I'm kind of confused: was this an in game event, where people were actually playing an early version of the game? If so what was the event like, other than people pouting??? Was there combat, mobs, adventure ... you know any of the gamey stuff? How did you make the plague cure bars go up and down?
Anyway, I thought they were making a minecraft version of the game first to test out the systems, is that still happening?
The game itself is discussed in another thread. It consists of a web page with 2 status bars (plague and cure) and 3 buttons you can press anywhere from every few hours to once a day.
You create links to trade trade purity and plane back and forth. It’s why it earned the nickname Links of Elyria.
But no this is not the VoxElyria minecraft game that Caspien said players could be in by last January. That we have not seen but have been assured everything is progressing reasonably on time. How that is possible as we hit Sept is incomprehensible, but I’m sure he has a Gantt chart that shows time can be bent to allow for this seeming paradox.

Wow ... that makes the whole speel about the orchestra and players pouting etc even more confusing
Yah.. the more this unfolds the more it becomes clear he is woefully unprepared for the antics that gamers will engage in.
If this game is as cut throat as he makes it off to be.. the tears will be rivers.. if it ever launches. I hope it does, because I really like some of his ideas.
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.
So in theory you can get a free acc from just clicking without paying and gambling on whether the game launches?
Yeah, still not worth it. Glad you got a free account though. Heaven knows that whatever they release in 2050 isn't gonna be worth 45 dollars.
Yeah I got a free account. As did a friend. We each produce up to 20 tokens a day. Realistically let’s say 30 combined as we do not sit to click all day. It takes 180 the tokens to get a package. Tonight or tomorrow we will have enough to get a 3rd person a free package. Then there will be 3 of us. We think we can get another 5 people accounts by the time this thing ends.
8 free accounts is not bad. Would have even been more but they weren’t interested until I showed they I actually got a free account and a Years game time.
I guess we will just pick some poor mayor’s village to start in and take it over on day 2 I hope he buys lots of goodies for his village.

That is, assuming that the things bought in the pre-pre-pre release of the game will actually change ownership. I know they *say* everything will be lootable, but no one has seen that promise in action yet. The guy that buys a boatload of goodies is likely to be protected, somehow.
I doubt if your plan will be unique, Slapshot. Day 2 of the release should be rewarding to those of us who will observe. That is, if they ever get to Day 1.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

Oh I was mostly kidding. We aren’t usually that type of player. But I do feel sorry for whoever would end up with us as citizens. I don’t see us working the farm much

Caspien talking to his backers about the Links of Elyria (sorry, not sure how to embed posting from phone, so may just be link until I can fix tonight at home):

It has been added......as has anything else anyone ever wanted. Since development for this game is made up. so can all the features.
I'm kind of confused: was this an in game event, where people were actually playing an early version of the game? If so what was the event like, other than people pouting??? Was there combat, mobs, adventure ... you know any of the gamey stuff? How did you make the plague cure bars go up and down?

Well at least we can hope that this will be a lesson to the devs, you can't rely on players to do what you want them to do.
The fact that anyone who has been in a group in a MMO, been in a guild or been in any sort of pvp could have told them that is rather worrying though.

How many times now has Caspian been unpleasantly surprised by how the community reacted to something?

Hey @Slapshot1188 just needed to correct a couple things in this thread.
1)There is 5 buttons to press not 3 (I'm assuming you missed generate and neutralise) 2)If your intending to take over someone's village you and your mates need >50% of the land to vote him out. Unless your going war, not sure they have worked out the details of that yet.
Good to see you got a free account, me and a mate are pushing for our 4th (remember we are both backers, so we had two paid for) with the generate now making 2 purity we should get that shortly. Then it's onto the 5th.
Finally and I'm sure this is just a slight typo (or the way I read it) but it sounded like you believe it will be released because you "will take over some mayor's land"
But let's be honest this game won't be out until 2025 and by then we will have better things to occupy our minds.
Tldr I'm bored and decided to moan about absolutely ridiculous stuff just because I can...
