    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Aren't the purple names simply the forum moderators? At Pjpantheon.com Kyndread said he was a forum moderator and it seems he is one of the purple names. I don't see them being anymore involved with the game other than moderating the forums and likely wouldn't be privy to any information that...

    Realistically Pantheon would only need 10% of that to be profitable; anything beyond that would be gravy. The fact that "it's harder" is exactly the appeal; are there currently any PvE games out there right now that have harsh death penalties and "forced grouping"? The game is intended to fill...

    I actually liked Sarkeesian's videos.

    I'm pretty sure that Wyre Wintermule is Graye from the Vanguardthegame.com forums; he is a hardcore Vanboi that wouldn't lose faith in Brad McQuaid very easily. I'm pretty sure he is for real and explains why there was a $10 backer on day 2 that never last faith and pulled out.

    I'm not going to dig up the quote but they clarified that there would be no shop that sales "items of power". I'm sure you're probably referring to the kickstarter add-ons but those were put in place back when they were still trying to be serious about having the kickstarter be successful. The...

    Flight, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you that Brad really does need to find a competent CEO to run his company because he have proven time and again that management isn't his specialty. That said I actually enjoyed Vanguard despite the bugs and much rather have the game as it was in...

    Flight, Just because they have one city out of many that is similar(I've not played DikuMud so I'm taking your word for it) doesn't mean much. Almost all video games I played have Easter eggs and other features that are "borrowed" from other games so I'm not sure how relevant the Diku stuff...

    Since they are planning to charge a subscription they really don't need a huge number of players for the game to be profitable. If they can get 50,000 people to subscribe at $15/month they would have make $9 million in the first year. 50,000 subscribers doesn't sound that farfetched if they...

    That's the troll from the Kickstarter comments that kept making wild accusations about me. They also managed to piss off EQOANostaliga by accusing him of secretly being an employee of SOE and was referred to in his 12 minutes blame game video. Seriously that person is by far the worst of them...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Maybe this thread should be titled "Pantheon: ForumQuest" since that is the only "game" we have from them right now. I'm still cautiously optimistic that now that the craptastic Kickstarter campaign is over they will be able to actually get their shit together and get this thing back on...

    I sent an email to Ben with a few questions about their new website though I didn't ask that question in particularly. I don't think the forum access accumulates since I don't see anything that would suggest that it does. However most pledge packages do offer forum access and the more...

    There are at least a few good posters such as PhoneticHalo that have become Gold members. I'll probably also join at some point to once they start accepting payments through someone other than paypal. I want this game to be made and actually be good and the thing the team needs least right now...

    He didn't state the opposite. He said a dungeon finder would be a part of the game "if" it was deemed necessary during the alpha stage of the game. Unless the players demand en masse during alpha I actually doubt a dungeon finder would actually make into the release version of the game. I...
