    I am pumped about this game concept after enjoying other games like Eq1/2 so want to help out by pledging. However, as a euro and since this is a very group-orientated game, I was wondering what the euro population will be like in Alpha and Beta? would it be a solo-fest? 

    I tried the search button and couldn't find anything.. and i appreciate we dont talk about fight club or our pledge levels.. but any insight would be appreciated.

    I don't think you need to worry.  There seem to be quite a few european players pledged in at various levels of support for the game :)

    As a euro/uk player, I can neither confirm nor deny that I may have an alpha pledge. ;)

    There is no secret about the pledge we have - it is just an information about the amount of money we gave to support the development . The support forum is full of people posting about their pledges .

    For instance I have the pledge that was before the Sunhunter pledge (forgot what it was called before) and I am European .

    I am not European. But I am retired and thus on during the day U.S. time. Which means on E.U. prime time. 

    Other things being close to equal I will play on a server that is called an E.U. server or that is the "unofficial" server for people in those time zones.

    We absolutely need to appeal and make the game available to people in Europe and all over the world.  This means effectively communicating and showcasing the game via streams and videos and such.  This also means, as you mentioned, that we need to make the game in alpha and beta accessible to people in other regions.  We absolutely cannot have a situation where you feel alone and that realms/serveres are less populated in other regions.  Underpopulation is a killer.  Exploring and adventuring in a group oriented game requires other people to play with and shared experiences are key.  We'll do whatever it takes to make sure that servers/realms for euro and other regions are sufficiently populated.
