Like I had mentioned earlier, this means that problems that would be nigh irreversible in another MMO (bad world design comes to mind) are not major issues for Crowfall. Another interesting part of their design philosophy is that they don't want to "balance" the game. Basically, if there is...

Oh don't worry, there will be people there. Just not yours ;)

To answer the implict question of "How can I be confident that Crowfall will be able to pay for its development": Crowfall does not have the same costs as a standard MMO. The two main costs in MMOs are PvE content (raids, quests, events etc.), and making the actual world. Crowfall has neither...
