I bought the game because the whiney and bitchy people are all on these forum whining about how the game is too pricey and how they cant afford it ect ect ect. I trust SV, if they fail, it would suck so... that's that,

Mortal Online is by far, the only MMO I wish that they make a good game. Darkfall failed miserably after 8years which kind of suck and no other game are worth playing now...

Two things turned me off for buying it

1. $75.00 **** Who wants to pay $75 for an unpolished piece of Alpha crap when you could pay less than $50 for something decent

2. I have lost faith in europe creating a good mmo after the long list of failures. Does Darkfall or AOC ring a bell ? Europe will have to produce something good with great reviews and a free trial before I throw my money their way again.

You guys that think getting in the game early for $75 will make you better than the next guy in the long run must be smoking something. In the long run skill will always catch and surpass

1. They are honest.

2. It's not throwing money around if I enjoy helping a game that I have desire to play come to fruition.

 

 

Exactly.

And;

3. They have shown us that they have some brilliant thinkers in the team with ideas and a vision that knocked me of my shelf.

4. You have to stand up for fresh and new ideas coming from indy developers in this industry. We all know how concepts get to be watered down to appeal to more massive crowds if published under the umbrella of big, established corporations. Seeing a new company with fresh ideas succeed will benefit the whole genre.

5. Save the Sandbox! (It's on the endangered playground features list).

So what you are saying is that either you are an investor or you are giving charity to Starvault. Either way, you won't get any return on your investment so have fun when the devs drive around in Ferraris (if the game sells well) and you are stuck with your Volvo.

To support my dream. Yes MO is the game I waiting from the time I stopped playing UO. Its my dream. If there are enough players that support it it will become briliant game soon or later.

 I pay the game for the Limited version.

I think I don't play the beta.

I don't think that most players are buying the game to get better skills...  they're buying it because they either have faith in the game, want to just play the game to see how it is, or want to support their idea of a good game.  Plus, even if that was the case...doesn't it take time to develop skill anyways?  That's kind of an ignorant statement.

I think their honesty about the current state of the game makes it OK.  People know pretty much what they are paying for.  If it were a situation where they are claiming the game is feature complete and that turned out to be a lie, then that would be different.

For this game and developer I wouldn't do it.  I'm not particularly interested in it and I'd be too concerned about it being vaporware.  If it gets good reviews after launch, I may check it out.

If SW:TOR offered me a chance to buy the game right now and beta test, I'd probably do it...mainly because I don't have a MMO right now that's compelling enough for me to play it instead of beta testing TOR.

I payed for the boxed edition. I did it for a couple of reasons.

1. I like pre-ordering a game that I have been following a long time and am interested in. With the pre-order I am assured that I will have a copy of the game the day the game goes live.

2. I like the little added bonuses that come with the pre-order. The slight rewards I recieve from the developer, in this case, that are not open to everyone else at this time. In this case the biggest thing I am looking for is the opportunity to be in the Block A round of beta invites. I enjoy being in betas. Being able to stress test servers, report bugs and glitches that affect my particular set up and overall help make the game better before launch is vary satisfing.

If I wasn't content with these reasons I would not put my money down.
