You want to raise some dev funds for this?
PRE SELL some Assets, IE Vorpal Swords (whatever these are..) Shield of NX, AE Armor, for example.
Say you make a whole set of 1000NXT armor and items, these items would have a value of 1500NXT once the game starts. Pre investors could put theirs up for sale, and therefore individual investors could make a profit and help the game get started
Might be one day the most expensive digital items in the world

I love the concept!
Yeah it would have to be pre game only, irreplaceable, and even make each one different, so that there isn't just 100 pre game Vorpal World Killers, that no one else can get..
