvp focused MMOs?
5. How are classes traditionally required for PVE, but bad for PVP (i.e. tank), going to be viable in pvp?
6. Will there be a physics engine making characters solid or will we walk through each other?
7. I hate instances and short cuts as well as automatic looking for group mechanics, are those in AOC?
8. I want people to be able to make mistakes or be evil so I can be the good guy in return, is this possible in AOC?
I'm sure I have a million more questions that will be answered over time, but I thank the community up front for their shared knowledge and excitement!

6. Character and spell collision in game. To be adjusted during testing to alleviate griefing/blocking aspects.
7. Limited instancing. No auto groupfinder, no fast travel. More info on forums and related sites.
8. Corruption mechanics for PKers and bounty hunting available on release.
Like, I am still able to upgrade my pledge and I just paid for an upgrade the other day. Unless you mean something that I am totally missing.
