    Great! I made a Knight's Pledge back in 2016. Can I get into the game now, or do I need to wait until EA in December? Will I be emailed a client, or do I need to contact someone? Thanks.

    Yeah, I've pledged in 2018 for $250 dollars. How do I get my pledge game in steam?

    why? You can just download the client directly and attach the game to steam by just adding the program to steam.

    I hope the games is in a better state for EA.  Has of right now I will be shocked if you have a 50% positive rating. Sorry but so many things, crafting UI window looks like something from a 1998 web browser game. There are also so many steps not needed for a crafting (like make hilt for weapon then blade then weapon). The big thing is the visuals are bad, come on 10 years crappy version of vanilla wow. The last thing is loss of xp on death is BS I Can see the trolls with this.

    In earlier posts I read those of us who buy prior to EA we would get a head start. Is this still the case, and when can I choose my name prior to launch?

    I agree with you Geddoe!  Game is for sure on the right track!

    "In earlier posts I read those of us who buy prior to EA we would get a head start. Is this still the case, and when can I choose my name prior to launch?"

    The head start is .... likely... from what I hear, though as with all else anything can change. Last I heard, it will be a day or less.

    The "Early name reservation" at Launch will happen fairly shortly before Official Release. So that's still pretty far in the future.

    I'm just here to say i'm excited.  Long time lurker, recent pledge supporter.  Looking forward to putting the game into action.  Good luck to the devs and all players!

    Regarding "early name reservation", is it planned to increase number of characters in the character name field? I cannot enter name and surname of my old EQ wizard by 2 letters and this is, literally, killing me

    I have no idea what the maximum number of characters is OR will be. I suggest submitting that question for a VR Q&A.

    Just going by memory, I believe VR intends for a minimum of 4 characters in a PCs name. I know it's possible to have only 3 currently, but I believe that's a temporary situation for testing purposes.

     If we pledged some years ago, how do we link our VR account to Steam? Has that been setup yet?

    Last I heard, Joppa said that this was still in discussion stage but was something that VR wanted. Just need to wait I guess.

    What's the advantage of linking to your Steam account if you're already signed up with VR's site?   Doesn't that just provide a 2nd chance to not be able to play if either site is down?

    @Varek - I "believe" the greatest advantage to associating to Steam is promotion amongst your Steam friends that you may not actually be friends with IRL (so you wouldn't really communicate with them otherwise).  Just speculating of course.

    You're probably right.  Not much personal benefit.  Just contributing some "ADs".

    Need to know how to connect steam to my pledge. Plus, pledge states we will receive the ability to save a name we wish to use, when will this happen? Will we get a head start? More information would be helpful please.

    I am thinking the name reservation would be something that happens closer to the 1.0 launch of Pantheon.  This is just an open early access to the pre-Alpha/Beta coming up.  Pretty sure all these characters will be wiped many times before actual launch.  We got at least 2 years to ponder the name question I would think.

    @Rhazaghul

    how do you know if you have early access?

    A good way would be to read the Early Access Fact Sheet where you'll find lots of useful info, like:

    "Early Access will permit all current pledge-holders AND digital copy holders to play full-time, regardless of pledge level"

    I do have a quick question, that I cannot seem to find the answer to on the forums or in any of my VR emails. 

    Will patron early access require a new game key?  Or will the client continue to use the current pre-alpha Access key?

    Layhon does have a point however.  As their community person on the Steam forums is deleting posts, warning people, banning people for posting about other games such as Monsters & Memories.  Even just talking about them, saying it's advertising.  This does not instill faith in their product.  Being humble and working with the community rather than being heavy-handed is much more of what's needed here.  Otherwise it'll just reinforce the negativity. 

    For the record I think Pantheon can turn itself into a good game in the long term.  It will take time and effort, but it is definitely possible.  However, running your community down, including backers, on the Steam forums, is not the way to do it at all.  It's the exact opposite way they should be handling things.

    Yeah. I didn't really like all the posts on Steam being deleted. It's not a good look. I don't know who did it or why. I'm on the Steam forums quite often and I can count on one hand the number of forum posts that I have seen deleted. It's pretty rare at least for the games I follow. The number of Pantheon posts that have been deleted seems very high for a game that isn't even out yet.
