Eternal Crusade Founders Packs Available Now!

Hey guys, I'm a little bit late to the party on this news as Natfka has already covered it in far greater detail, but just in case anyone has missed it, Behavior - the company currently developing the new 40k MMO: Eternal Crusade - have updated the website and are now offering founders pack programs. This stuff should not be thought of as crowd funding as the game is already taken care of, but is instead to cover extra cool bits of gear, along with some stuff like character name reservations and Guild reservations, not to forget early access to the first basic modules of the game. :) Here's a link to the game site - https://www.eternalcrusade.com/ More info below.


These are the packs currently available. Each offers alot of the basic access stuff, including name reservations, etc, while the Heresy Pack and Xenos pack basically provide a means of buying all of the limited edition weapons and then everything else available respectively. There are some things listed as still WIP but i doubt it will take much longer for those items to show up on the page finished, but you can get a good idea of how they will look by the pictures provided below.
This is just the Ork examples of what is available for each faction, but basically right now, each faction has access to purchase a vehicle, some cool custom appearances, and some wargear for their characters to use in the game. Behavior have also been very vocal in expressing the fact that this is NOT  pay to win game at all, it is merely cool extras for people, or weapons that are more like modified versions of their stock counterparts found in the base game (not upgraded power, but rather different functions such as a burst fire bolter, rather than rapid fire one that does a set amount of damage per burst for example)
Last but not least, there are a few limited edition weapons that you can grab for your characters. These are going to be really rare, but are a really neat touch in my opinion to add some uniqueness for founders of the game to have. (really love that Umbra Ferrox pattern bolter for Chaos ;)) Again, it should be stressed that these have next to no inherent strength over their regular counterparts from what i have heard, but are merely slight variations and only perform slightly different in their fire modes, etc, than their less pretty counterparts. :)

Of the packs available I personally purchased the Captain pack, as i didn't feel that i would want all of the limited stuff, not every single customization option for every faction (Space Marine through and through for me :D) so I figured this pack gave me the best bang for my buck. I reserved 3 character names also; one a Space Wolf, one a Dark Angel, and one Black Legion Chaos Marine. I'm really excited to get into the early access whenever it shows up, and i really encourage all of you to give the site a look as I honestly think this game has a lot of potential to be a really stellar game for both 40k players and just video gamers in general. Here is a link to their site for those who are interested in this ambitious project in case anyone missed the one i posted earlier in the article :) - https://www.eternalcrusade.com/

The Behavior team are also extremely active on the forums, and reply often to the communities posts and questions and really are doing a lot to show fans that they have input so that this game will be as good as possible for everyone.
