So, they've got about half of the funding they really need since the lead time on a project like this is likely 10 years plus.
I'm definitely not a "believer" at this point.
But I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

To be fair, those were storytelling within a wider, well-established franchise. This sounds closer to Defiance which didn't last too long if I recall (the show. I think the game at least lasted a while). I get that this may not be intended to correlate as closely as Defiance the game and show were supposed to, but I feel they'd be better served focusing on doing one thing well and expanding from there.

No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
There is no recognition of the fact that social and solo do not go together, those who put the time in and casual do not go together, in fact the greater one is favoured the less the other is favoured.
Very early days but this is looking like a MMORPG for every man and as we know in the modern era they have so far gone only one way. They pander too much to casual solos and as the years roll by (often under a mask of QoL changes) they pander even more to that side of the player base.

Yes!!!!
Send it to me. I'll use it wisely for sure. =^.^+
