What was your backer level?

We finally got some map data so just a lot of discussion while we wait to finally pick, We should be close-ish to something playable soon a year and a half maybe at max-ish barring any missteps. There is a lot of talking on the discord again if you have access and you want to meet some people. A good thing to do would be to visit at least one area in each kingdom on the server you're interested in to feel out the atmosphere and find those you enjoy being around.
