Just saying in another thread, every dodgy money raising practice from every Indie MMO seems to end up in all the others, so I assume as I don't really follow these things, that they all have them or all will.
But yes, fund raising in indie it has been ridiculous for some years now and will only get more so.
How about one very simple detail about the crafting/harvesting system -- how long will it take from planting (including land preparation) to maturity to harvesting in game terms? Convert that answer to RW time, please.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
"No guys, not this year! We've got another 8 years before that festival rolls back around!"
Otherwise, it's pretty par for the crowd funding course for the game. Has there been any progress on getting players into a client to actually play?
If we also assume you'll be harvesting certain crops once per year, that's 4 harvests per month.
I thought they had promised during KS that exposition was the only time they would be having a cash shop in order to "populate the world".
But I guess that's like 5 or 6 more before launch?

Having read more about the festival, it doesn't seem like it would include a lot of extra PvE content, but that it will fall largely to the players to create the content (weddings, trade agreements, boundary disputes, etc.). I wonder how well that will work.
But hey, not Pay-to-Win, right, guys?
Of course, there's absolutely zero specifics about how hard or easy any of this will be to acquire in-game. That would require at least some semblance of a game or even just a game document instead of just vague ideas, after all.
Don't forget, Jeromy Walsh said that CoE's development will be adequately funded as long as backers keep spending at the same rate until the game is done.
The CoE team are just making sure that backers have constant stream of new things to spend on !
Welcome to crowdfunded MMO development...
But what I can say is we will continue to keep our online store open for residual income, and we’ve already been approached by multiple publishers and investors. We’re in a good place right now financially and have more money than we expected at this point in the development process. We’re also in no rush to make deals, and are instead holding out for the right deal for us — and the right deal for you guys.
And:
Of the additional $2M – $3M, it’s our intention that all of it be covered by investors, or at least, not players.
So be careful what you believe.

"The ability to purchase anything be it seed packs or raider ships flies in the face of the stated goal above of pay to build. The persistence of these tokens removes the argument that anything purchased with real world funds would be used to build the world in Exposistion."

What is interesting is that it's not just "low tier" (yes they organize people into tiers based on their donations) but folks that are tier 7, 8 and even higher... meaning hundreds or thousands donated.
Another thing they haven't quite picked up on yet is that these tokens cannot be lost or stolen in game. It's a shame that the Ivory Tower folks have retreated from external sites (not just this one). It would be interesting to get their take. They were pretty strong defenders of "Pay To Build".
