Intrepid studios year in review (2017)

Hello again everyone, I decided to take a moment to step out from hiding to make a post I had been excited to make
This past year has been a long one what follows in a compilation/timeline of events to make for easy access to any of you who'd like to take a journey back and take a peer into what happened in 2017. Over the course of 2017 Ashes of Creations/Intrepid Studios has brought together this huge excited community, one that had been aching for an MMO where a player felt valued in the realm of the game, where every action had some level of importance, and where someone could feel wanted/important in the community. Though this ever growing community I've made a lot of new friends, there have been some rough spots, but they were there the whole time, for the laughs and the sad parts, and I am truly thankful to have met them, as well as I am beyond excited to see what more lies ahead. I decided I'd make this post for anyone who maybe missed some of the early events of the year, or for those who just wanted the easy access. I ended up cutting out some information and segments that I originally wanted to put in, but due to this post already being delayed I figured I'd put it out as is, and possibly edit stuff in later. I'm also sorry if I missed something that happened this year that you really loved, I can always edit in those as well. If you take the time to look back at all the previous events, I hope you feel the same nostalgia I felt when I did so to make this post.
January 11, 2017: On this day marks their first huge reveal of the year, previously they had shown short reveals of the landscape/environment in Dec 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RshdOyXyU4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJHkXEk3SDI . In a Q/A video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGepb_OZLhQ , Steven along with Peter, Jeff, and Matt gives us all some insight into an upcoming game of theirs, they talk of a dream they see where the MMO genre is truly made great again, one where they players feel important in their identity and in the outcome of their world/game. This is where we get to hear on their Node system and their ideals.

May 1, 2017: Intrepid studios announces their kickstarter as well as they reveal more on their project, we learn about the masterminds behind the game, the different races of Verra, and their 4 pillar system that use when designing their game. A kickstarter that ran for a month, and was one of the fastest ever funded MMORPG, making $750,000 in under 12 hours. A craze caused simply by word of mouth between people excited to see a game like Ashes, become a reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vut1tIsfoww&t= Throughout the month of may we see many streams, showing off the world as well as some mechanics in the game such as the monster coin mechanic.
