Hello folks, anyone have their eye on CoE (chronicles of elyria)?
Kickstarter starts in 3rd of may 2016, if you're not familiar with CoE head to their website https://chroniclesofelyria.com/ read their FAQ or watch videos of FAQ about it.

Summary:
CoE trying a unique attempt to have a soul system set, where if you go to face dangerous places can cost you.
If you can play 6 months to 14 month real life time, which your character will be aged already which possibly that you can get a permanent death, which you cannot play the same character, but the skills you did obtain can stick with your soul as possibly you will need new spark of life.

Business model:

• 1 Spark of life: $30
• No cash shops
• No micro-payments
• No subscriptions

It's pay-to-play. The basic edition of the game comes with 1 Spark of Life and 3 souls to choose from. You combine the Spark of Life with one of the souls and create a character in the world.

After your character permadies (Approx. 6-14 mo after character creation, based on how you play) you buy a new Spark of Life and combine it with the same or a different soul in order to create a new character. That's it. No cash shops, no micro-payments, no subscriptions.

You can buy additional souls if you want a wider variety to choose from, it's optional.

Spread the word folks.

I think I saw a tweet from Cohh that he has backed this Kickstarter.

I really like the idea behind it.
But i don't really get the Spark System. So i buy the game -> get one spark and can roam around with it for about 12-13 months. After that my spark vanishes and I need a new one? So i have to buy a new one (didn't concider now the earn-to-play system)
[USER=13220]@moxceo[/USER] Can you explain this to me? =)

It's a new business model called P2R (Pay to Reincarnate) also if you're planning to play that long, you don't have to worry!

Earn 2 Play model available as if you're playing long time, you can earn to play without spending $30 after 10-12 month approx.

Influence Points (IP) and Earn to Play (E2P) | In Chronicles of Elyria, the Story Points you earn (by completing in-game activities that help advance the story) can be traded in between lifetimes in order to buy Sparks of Life. This is what we call the “Earn-to-Play” model of funding.

Influence Points (Influence or IP) is our pre-launch currency, used to track the most influential community members who earn IP by recruiting other players, substantial contributions to the community, or Kickstarter funding. IP currency features heavily in the Kickstarter campaign, allowing people to earn IP which can be spent in the IP store prior to the official launch date. Influence provides benefits such as early access, special rewards, and currency to purchase in-game property, titles, and items.

Also keep in mind there's no "Cash shop", mirco-transactions or payment walls behind it, it's all transparent..
So if you're a popular person in Elyria world, you possible can have your life shortage so instead of living 12 months, you can leave less than that
Let's say as a king.. if you get killed by a murder or someone, your life span gets shortage each time your spirit soul gets out from your body.. if you didn't reach your body that will be a permanent death which means "Game over" either you spend "IP" to get spark of life for free or "E2P to get it for free or if you have none of those two you can spend $30 to get spark of life..

So all makes sense..
Although $30 a year isn't bad, that's around $2.5 per month.
Nor in this case if you're a a popular person up to a king, permanent death will cost you lot.. $30 per 4 ~7 months ($7.5 ~ $4.5) a month.

Yes you can Reincarnate as any title but you can't be a king again unless you have a child as a prince when he grows up he will be the next king to take your throne back you do have to reincarnate to your child and play as prince till you get at one point to be the king again.

As in conclusion once you pledge for $25 you get copy of the game.

Edit: Earn to play system will be online at launch of the game, so it will reward people who's going play for a 10-12 months or more..
Also you can earn SP (Story Points) which can be exchanged to buy new spark of life for free.*

Cheers
