I'm curious, as I hope to start donating in the next following months, but are donation rewards static? For example, if I donated $50 one month for that reward tier, but then donated another $150 would I be entitled to the $200 reward?

Also, is there now no way to gain the "Founder" title anymore?

I believe they stated in another thread that your donations are cumulative. They're not going to hold you to a bulk one-time donation, otherwise many people would not be able to attain higher tier rewards if they want them. I think the lower tier rewards are there mostly for people who want to just throw a few bucks their way and that's it. Totally understandable.

I don't think Founder rewards are available unless you helped get the project off the ground in the beginning. One of the original founders as it were. VO has been through a few major overhauls as the design and implementation of it gets refined and fleshed out.

I had seen someone post that they hadn't done that yet...I could be wrong but if it is wrong and they HAVE done it already I'll start donating once I have the spare cash.

Well, now with the recent change to the website I see today, I don't even know where to find my most recent donation from about 5 months, let alone the previous donations(i.e. Founders donations). This is NOT the direction I had hoped to see you go in as well absolutely no news on previous donations. I know this is taking time but I feel like previous donations are now lost. And please don't tell me to email support. I've done that enough with no progress.

I seriously doubt that our previous donations are simply gone. They just posted in their Aug 21st update that they are merging the website and game database with this latest website update and the patch to Alpha.
It doesn't stand to reason to keep developing a game and making such marked improvements to just dump people's investments as if they never happened. What would be the point? Piss everyone off so they won't ever donate again?
I've been gone for a while and am just now getting back to taking a look around as of a week or so ago. I don't see anything that makes me feel like they're giving up or it is some kind of vaporware or something like CoT does.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm sticking it out. I'm looking forward to playing around with the new Character Generator and whatever else they've cooked up for the Alpha launch.

And what exactly is your title at VO? Yeah, I will wait for some official word because that floats my boat. Not to mention I've been silent on the subject for 5 MONTHS. I would say that is damn patient so when the next update to the site "takes away" functionality with no explanation or timeline, yeah, I'm a little worried. If you want to wait another 3 years for a playable beta then be my guest. I'm going to say something where I've spent money that could have bought 3 AAA games that ready to play.

I don't have a title. Keep paddling. Maybe it will take your mind off of it until you run ashore and the info is all as it should be for you.

Will do, Richard.

LOL - touché

We've posted about this before. I'm AFK (on phone) but will repost later and also pin the into somewhere too.

We're currently in the process of finishing a long database merge that will restore all details. Accompanying that will be a new account page that will include your account details, available rewards, medallions, and character information. This merge will also include the introduction of the in-game account-type system which will allow investor, and premium members to have access to all their unique rewards and their rewards points. Award points can be used for premium account payments, minor costume aesthetics, and future content releases.

We appreciate your patience, and we understand that things appear to be moving very slow on the outside. However, the internal development is making strides. Very soon, these will be visible externally, and our overall presentation will be complete. As always we'll keep the community aware of all progress.

Is it ok to criticize now? This reply was over 7 months ago and I still don't see any major update to the website concerning veteran rewards. This is getting ridiculous.

I was willing to stay quiet but after seeing no one moderate the spammer on this site and the amount of time that has passed when voicing my original criticism about veteran rewards shows a serious lack of concern for those supporting this project.

We've been undergoing a long and grueling process of merging the game server's account system with the webserver's account system. User accounts will be integrated and both databases will be configured to work with a remote server that is taking us a while to structure. We're preparing to make a huge new post about the state of the game, progress with the server coupling, and getting ready to share more information on the expanded investor rewards.
