Pledge Rewards
From the spark of inspiration to the kindled flame of a concept to the forge of a playable game, Pantheon has had a remarkable journey. As a largely crowdfunded game, we have relied on our passionate playerbase to sustain our development through a series of pledges with varying rewards. Many of the rewards available to our earliest adopters were removed and replaced with new items and perks as the game and the team evolved. Having reached a point in development that we are able to clearly define our timeline, we knew it was time to also bring clarity to the scope of our rewards. Below you will find an updated description of most of those items.
For those backers who have reserved the rewards listed below, we invite you to join us on our official forums in the coming days as we will be creating a new thread to get feedback and provide further answers as questions arise. We thank each and every one of you for your continued support of Pantheon.
Early Name Reservation
Description: At some point prior to the release of Pantheon, Visionary Realms will open up a name reservation process. Once the announcement that the name reservation system is active is made, each pledge may reserve one character name as unique to his or her account on a first-come/first-served basis.
Founder’s Guild
Description: Access to an exclusive area in the game called the Founder’s Conclave. The Founder’s Conclave serves as a meeting place for its members and can be found in several in-game cities. Members can seek out allies, regale each other with tales of adventures, seek out lost tales or forgotten legends from those around them, re-equip before a new adventure, or work on their various crafts and skills.

POLICY As part of your pledge you may be entitled to submit ideas and/or content to us on certain design aspects of the game. We are constantly working on the game and receive ideas and content from multiple sources and have found that these may not be new and may be either concepts that are already in the public domain or are the same or similar to ideas or content developed by our own staff. For these reasons, and to avoid any disagreements, our willingness to consider ideas and content from people other than our employees is subject to the following policy. Our policy is founded in our desire to preserve our rights (A) in the previous and current ideas and developments of our own staff, (B) to use anything in the public domain, and (C) to build the best game out there without fear of claims of intellectual property infringement from people we have allowed to provide us with input on the game. We also wish to avoid uncertainty or disagreements as to what is disclosed to us. This policy is a binding obligation on you and if you do not want to provide us with ideas under this policy, you are not required to do so.
