    It was still up? :)

    Thanks for giving us an early look in these releases. It really is more than what was promised to be able to get into the game so early.

    Thanks so much for keeping it up as long as you did! I truly enjoyed getting in there and exploring all the houses, finding the hidden chests, secret switches and getting a taste of the quests to come.

    Very happy & impressed backer. :)

    Thanks Richard, Starr, and Team!

    I was actually impressed with how much fun even with how limited the "game" was for R1. Lots of work left to go, but the biggest things is that it "felt right". Now for the six week wait for R2.

    How do fix all the bugs and have time for new stuff?
    Maybe you should find some volunteers to try and fix problems like walking through things while the team continues to work on new content, I don't know.
    Anyways
    Thanks for letting us in to test the game!

    Good times & alot learned.

    R2 will be fun to see the differences. Was not happy my 1st run through R1 & imo alot of simple things needing to be looked at, but viewing it w/ less criticism & trying to find enjoyment I actually was able to see so many great things in the game and am truly excited for the next stage. The game was fun and I was bummed big time when I went to log in and I could not. THAT IS A GOOD SIGN :) The addiction is already kicking in! The world looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
    Deco'ing homes was really enjoyable and the system it uses is really easy and GREAT! I loved the INV BAGS, chests, sacks. I really just like the whole storage, it felt authentic trying to dig certain items out of my bag and the clutter-ness because I did not organize my packs.

    PLEASE GOD: Give us MOUNTS! This world is begging for MOUNTS! As long as they move smoothly and not like robots.
    --------
    WISH LIST:

    I hope the MALE avatar can be touched up, his body seems awkward (thin tiny legs, huge from waist up) & I am hoping the movements will flow smoother in R2.
    And please god NO holding RIGHT CLICK in R2!

    ==============================================

    R2 PREVIEW:

    RELEASE 2: January 24 - January 26 2014
    • Crafting: We will be opening up crafting for testing with more than 100 recipes. Chests full of crafting resources will be provided. Crafting will initially focus on refining and production for smithing, tailoring, and carpentry.
    • Shopping: Shopkeepers will be open for business for selling and buying.
    • Town 2: An additional municipality (likely village sized) will be open for business! Exiting one municipality will take you immediately to the other municipality.
    • List Inventory: For those who prefer spreadsheets to immersion. The inventory battle royale continues!
    • Character Customization++: Characters will be wiped, but you will now have even more options when creating your character to make it look unique including: facial features, scaling, and more content (hairstyles, head shapes, skin tones, hair colors, etc.)

    Unfortunately, mounts did not make the cut. They are planned by not for Episode 1. Personally I would rather wait so they can get them right.

    Yes, I would wait til final release or LATE dev for mounts. But as I walked the world and especially when I saw a horse I was like MAN, I wish I had a horse. I agree fully. Nothing they should worry about now or anytime soon.

    Had a wonderful time thanks for extending the time I feel like I absorbed most the content we were given and had a great time doing it. Really can't wait till release 2 and everything it adds. Keep up the great works!
