Kickstarter is actually the epitome of capitalism. Seeking & finding investors. There are companies started every day with private citizen's funds.

The consumer is always right. Whether they pay in advance, or in arrears.

Add P99Blue/Red to the name you donated under.

If you donated in the past, and want credit now, Petition Forum.

Well said. Was thinking this same thing myself when I read that post.

Meehh, the epitome of capitalism would be an exchange of capital for equity, not goods.

First let me say that I donated before all of this happened because I believe, and have hope in the Pantheon project.

I would also like to say I respect that the staff on P99 want to promote this project which is trying to advance something similar to the classic EQ feel in a new way.

What I am actually concerned about is the non classic exp pots used to promote this classic feel game, and to a lesser degree the special in game quest hosted by Nilbog.

If this was done by the other members of the server staff I could understand, most of them at one time or another have promoted ideas that conflict at least partially with the classic feel of the server, but Nilbog? Nilbog has been the hard-line classic feel promoter for the server forever, but now that Nilbog has given the OK for non classic items and quests to be used in the game, but why? Promoting the game for raffle tickets for a classic cool item like the guise or pre nerf fungi are totally awesome, but why non classic things?

This is totally your server, you can do whatever you want with it and I am pleased you allow us to play in this box, but I have to wonder what the logic of you breaking from your multiple year pact for this server you created? From an outside perspective it seems like it goes against everything you've been promoting for years now.
