Donors: Act NOW!

Dear ADOM: The Resurrection crowd funding campaign donors!

December has come and most of December I will spend on adding as much stuff as possible to get all the crowd funding rewards handled. Except for the Fridays and two other days I'm completely freed from work (having taken an unpaid holiday). But to be able to successfully implement the stuff promised in the campaign I need your help: Please specify your rewards on the ADOM: The Resurrection self service portal.

In order to allow me to implement all the stuff promised in time I need your feedback before the 10th of December, midnight (German time). I will not accept any later submissions thus resulting into the forfeiture of the rewards (and no payback). While this might sound hard I - to be honest - was shocked to discover that but 22.39% of the donors so far have provided feedback (at the time of this writing)!!! Have a look for yourself - I added a new statistics display to the self service portal (at the bottom of the login page).

So please specify your rewards before the 10th of December!

Thanks a lot :-)

  1. Your English is typically flawless, but in this case I'd recommend saying "I need your feedback BEFORE the 10th of December" (also replace UNTIL with BEFORE in the last line).

    Asking someone to do something "until" a certain time implies that you want them to continually be doing it (for example, "play ADOM until the 10th of December").

    My submission is in! Excited to see if my "boss monster" is approved, and particularly if my "special power" request is considered.

    1. Thanks for the hint. I'll fix the text right away!

  2. I threw in $10. Not sure that gets me anything. I don't really care anyway.

    The game is the reward.

  3. Does the December 10th deadline still exclude "seeker" level donors...?

    1. Yes, absolutely. Only the non-seekers. For Seekers (and Master Thieves as far as the RPG box goes as well as the levels above them) there will be an extra run that will cover address validation.

    2. I'm glad you mentioned the address bit. I've moved 2000 miles since I donated. xD

    1. Nothing right now. Seekers will be handled separately. Sorry for the confusion.

  5. The statistics says that 0 out of 31 Master Thief level donors responded. I am a Master Thief level donor and I have responded -- is it possible that it's not registered because the address validation isn't there yet so I could only fill in the statue and boss monster?

    As an aside, my name shows scrambled when I log in...

  6. Hmm, 0 out of 4 legends so far have responded. Well I'll not complain about being given their rewards to choose! =D

    Although it does seem odd that so few of the higher ranks have responded. Perhaps you should point out that you can edit as many times as you like - I know that I was hesitant at first to put partial data in because of fear of messing up/missing out.

  7. Can you send a mail out through IndieGoGo? That might get some people's attention. Not everyone follows the blog.

    1. Oh, just received an update - looks like it was delayed. Hopefully now you'll get a good stream of registrations now.

  8. Thanks for an update, Thomas. But I think it would be good to mark "Seekers are excluded" or something on your email. I, as a Seeker too, am somewhat confused and if I receive this announcement mail from today til Dec10, I think it is not a good option for me...
