Re: World of Whorecraft: The Chronicles of Alexstrasza
Yeah I finally could donate now, but being that close to the release of episode 4 and only the VIP Gallery and Episode 5 Beta left the value I get out of the donation isn't that big anymore.
Still I think it would be worth as a thank you for Aurils hard work, but I would prefer something more than that.
The questions which are staying are:
Will she find an good ending for all stories in episode 5 and does it answer all the questions from the episodes before? If not, will she continue her work in future?
That would make donating even now this close to the end worthwhile again.
If she ends the her work on all of this with episode 5 will she reveal the VIP content afterwards for all? I speak of the VIP-Gallery, or scrapped ideas and discussion threads, so we can have a look at that.
and:
What is her goal with this VIP-Exclusive Update? Does just release an Update for VIPs earlier? Or is she really doing this only vor VIPs? At first I would believe that this is just version 1.1 and maybe there will be soon 1.2 and 1.3 until she decides she has no new ideas and releases the last version as the updated and finished version for public again. Like she did with Episode 1 1.6. I still hope she will come back and do 1.7 again.
If she plans this as a real VIP-Only feature that would be a reason to donate again, or a reason that would piss many non-donators off. I think Auril had some hard times dealing with her hates and she seems a bit emotional when being harrassed by them.
I certainly would like to see after Episode 5 a Version that would enhance all episodes again with new scenes and storylines in one game. She could still make it episodic like choosing which episode you want to play in the main menu like a level select, but having it as one installation and not many different.
