  Just got home... Looks like they ... ran into some additional issues
  
  

  Update 2:30 PM PDT

  Our merchant/gateway has instituted new security protocols which has blocked us from doing our final validation / testing, and is rejecting all credit card processing. They're aware of the issue, and have given us a 24-hour service window to get it fixed. In the mean time, we're doing additional work to alter the experience so it works without our merchant.

  We'll open the store today for people who over-paid previously or who had merchandise credits so they can purchase add-ons or upgrade their pledges with credit if that's what they want to do. Once they get the gateway working again, we'll alter the experience so we can accommodate those purchasing with credits in the meantime. We felt like that was the best solution given the circumstances.

  Again, we'll let everyone know an hour before we initiate deployment of the store! Hang tight.

  Thanks for the updates.  Hope they get this worked out.

  OK. Store has launched with limited functionality.  Apparently there was an issue with their vendor and they cannot process payments.  If you had credit left over from the Kickstarter you can spend it, but that's about it.   They say the other functionality should come today.
  
  
  Of note-  they have removed the delivery dates for the product.  I found that interesting.

  Also interesting is they show $1,216,203 as the "Total Collected Towards Goal" but the Kickstarter page shows $1,361,415.  According to their Kickstarter they unlocked the $1,350,000 Stretch goal.
  
  Wonder if that is related to their new No Refunds statement.  That's about an 11% decrease.  First thing I thought about was that for some reason they deducted Kickstarter fees(not sure why they would..), but even that would only be 5%

  Hmm, usually the opening of the "cash shop" in a MMO isn't cause for such interest.
  
  Oh that's right, it's a "store"

  One could definitely put up a good argument.
  

  Well yeah, you kind of need to have a working game before a cash shop can really be offered.

  I'm a little surprised no one raised holy-hell over here when the store didn't come out perfect in the first hour...

  Like shooting fish in a barrel, it's just not fun anymore.
