I'm usually more of a PVE focused player, I do like my occasional PVP encounters. Sometimes open world PVP can be fun, but I don't enjoy the "Survival" style of PVP, such as Rust. Typically, I like to pick when I PVP vs being vulnerable to be in PVP at anytime during game-play.
Been looking at buying a Kickstarter pack, but a couple of things I see in the packs give me a tad bit of concern. I know the things like VIP have been answered and hopefully will not give a p2w aspect to the game, although I still find it odd that it supposedly helps you earn knowledge points quicker when the game is said to be based on learning knowledge points. With that aside, I'm still unsure about what the Carpenters are for. Some packs give a free carpenter for various months to years, others a lifetime. So, I guess my questions would be, will these be obtainable outside of Kickstarter once the game is released? What is their function? Also, an added question about VIP, will players later have an option to purchase a lifetime VIP outside of Kickstarter, or is this to be a Kickstarter perk only?
