A question about EE from a forum newb.

[<Magistry> Clexarews]

Hey all. I unfortunately haven't had much time to devote to keeping up on the latest news on these forums. I've seen several references to EE 1 and EE 2. I've also noticed that the expected date of EE in the Goblinworks store has changed to October and that this is the "second month" or EE.

So, please help me be lazy and enlighten me on what EE 1 and 2 are and who qualifies for what? Thanks everyone!

1 and 2 would be month 1 and month 2 of EE, original kickstarter backers get in at month 1 and anyone who buys from the store now can enter at month 2 of EE. EE is early enrollment, like a beta launch of the game but PFO is called crowdforging and you are more involved in the progress of game content.

The game is already in a limited alpha for people that subscribed to the alpha. Everyone else has to wait for EE although there has been hints that if all goes well with the alpha some of the kickstarter backers may actually get access to the alpha before official EE to see how the server handles the extra load.

So as someone who did not fund the game on kickstarter but purchased the EE access from the store prior to the change in date, I'd be looking at EE access in month 2?

Almost certainly, Clexarews. Month one is for people who participated before the Kickstarter hit the million dollar level.

Yeah , they are selling month 2 of EE in the store now.

edit . the store was always month 2 ,the date may have been wrong if it use to say September.

Presumably the idea is people that subscribed to the kick-starter way back when there was no guarantee the game would ever even go live at all will get a 4 weeks headstart as a reward for their early support.

If you are really desperate to get in during that first 4 weeks I am certain there are people around that subscribed to buddy deals that have spare ones still unallocated. Just ask around.

I wouldn't say I'm desperate. I just like to be able to plan my schedule ahead of time and was curious about the state of things since the time in the shop changed and I saw no blog posts explaining anything. That being said, if someone was willing to hook a guy up with one of these supposedly unallocated buddy deals, we could become buddies indeed :D.

Thanks for all the help and quick replies everyone!

Maybe my memory is faulty, but when I purchased EE access in June it made no mention of a first or second month, just said join the game during EE and the estimated month was August.

[Notmyrealname]

Well I'm ready for 'whenever'. Its august and still estimated to start in September, whatever. I just need enough time to download the client and I'm good to go.

As you seem to be associated with Magistry/Talongard a good place to start would be asking on your settlements forums :D

Revision !!

Goblinworks just announced everyone gets in on 15th September to first month of EE regardless of how they got into early entry.

And there was much rejoicing! There was on Torchbearer who bought in late, and we were feeling sorry for him. Now we can take all the sympathy back and burn it - like a torch!
