What happened with the previous demos?! This is not even the same aesthetic as the parkour, combat nor the very first demo showing weather, aging system and the inventory system.
Honestly, it only looks like a 2007 browser game. And I'm being nice.
Game is not even in Alpha yet. I am sure that by the time this thing gets to release (if ever, have SEVERE doubts) that there will be plenty of Kingdoms who's players have left. Maybe even Kings.
Seriously, who buys and picks land YEARS before a game releases? This is what happened with Revival, and then they folded. Same Lead Designer... Hmmm...

From the look of the demo it seems to be approaching Greedmonger level quality already.

Pre-alpha graphics are place holders so we can test mechanics while they work on art. I've seen delivered promises in recent videos - such as questing, and persona and identity which is a big part of how the deviants, costumes, and crime / bounty hunting system will work. While I cannot say much more due to NDA... as a high level backer from 2015, and before kickstarter, I am happy to say I regained my faith in soulbound studios recently. The project is really coming together and I think the NPC dynamics will be out of this world.
That looks worse than Albion online, Jesus. If there was a basic bitch looking game, that would be it. Someone get that game a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.
BTW what happened to this?

Actually if they are showing something of substance to the higher level backers its good to know and helps to explain the continued and enthusiastic financial support, thanks for the update.

I point you to these very forums where high level backers (King even) said the exact same things:
Plenty of others going further back. We heard all about "NDA Stuff" with VoxElyria (canceled) and ElyriaMud (canceled).
I also found it interesting that this exact same non-event (4 players "rebelling" against a "king" on a forum 2+ years before a game releases is on multiple sites (Like MassivelyOP). Did someone actually think this was good publicity and spam all the MMORPG sites? Wow... if that doesn't speak to the state of the game...
So much for Caspien's statement that he was banning MMORPG.COM and MassivelyOP and would take all his updates to PCGamer. Looks like the last CoE article on PCGamer was June 2016.
Caspien declared that "This year, we are the storm." Well, we are 2/3 through the year. Is the storm really 4 players on a forum made a post that they didn't like their absent "King"?
Where is the actual playtest with players?

Exactly my point. They already had demos way better than this years ago
As the Harbingers pointed out years ago (but was denied by the Ivory Tower), there was no actual game behind those demos. They were simply avatars walking around.

This is starting to remind me of that one game that was full of deception and lies that a mmorpg.com member posted on that ended up becoming one of the longest threads ever here. Anyone remember the name or have the link to it?!

250 backers and collectively $60 000 pledged means on average those players have already pledged $240 to the game.

Pretty sure that $60k is just the Dukes. At least that is what was written: During this time all 4 of the dukes have expanded their communities, becoming 3/4 the population of Kairos and increased their support of CoE to more than $60,000 collectively.

Can you imagine shelling out 10k and have your intelligence insulted by this animated pile of turds and feeling kind of obligated or brainwashed to praise the buffoons that have put that farce of a video together in the holy name of "progress is being made on the game" ?
I get pre-alpha and tech demos. I wouldn't think twice about it if this was in the first 6 months of development. I wouldn't think twice if better looking material hadn't been shown before. But after all this time, this is what they have to show ? Man, even Brad looks great with Pantheon right now...and with 2 873 433 times less drama.
Then again, what should we expect from people that spend 3-4 months worth of time and resources drawing basic maps...

I think you're right.
My mistake for assuming that it must mean the whole community because average of $15 000 per duke would be insane amount of money.

I think there is a Duke called GhettoMaster (what a perfect name for this game) that has spent like $40k alone... probably more by now as that was years ago. These 4 better start getting serious or they are going to be left in the dust by the more "dedicated" Dukes.
