It's too bad, I would have tripled my backing for it.

It doesn't matter... People will still ask for features they want to see. I agree with staying away from MP right now, but maybe as the game matures a possibility in the future would be nice. I think it would be a bit naive with a project like this to use resources like that at this point in time. However as was posted... "Hi guys, One of the most exciting things about working on this game is that we can do so with you guys throughout the entire process. No need to "go dark" or severely limit the kinds of topics we discuss. The funding to create this game is coming from you. You are our boss on this one, and throughout the process of this game, we want to make sure we're doing our best for you. To be blunt, we obviously want to continue to raise funding for this game as much as we can. Doing that helps us do more with the game and just make it more polished and as awesome as we can for as many of the fans of this type of game as we can reach. For fans of PS:T, Baldur's Gate, and Icewind, we want to bring you that feel of game again. We can't explain how excited we are to do that."

So did I, but you know what's even rarer? Having that experience in multiplayer. Good experiences are better shared, wouldn't you agree? I understand the problem from a budget and prioritization standpoint and agree that it's good they're focusing on the single-player experience, but if it were possible to share the same experience with friends, I couldn't call that a step down. Multiplayer RPGs have been virtually extinct since MMOs took off, so I certainly understand why this question has been coming up about every RPG for the last several years. I do hope multiplayer returns to the genre some day. I agree, I would love to be able to play such a game with my pen and paper friends I'm now thousands of miles away from. I didn't know when I backed it that it was going to be single player. However, I want to support a game that's for players. Not the watered down junk we get from todays publishers. It's still a game I want to play and hope one day there will be a kickstart for an MP option. I don't want servers or launchpad, anything of that sort. I want to play TCP/IP with my old table top friends at some point. However, I do want this project to succeed and take off and maybe we can get more games and options backed by players in the future.
