In case you're a backer and you've not thought about this game for ten years, the following is from an email about Early Access I received on 05/30. I have interpreted this to mean than random Steam folks will have Early Access before backers since the store isn't up yet. I guess that doesn't really matter since the game/servers could be (and likely will be) reset before launch, but it might be emblematic of how this entire boondoggle was managed. IDK. I stopped caring. I don't even play MMOs anymore.

What does this mean for existing Backers?

Existing Backers whose accounts are in good standing and already own the game will continue to access Camelot Unchained through the Unchained Launcher. There is no additional cost for our Backers.

What about keys that come with existing Backer pledges?

Keys previously promised to existing Backers (i.e., Beta 3 invites) will still be honored. As it stands, our intent is to deliver these keys as a way for Backers to allow their friends to try the game before deciding if they want to purchase it. These keys will not be Steam codes, but will be redeemed via the Camelot Unchained store once it is back online, allowing Backers who are owed Beta 3 keys to distribute them to their friends as they wish. While this is yet to be implemented, we wanted to mention it here so that Backers know this method of access will be available in the future.

When will the CU store be open?

We are actively working on bringing the CU store online to provide an additional method for players to purchase the game.
