Curiosity (I haven't followed this too much).. could this new founders package be aimed at the Aussies? They were not on for the original founders package
I think you are correct Ducky. I do remember something about that in the very beginning of VFK too. Good point on bringing this up.
Hi,
I do not believe for a minute that they are marketing to Australia. I also do not believe that there really is staff from Australia working on the game. I think it is all just a smoke screen. Staff could tell people anything and they would take it as fact.
Im not sure where the idea that it is being aimed at the Australian market came from that doesnt make sense to me with the time zone. Perhaps because it says Australian Founders people have interpreted wrong, I did see someone asking if you had to be from Australia to get it.
I'm just quoting to quote.
This is where I have gotten the interpretation of the "Australian Market" from. I know there was more said by VFK, but sadly I think it's gone now, along with their original website. But at least Ducky and I know we are not crazy in what we did read somewhere, at some point. This little blurb should explain on why there were specific thoughts on that. What's in
RED obviously.
This appears way at the bottom of the VFK home page currently where you sign in at.: I cut and pasted this specific date portion only.

We've got a lot of exciting news to share with you this week.
As you have noticed, we have upgraded our web site!
We have a new video trailer highlighting upcoming features which you can find above.
We liked the music, "A New World", which we used in our first trailer so much that we used it again in this one.
We wanted to share with you some of the behind the scenes activities that go into creating the exciting new features we will be adding to the Wild West land. To see this special sneak peek, you can visit our Wild West story board.
We are highlighting our Medieval lands, and these will be previewed in our next alpha test.
We have included our new VFK constitution, which you will find on the right, outlining our values.
We are really pleased to be introducing a new land, in conjunction with the help of our friends in Australia, which is planned to open on June 20th. We are in the process of approving pre-registration character names, so watch your email for confirmation of your character name.
