Attention Pay Pal Backers, we need some information please!
Firstly, we apologize for all the problems us using PayPal has caused. They have a little known policy against using their service for "Pre-Orders" which is why Kickstarter doesn't accept them as payment by default.
We thought we were doing a good thing by accepting them separately to help out fans that didn't have access to Amazon payments but it has turned into a fiasco to say the least.
Here's what's happening, PayPal has frozen the account until such time as we can prove to them that the game has come out and is being released to the customers, they also require us to validate more information etc. This has the unfortunate side effect that we haven't been able to get any contact information for any of you backers that used PayPal as it's all protected by their system as a service to you. . . ipso facto it seems like we abandoned you PayPal backers when the reality is that couldn't be further from the truth.
We are 100% guaranteeing that anyone that backed this project via PayPal will receive their reward for doing so just as if they backed it via Amazon Payments. Even if PayPal decides that all of the pledges remain frozen until the game actually starts it's January Open beta.
What's this mean for you?
Well we need you to fill out this survey for us:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEl6aHFuU0lXSnRjbXpITFlFdVR1Nmc6MQ
Please provide us your information in this form and we'll send you information on how to access the forums at the appropriate times etc.
PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT THAT FORM IF YOU DID NOT PAY WITH PAYPAL, ONLY THOSE THAT PAID WITH PAYPAL SHOULD FILL OUT THIS FORM.
We sincerely apologize for the problems,
Thanks for your patience, and your support!

Same, I would like to know if everything worked out alright as well.
Creator Cloudmaster on August 15, 2012
how can i tell if im alright now?
Creator Robert on August 15, 2012
My email is constantly spammed with crap from facebook and I don't know how to stop it from doing that, so could someone post an update on here anytime something new happens?
Creator Johnathon on August 13, 2012
I left a message in the survey as i paid with Paypal. I recommended creating a Facebook page (if you haven't). It will make everything run smoother as emails and checking this site are unreliable. This will help me and I'm sure many others a great deal.
Creator cole penoyer on August 12, 2012
i think im don am i
Creator Eric tran on August 1, 2012
can you make more updates please =D
Creator Winterkewl Games LLC on July 31, 2012
If you received a receipt email from Kickstarter and Amazon then you did NOT pay with PayPal.
Creator Bjarke Grøn on July 29, 2012
How do i know if i payed through paypal?
Creator nathan0905 on July 26, 2012
@mark ihave the same prob
Creator Winterkewl Games LLC on July 17, 2012
@Tomclone the physical rewards haven't been made yet, please note the reward for the $90 estimated delivery for Dec 2012 but that's only an estimate as well. We're working on organizing the creation of all of the physical rewards and the logistics to ship them all out. We will make an announcement when they are getting closer to being ready. Thanks!
Creator Mark on July 12, 2012
Hey, has anyone else who pledged below $60 been asked to submit their payment? I'm wondering because I have yet to receive anything via email. Thanks.
Creator Tomclone on July 12, 2012
I submitted my payment May 28th and today is July 12 (I still don't have the $90 Package). Am I impatient or is this too long?
Creator Tomclone on July 12, 2012
I paid with Amazon just before the due date ended and How long will it take to get my package?
Creator Kate Green on July 6, 2012
I paid via Paypal and it says I'm a backer, and I have access to the forums ...do I still get my t-shirt??!???!!!
Creator Flaming.John on July 6, 2012

Creator Kris Bright on June 25, 2012
January is the OPEN Beta. Novemeber is the early CLOSED Beta and December is the Closed Beta.
Creator Aaron Wildish on June 20, 2012
Is there going to be a boss to fight?
Creator Flaming.John on June 16, 2012

Creator PoweringUp on June 16, 2012
January is the Beta? I thought it was like November?
Creator Antman on June 15, 2012
i did the same thing as Tom, i did it cause i always use paypal. but the comment after his implies that i didnt actually pay with paypal... oh well.
Creator Nori on June 15, 2012
And this is why I hate paypal and avoid it if at all possible... They suck so bad...
Creator Veav on June 15, 2012
If you pledged through Kickstarter (you have a YOU SELECTED on your pledge to the right) you paid via Amazon Payments. If you believe you're a backer but you don't see anything to the right, and don't have Yogventures on My Backed Projects up top - you paid by Paypal, or maybe by feeding money to a carrier pigeon.
Creator ostrich160 on June 15, 2012
Im not 100% sure whether or not I payed with paypal, but because I usually do I just filled out the form to be sure
Creator Toby Cossairt on June 15, 2012
Never mind . . . I looked at my recent payments and realized I used Amazon.
Creator Toby Cossairt on June 15, 2012
Is there a way to tell how you payed, because I'm not sure if I used Paypal or not . . .
Creator Veav on June 15, 2012
Well, that's good to know, for every other kickstarter out there. Thanks for airing this!
Creator Ruben Fernandes on June 15, 2012
this is why Paypal sucks balls, i feel you bros, my Paypal also got blocked for stupid reasons aswell and i wasn't yet able to get the money i still have there back after 4 months
