New Lore Update: A portion of the infected have died off and no longer spread plague! Also, information is often the most critical weapon in an outbreak, and the Searing Plague is no different; all pledged players with a Tier 2 role during the event will receive the in-game item Treating Disease and Balancing Humors, a book of basic medical knowledge. Additionally, the knowledge spread by this act reduces the plague bar by 3%!

No mocking Links of Elyria. Graphics aren’t everything! The draw of having to create new links for every single trade should not be underestimated! When I made 36 consecutive links for 5 units of cure it was an amazing experience. I mean... if we could have just made one link for 180 it would have felt so cheap. Making us transfer 5 at a time made me feel like we bonded. The fact that I got to join Discord and hear some guy talk about hitting his bong while he was playing League of Legends just made it even more special.

New Lore Update (Looks like people weren't playing Links of Elyria the way Caspien wanted so he is wiping everyone's chosen role and giving a do-over): ----------
Outbreak 50%: A lore event is triggered! The aristocracy struggles to contain the outbreak of the Searing Plague but, despite their best efforts, the infection spreads! The aristocracy, alongside nobles and those without a package, will generate plague each wave, starting with the next update! As the outbreak reaches previously unheard of levels, panic and uncertainty grip the populace: At the next update, all player roles will be reset and players who have earned roles must select them anew! ----------
I really hope he is learning from this fiasco. If this happens on the live servers with an actual game it's going to be epic.

Its been my experience in life most "free" things are either worth what you paid for them or come with hidden strings, limitations and provisos, often leading to higher costs in the long run.

Probably discovered 95% of current customers were in for over a $100 already..
Someone keeps buying all the stuff in the store....
But first ya gotta hook em with the "free" account.

I still am unable to fathom exactly what is going on with all of this.
Of course, perhaps my lack of interest in anything not related to actual game development is part of the reason why?
yah.. waiting to see how this affects the lore of the game to be honest.. but gonna bet some doughnuts that Slap won't share any good stuff about this game.
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

Lore at the very least involves some kind of story... so I must have missed it.

Likely it scrolled past the Links of Elyria spam. Don't worry. We are eagerly awaiting the 25% cure milestone and the lore event it triggers! Just a few hundred more Links and we will get there.
We are at 24.7380% now. The community is on the edge of their seats as the Plague bar is over 55% already. We are betting that Caspien intervenes and something very good will happen at the 25% milestone which gives us hope! If we can just make 2.1 million more links I am sure we can beat this thing!

Is it really letting the community write the story, if Caspien intervenes to keep the plague from getting out of hand? Might as well just let Caspien write the lore and skip the charades.

I don't think that there was much possibility for community writing the story to begin with. It was already written by Caspien that people who never signed up for this web minigame and never participated created so much plague that actual participants had no chance decide the outcome.
After that any result is written by Caspien. He's just a game designed who managed to neither create a game that would be resolved its players nor a game that would end up in a resolution he wanted.

The lack of participation indicates a large portion of backers are not actively engaged with the project. At least, that's my understanding from what I've seen/read about this little event.

Well, if the main prize is a free "basic" account it's understandable why the backers might not be much motivated to participate.

Too funny. As predicted they now let you buy more items with real money to help fight the plague!! Sorry, but I don’t know how even the most ardent supporters can defend blatant shit like this.
Cure 25%: As the race for the cure reaches the 25% mark, Vintner's Kits and Missionary supplies will provide game effects! Vintner's Kits will grant those who possess at least one with extra Purity Seals and reduces the Outbreak Bar at the daily 9am PDT reset while owning at least one set of Missionary Supplies will reduce the Outbreak Bar and increase the Cure Bar during the same daily 9am PDT reset. Finally, the Outbreak Bar will be reduced by 5%!

You have to admit. This Caspien guy is doing more to entertain us this summer than most other forms of entertainment. He's far behind the MCU, or the Incredibles, but he *may* be ahead of the DCEU.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
