I don't know what the heck this game is or what the heck this post is about but i think i need this Online MMO drama in my boring life. What game is this ?
It's not a game yet. It's one allegedly being made that is mostly off the rails. But that won't stop them from selling you things in it.
True, not a game yet, but oh the drama is near priceless.

You probably just gave him an idea for something else he can sell right now before there's a game.
He should have sold $7 refrigerators like Bethesda. Word is those are big with the hapless fleecees (or is that feces). Have you ever noticed how some of the biggest critics of some games are also the biggest knob gobblers and shills for others?
Not speaking of you specifically, but seeing your comment here reminded of the virtue signalling in the Bethesda thread. I've seen the flip-flop a lot lately in various threads. It's funny.
Well my conscience is clear: I hate all of this shit equally. Although I have to say I do give the small studios with honest F2P games a bit of a pass because I get it's do or die for them.
Big studios like Bethesda with B2P + MTX can suck it. And so can the vast majority of KS MMO projects like this one that have absolutely no integrity about the game they may eventually put out or they're too stupid to get the harm that tiered perks does to the starting state of their game which ALWAYS should start with as even a playing field as possible.
It's why I've never backed any of them. I could afford some of their upper tiers and set myself up to start with special status or advantage but what's the fucking point? That in and of itself is shit game design.
To paraphrase Groucho, I'd never play a game that would have me as a Count
Haha, a groucho quote. Well done and a good post imo. I agree. Like I said, not speaking to you specifically. It was the comment that made me think, huh he should have sold refrigerators because white knights came out in droves to smooth to signal that this was a non-pay-to-win exception. It reminded me that PR and perception are 90% of the battle.
Once upon a time when I was more open minded about "indie" operation I would have agreed. What I have taken away from my experiences however is that ethical and unethical people exist in all entities big and small. Indies who are willing to do unethical things as a small studio will do them even more so when they have money and their IPs are valued. I think Bethesda is a good example of that, but they're not alone in that.
While it is about being milked and oversold games, it's also about how a game feels. A game world completely free from the pollution of a cash shop, dlc bonus bundles, and extra digital exclusives. I think the point was, at some time in the distant past, that the industry could offer inclusive payment models and ways to develop games that weren't strangled by big money corporate development.
Unfortunately, people are just people, and this goes back to what I said above, the industry took the low road. They have done so consistently now for quite a while with recurring fees, F2P, cash shops, RMT, triple-dipping, and finally crowd-funding. All of those could have been consumer friendly but instead the industry made them as hostile and predatory as possible. So, it doesn't matter to me anymore if a studio or publisher is big or small. I'm holding them to the same standard.
Instead of getting all up in it though I usually just skip all the games that do this sort of stuff. It's fun to talk about on the forums, but I don't have gaming time to waste on this stuff. I barely have gaming time to waste on the good stuff.
Yeah I miss the all-inclusive days too. But they're not dead and gone. A handful of studios I think do see the damage to the core game that piecemeal monetisation does.
And one of the more remarkable but rarely mentioned things about the WOW Classic phenomenon playing out right now is that it's a sub game and players are flocking to it in droves. Sure it remains to be seen how long those subs last but hey who would have thought players were still willing to do it in 2019?

so what? the game have a mud or something like that so there is a game they are playing, or this is all drama created by people who have nothing else to do because there is no game to play?
"But we do have out-of-game mechanics to deal with those problems, and the moderators and admins can use them if necessary to protect the safety and well-being of our players."
What an odd statement.
If a prospective player's safety is at risk (as in physical harm), the remedy for that is law enforcement (assuming you can get them to take the threat seriously). But I don't think anyone is claiming that something that serious has happened. So, once again, this game creates dramatic mountains out of pitiful little mole hills.
Well being? Some mod is going to use out of game mechanics to enforce "well being"? This has a decidedly Barney Fife ring to it.
I'm sorry but I think your instantly dismissing this.
You count immediate harm as physical but actual online bullying and online mental abuse accounts for alot more deaths than physical abuse following online contact.
And for that there is tools, someone being bullied should feel ok to report it knowing the Devs will deal with it in a swift and decisive action.

I don't mean to trivialize online bullying or the pain of its victims. You are right that those harms can go beyond physical injuries.
And I don't fault CoE for trying to combat bullying that may occur in their game. I use "game" charitably to include whatever it is they are working on that they call a game, that looks more to me like a neverending cash shop grab.
I do mean to scoff a little at the hubris required for CoE to think it can control out of game behaviors that may involve CoE players. If I have a real life friend who plays CoE, and assuming I also play it, and I want to tell my friend his mama is fat, well, CoE can get stuffed. If on the other hand I make mama jokes in game, then I guess I am subject to their ToS.
I guess I am trying to imagine receiving a disciplinary CoE e-mail along the lines of: "You have been determined to have stated to another CoE player who was a guest in the living room of your house that you met his mama at the Macy's day parade, and she was wearing ropes."

Irrelevant. They used outside of game communication (forum) to threaten other players (the "king" and his loyal subjects). Is there some posted rule that says "Caspien's post does not apply if you have not spent X additional money"?
What you have described as a reason (well they ONLY spent $10k and stopped spending more money on a game that is years from release so they should, therefore, lose the $10k worth of stuff they already bought and so should anyone loyal to him) is, IMHO a very twisted perspective. Is this game called Wallets of Elyria?

The whole "buy your way to the top" thing that COE uses is completely baffling to me. What happened to "earn your way"? But, SBS is committed to the purchase route.
Really, how different would this game be for all players to start at the same level, say an unlanded knight, with titles and lands to be conquered along the way once you depose the NPC owner.
How would they get funding then? It be one thing if they were an massive company that didn't need crowd funding to survive. Seeing they do, what could they offer that doesn't give people an in game advantage?
Terrible leaders won't last long anyway, they never do in any kind of pvp games. Hell games in general, the bad leaders are outed quickly. It's more going to be funny watching all these wallet warriors lose their minds when they get removed.

Caspian is selectively picking games to make it seem like what they are now doing is the natural position. If I were to use any world domination board game in a live setting you get all the deals, threats and shouting imaginable.
But we talked about this before, the team seem clueless about what it means to run a game like this. We figured this out when they got all emotional over a backer taking the piss out of someone else when naming their lord. They don't have a clue about what happens when you put players into a competitive environment with limited resources and far more ability to effect the game world than most MMOs give you.
Finally, perhaps someone has addressed on here what happens if you text someone a threat in game? What happens if I roleplay my lord telling you I am going to raise your forts to the ground, grind your bones to dust and use your skull as a goblet?
I do not agree with this sort of behaviour, roleplaying is often used as an excuse..."I am playing a really nasty bastard so of course his behaviour is nasty." But it seems the team have not realised this is what is going to happen and that I think will be a hallmark of CoE, a failure to realise the consequences of the games design.
The game, development all sound like a clusterf**k to me and a reminder to stay away from crowd funded games.
It is not the crowd funding that created their financial model or their approach to design and issues arising in the game, that's down to the studio. Having said that I don't put into CF games myself.

Funny you should mention this. One of the more (in)famous role playing PVP guilds the Undead Lords has taken an interest in this game (NA West it seems) and on the surface appears to be the nasty sort of gankers you're describing.
My guess is if and when this game launched they've not going to be fun to have as nearby neighbors.

Maybe, but I recommend most people place their claims far from these folks as possible, (another server preferably) as their history is one of helping to bring PVP centric game worlds to near ruin. (Unless you enjoy this sort of thing of course)
Soon as they realize there's no one left to fight they quickly move elsewhere to continue their scorched earth behaviors.

More than likely, I'm on a totally different server so...
Still got the offer for anyone that if the game launches they can come to my "hamlet", I'll give them a section of a parcel with a profession kit (up to my EP limit), and eventually they can try to become mayor through elections.
