Money spent on game already, BY YOU!

Love to know what people have already spent on all these little things they keep releasing I get the feeling they making more money now, than a lot of released MMOs do.

So if its not to personal. drop a ball park figure! of what you have spent (added, not what's everyone has spent, what you personally have spent, thought that was clear, obviously not from the answers)

I would say if you not actually going to answer the question, don't post, but no chance of that, people love getting their 2 pennies in! ( no pun intended)

PLEASE READ & UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION BEFORE REPLYING

Crazy, I don’t know, maybe I’m just jaded (yes I have backed loads of MMO’s on kickstarter before) but something just feels off about this to me now.

It’s seems an extreme case of milking people because they love MMO,s.

If that's how you feel then why not post that instead of this? It's better to just be direct.

I was asking a question, there was nothing hidden away in it, I did not sway it either way, or in your world is questions not allowed? not Russian are you?

Just the $1000 for the original investment on kickstarter for the leader of men package. I have been tinkering with the idea of upgrading to the royalty package recently. Not sure if I’ll commit to that or not.

You actually spent a grand on the game? worse still they had packages out there for a $1000... boggles the mind!

I spent $1000 USD on my package and purchased an extra $1600 worth of cosmetics through the years.

Release will basically be like one big gift to myself.

do you have every single cosmetic? T_T

Not even close. I ended up with maybe a third of them.

Honestly frightening this can happen, more so that’s it’s allowed, feels like they preying on peoples passions.

But hey, it’s your money your choice end of the day, I’m just not sure the choice should be there.

I did. Mind you I wouldn't drop that much on just any Kickstarter. I must like the idea and believe in the vision of what the game could be. If I do then, I investigate everyone I can that's involved with the project to see if I feel it's something they can even pull off. As a group if they have at least halfway decent experience and individually or as a group have been a part of successfully publishing at least a few games I've personally played and enjoyed or that I've heard of that were extremely popular, I'll decided to back the project.

How much depends on how much I like their vision of the final product and what "goodies" are on offer for the pledge. In the end I chose leader of men because I wanted the lifetime subscription and the Kickstarter guild exclusives. At the time I had hoped monthly subscriptions would be around $15 but expected it to be at least $20. If the game was as good as I expected then I would most likely be playing for the better part at least 10 years, at $15 a month it would be $1800 in subscription fees over that time, at $20 a month it would be $2400, so that's a either a $800 or a $1400 net positive on my investment in game time.

I do still have the option upgrade my pledge package to Royalty, Hero of the People, and Avatar of the Phoenix. Hero and Avatar are out of the question, neither of those packages offer anything I would consider worth the upgrade. The Royalty package however… I’m trying to convince myself, albeit unsuccessfully so far, that access to the Phoenix Initiative and the monthly live Q&A sessions are worth another $1500.

0 Euros.

I never pay for an unfinished game (or any product) and I will never do this in the future.

Once it is released and the design and features meet my expectations I will play it and start a monthly sub to try it out.

If they sit subs at £20, they going to have a very empty game.

I bought Alpha 2 package for $375. Haven't bought any additional cosmetics because I don't really care about it

I mean, I don't really have the money sink vices that other people might have. I don't smoke, I so vary rarely drink that a 6 pack can and has sat in my fridge for over a year on more than one occasion, outside of Kickstarter I don't gamble. Outside of special occasions I tend to not go out to eat or order out. I don't need to pay for female companionship...Well, my wife does have access to most of my accounts so maybe that one is a bit of a stretch. Happy wife, happy life. Know what I mean? A decent portion of the money people would spend on those things goes into a play money petty cash account. That's what I use for "me" things like a Kickstarter pledge or games or computer upgrades or books. 1k on Kickstarter? I'd hate to know what you think about how much I spend on books in a year.

Well on the side of being fair, I have just bought the Alpha 2 package (£120)
Although I have more doubts about this game than any other before this (that I've followed)

I mean yesterday raid boss The Dragon, it was exact same boss they showed 3 years ago, with zero changes, and they now asking for feedback on it, what was wrong with the feedback 3 years ago? as NOTHING, in regards to Dragons mechanics changed!

Why do you lie like this? Who are these performative hyperboles for? Or is your perception of reality really this warped?

Wait, what? Did you buy it AFTER making this thread? After shouting "abusive business tactics", in an "extreme case of milking people because they love MMOs." every three comments?
And immediately before posting this comment?

😂🤣😅

I mean, congrats on coming around, I think you'll have a blast with your Alpha access, but Jesus, at least stop talking smack about the existence of the product you JUST chose to buy.

Please explain how and where i lied?

Or where I shouted abuse? You know you can buy the game and still harbour serious doubts, the two are not mutually exclusive.

I wonder how long I'm going to wait for you to show this, just another fanboi!

Added following day: I’m still waiting fanboi!
