Pathfinder Online is one of the more intriguing mmo games currently in development. Its mixture of sandbox and theme park mmo features should make for some fascinating gameplay. While the game is still in its early testing stages, a cry was sent out by Ryan Dancey, the CEO of Goblinworks, for current players to actively go out and recruit additional players on top of the financial backing that they're already providing. Was Pathfinder Online right to ask backers to recruit more players?
Joanna Mueller writes: "Technically, the game does still exist, early enrollment version 12 came out last month, but it has mostly fallen into obscurity. This isn’t aided by the fact that Goblinworks has ceased monitoring their campaign page. Even if backers did still care about the project, they’d have to hunt down information on their own."
Goblinworks Inc. has been working on Pathfinder Online for four years with over one million dollars of Kickstarter money, but even that hasn't been enough.
Today CEO of Goblinworks Lisa Stevens sent out information to KickStarter backers for Pathfinder Online informing them that if funding is acquired the ownership of the franchise will be transferred over to another company owned by a longtime player of Pathfinder Online
