    Is there somewhere that shows us how much has been raised on this the site like kickstarter ?  

    We have had a fair bit of influx of colorful people lately and was just wondering if we are allowed to know what we have reached in terms of crowd funding ?

    There used to be - there were major issues with the total funds and the counter though.

    I do also like to see the total raised count as I'm a numbers guy and its another good method to demonstrate transparency; however, as long as the updates continue - I'm happy either way.

    We used to display this on the front page as others have said but we ran into problems with the numbers not displaying correctly, this website does not take kindly to hacked widgets etc. so it was causing problems and we were not able to resolve them at the time.

    I have alerted the team to this question/thread though and I will see what we can do then let you know mate.

    I bought ten pizzas too.  I have time during the day so I'm trying to keep Pantheon's hang time in MMORPG's top 5 forum at a favorable rate.  The more people know, the more likely they buy in or just show interest, join streams, etc.  It's all boots on the ground.

     

    I hope someone at least got a pizza.

    I personally do not care how much money they have raised. Only what they need to keep going....  because it's awesome sauce...

    This was where i was going, It would be nice to see how much we require to get to the next step, While the current Team are going far over and beyond what any of us thought and doing so out of their own generosity, eventually the game will get to a point were a decent amount of money is going to be required to move to the next step and would be good to know if we have it or need to push further.

    It was definitely nice having the info until it was realized the totals weren't tabulating correctly and that didn't go over too well, as you might imagine. I think your other point is a great one though....what do we need to get to where we want to be? Needless to say, even with the new support we are getting, we are still working about as lean as we possibly could be while still producing quality work and obtaining the tools to make it even better. I think at this point we can safely assume we are going to need a LOT more coming in to add to the team and crank up the volume. In the meantime, hopefully we can find a way to accurately address the totals issue, since I know we all want it to be right the first time going forward. :)

    Here's a bit of a burning question i have.

     

    Could we go to a Alpha stage with the current funds and team ?  I understand it would require funds for servers and IT management etc, can it be done with a volunteer team working after hours and in thier spare time or would a Alpha require full time people ?  not to say you guys have done an outstanding job already.

    There are many many positive comments on youtube about VRI's latest video along with some folks stating they'll buy it come the time.      This is such a great turnaround,  you've done a lot of hard, hard work.       I never let go of the belief that fundamentally you guys would get where you want to be.    

    So proud of you guys!   Keep up the good work! :D   By the way along with the beautiful world you are creating,  just had to mention the mist effects...love that!!

    You can read about that in our Wiki Niien, here is the link.

    Could it be done? I believe so, personally. Look at the scale of what has been accomplished just in the last few months with such a small team. Would it be optimal, no. I don't know if anybody could keep up the pace long term. I would think, if nothing else, it would take longer without additional help eventually, jmo. :)

    I would like to echo that I believe a counter would be nice and while it may seem small at first, it could help with the funding motivation.
