Hey T-RAY! Did I tell you the art is crazy sick!? Well it is man!!!

Reading over what people expect and what your presenting without a price would not justify spending $149 which is the going rate for a collectors addition if that is what you mean by founders edition. Let's take a look at Guild wars 2's list https://buy.guildwars2.com/en/collectors-edition

Guild Wars 2 game
Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill*
Miniature Rytlock*
Golem Banker*
Chalice of Glory*
Tome of Influence*
10-inch Figurine of Rytlock
112-page Making of Guild Wars 2 book
Custom Art Frame
Art Portfolio and Five Art Prints
Best of Guild Wars 2 Soundtrack CD

This game was released on 8/28/12. You can see they put a lot of in-game items as well as art work and music etc....

Here is BF3 Premium 59.99 with all expansions (they divided their player base by the way)

I could quote so many games you would be mad at me for completely nerd-ing out but I think these two really shows player expectations currently in this market.

Games with NPC's will always get more money then pvp games it seems. With that said provided you implement aesthetics like emotes, taunts etc.. and make them exclusive one time only, I do not see why you cannot move a large volume $99 collectors additions. People are expecting this game to go platinum even in the current condition beta is in. With that said, to offset this high price it would be very wise to have items that cost 10 cents as well. Total biscuit gave this advice some time ago so I'm just repeating what he said. Those TR think they know everything!

Furthermore soe marketing is not strong enough imo, so I hope when you guys come to decide the package you really push it cause the game really is awesome. SWTOR-Titanic gorilla marketing should get you guys past your nut. I play helluva lot of mmo games online and a lot of players have no idea who or what planetside2 is. I'm like dude...do you even live on this planet.. its planetside for christs sake!

Oh and by the way founder sounds like I'm investing in a http://www.kickstarter.com/ company.

just my 2 cents
