6,000 backers, 85% funded and AMA (part2)!
Dear backers,
This is the final straight!
We have now reached 85% of our funding goal and we have a little more than a week to make it happen! The odds are good to reach it but the battle isn't over yet: we still have to find a little less than 75k€! With your help, this is possible! You can't imagine how much we are thankful for all the support you provide us: day after day, you are proving that Dual Universe is a game that must exist!
With the 6,000k backers milestone reached, all the backers having pledged for an Iron Founder pack or above will be able to reserve a name for one of their character! If you have pledged for a pack that already grant you a name reservation (with an Arkship Passenger ID Card), then you will be able to reserve a name for two of your characters (an account can have up to 3 characters). About the priority of who get the reservation name first, we use the simple principle "First-come, first-served".
Those who have a founder pack with an Arkship Passenger ID Card will choose their number one character name first. The priority will not depend on the size of the pledge but on the date you have backed the project. The earlier you backed, the higher priority you will have to choose your character name. Then there will be a round for the name reservation from the 6k backers milestone. Again, the earlier you backed the project, the higher the priority you will have to choose your character name.
You will have to choose one First Name and one Last Name for each name reservation. More details about the name limitations will be given in time, when we will ask you the character name (you will receive an email when we are ready with the process). However, we can already say that you won't be able to choose the name of a celebrity or a famous character (be it from a movie, a book, a game or any media), all this for copyright reasons. You won't be able to use a branded name for your character for the same reasons.
As promised, we have also released the second part of the "Ask Me Anything" event. Nearly 60 questions have been answered this time! You can read all the questions and answers on our forum here.
Cheers!
The Novaquark Team.

Keep in mind that having several backers chosing the same name should be quite rare as you are just a few thousands. The name reservation is a reward to make sure you get the name you want before official release where the number of players will - most probably - skyrocket. Having backers choosing the same name shouldn't be that common.

@BattleFalcon, @Allan Smithy :
We will ask both the name for the first round and the possible second round (for those who will have one) at the same time, in a form, at the end of the Kickstarter. We will first check all the names of the first round, and after that, if there are names already taken in the first round that have been entered in the second round, we'll contact the involved backers to find another name.

@Hunter, @Didier, @BluST:
Right now we got the last time you edited your pledge.
We don't have the time you created your pledge. However, we have your backer number, which is based on it. So we are able to know who has the priority on who.

When and how do we register our names?

As a indie gamedev, it makes me always happy to see a project flourish. Motivates me to work harder, so I can start a campaign, too.
Great work and best wishes!

Hi,
quick question - I picked the Digital Gold Founder Pack, will I still be in the first pick round, or is that only for those who picked the package with physical rewards?
BluST am October 3, 2016
I second the question of @Didier and @Hunter !
Do you have a way to get the backing date and time of the first time we backed?
It would only be fair to make use this one for the name reservation.
Didier am October 3, 2016
Same question than Hunter : I have upgraded my pledge : which time will be took into account?
Daniel Hilton am October 3, 2016
@BattleFalcon This can probably be done in real time as names are registered. If your name is taken it will probably inform you immediately (this is providing they use a backer kit or something integrated into their website)
BattleFalcon am October 3, 2016
How will you deal with people who do not get their chosen name for whatever reason? Will they get secondary rounds to submit a new name for reservation before you start the general roud of submissions for the second name?
Hunter am October 2, 2016
If I upgraded my pledge will that reset my backing time?

@Victordestroyer: Thanks for mentioning it! It has been corrected :)
