Gfted1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The $35 tier buys you the game and allows you to play at release. If you want Beta access, the minimum tier is $110. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReed Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Note that no level of access will allow you to play it today -- the game isn't anywhere near complete enough to allow backers to play. But purchasing beta access will allow you to play a (incomplete, likely buggy) version of the game some time (likely 2-5 months) prior to the retail release.

Lephys Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 For what it's worth, I'd clarify that it most likely won't even be simply a "buggy version of the game," per se. They're being quite protective of the game's story, so as to maintain its integrity for the best experience of playing the whole, bug-free complete thing. So, if you are interested in beta access, it will most likely be just test scenarios. Dummy quests and dialogues, merchants, maybe crafting, dummy combat encounters, etc. It seems like their goal is to allow people to test the mechanics and such as much as possible, without just playing the actual game early and spoiling all the story stuff. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Sheets Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The $35 tier buys you the game and allows you to play at release. If you want Beta access, the minimum tier is $110. Or it can be purchased as an add-on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would be nice to have alittle 'time' advantage with playing the game early. I'm likeing the idea of just testing the game mechanics, saving the story for its completed version. 2 Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day...
