Group Stretch Goals
All players will unlock the following rewards upon reaching each stretch goal from $20k to $100k:

Reward/Unlock Clarifications, "The Fine Print"

 * "Veteran Status" rewards stack with Kickstarter rewards.
 * The lowest "Tier 1" receives no rewards.
 * Alpha and Beta access may be handed out in "cohorts", or timed waves. Earlier signups get priority.
 * First-choice feedback means that developers will "subscribe" to your Forum account and get personal notifications whenever you post in the feedback section.
 * Your forum title will match your in-game title.
 * Naming or designing weapons or classes must be approved and fit with the relative theme, with a "SFW", non-infringing name.
 * Naming or designing weapons will be first serve, so numerous people with this tier may have to wait a little.
 * PDF game manual is, more or less, a compiled Wikia with an index, professionally organized.
 * Mousepad design will contain in-house artwork chosen by staff.
 * T-Shirts will be black or white. Sizes are customized. Surveys will be sent out. The shirts will be the same design as the one "Xblade" was wearing in the Kickstarter promo video.
 * USB drives are black, flat keycards that fold out with ToL art chosen by staff.
 * VIP chat in Discord - for those that don't know Discord, it's a popular chat application for gaming.
 * Printed portrait cards are the ones similar to this Wikia - they are not a game in itself, but for collecting.
 * Printed/PDF artwork will contain in-house artwork chosen by staff.
 * Mac and Linux support unlock may come after a delay (after Windows core testing).
 * Translations include, but not limited to any and/or all of the languages at the top of this Wikia. Order will be done by popularity determined by staff or survey.
 * When you unlock the ability to trade, gp will not be eligible for trade.
 * Customization morphing means you can customize your character model similar to games like Skyrim.
 * For voice acting unlocks, awkward noises includes death, hurting, casting spells, grunts, etc.
 * For "Demand Justice", this is for a full, automated report system with automated disciplinary actions based on intelligent factors. We will still have "Ghetto Reporting" (report button emails a dev and we manually investigate) regardless of reaching this goal.
 * For "Overkill", we mentioned "additional" mini games - To clarify, there will be 1 mini-game while dead by release.

FAQ

 * How come $5 doesn't include any rewards?

This is for people that want to support our campaign, but don't necessarily want to play the game itself (like friends and family supporters that are not necessarily gamers - or people that already own the game via our Veteran Status promo and want to still support us a bit).
 * To clarify, the $10 package comes with BETA and RELEASE keys? No alpha?

The majority will get the $10 (Tier 2) and we want the game to be as polished as possible when you play it. Alpha will not necessarily be a "flagship experience", so we want to keep alpha for the higher tiers for those that understand the experience may be a bit buggy when we first start. Alpha and beta won't be that far apart, so don't worry :) Alpha is meant to stress test and weed out the major bugs/balance issues/game-breaking issues that no one wants.
 * When is Alpha?

We're going to be conservative and say "Q1 2016".
 * When is Beta?

Most likely a month or 2 after alpha -- after we kill off all the annoying bugs and game-breaking occurrences. It won't be like, but it will be worth waiting a little extra.
 * When is release?

Every key includes a beta and release key, at minimum. The average person shouldn't worry since they get access to both -- release will be vaguely be stated as "whenever beta is finished" ;)
 * Will my stuff be wiped between alpha/beta/release?

99% no, leaving 1% for major revamps that may wipe certain stats -- but overall, you'll keep your gp and inventory between phases. No worries!
 * Where can I ask questions?
