On this week’s Massively OP podcast, both Justin and I expressed surprise that Chronicles of Elyria’s Kickstarter has done so well — it certainly seems to defy the prevailing gloom-and-doom about Kickstarters, MMORPGs, and Kickstarter MMORPGs. It also has no big-name devs behind it, and its mechanics are… well, the business model and FFA PvP nature of the game would suggest a limited audience.
And yet it funded late last night to the tune of $900,000 and rising, no doubt, since it has three weeks still to go.
I thought we might take this weekend’s Leaderboard and conduct a quick survey of the Massively OP readers. Did you back or are you backing Chronicles of Elyria? To the pollmobile!
