I don't think you guys have been following the developer interviews very closely, if at all. Salim is one of the big proponents of sticking to old-school EQ, arguably more-so than Brad. Salim is very knowledgeable about EQ; classes, mechanics, etc. I'm glad he's on the team.

Yup, I know that some people wait until the very last day to pledge. I don't know why someone would wait until all of the good rewards are gone, but just like buying something on eBay, some people wait until there's only a few hours left.

Couple comments for LFG and for Brad. LFG, You do make a valid point of discussion when you talk about a melee class or non-porting class not having the convenience of a porting class. I don't know what your MMO experience is, but I'll talk in EQ language. EQ was designed so that when...

You should be more clear. A LFG window that shows players LFG is different than a LFG tool that TPs you wherever you want.

Brad, as a player who doesn't like the idea of every player just clicking stones to TP around the world, I'll try to answer this with an open mind. I have a few ideas, but first, a few comments. #1: You can always add TP stones or whatever in post-launch, but it would be hard to take them...

This game is drawing a lot of attention for the little amount of funding its receiving. I really think it will come down to the wire on it. Many people are skeptical but man has the word got out. I wouldn't be surprised to see a big round of pledges at the end.

Reptilian race is a stretch goal. The last playable races are going to be Troll, Elf, and some type of animal race.

The hypocracy of what I ask for is that mutilation is limited as much as possible, yet do not have TLC or no-drop items. I think if you mix up the spawn points, it would do a good job to not encourage farming, yet not completely take it away and still keep named up for other groups somewhere...

Brad, where's the high res version of this?

I followed VG and the Sigil boards religiously and never remember seeing that.

If someone wants to add "boob clothes" to the game, just leave it as stuff with no armor rating. That way people only wear it out of combat. The armor you wear to protect your body should berealarmor. Brad has said that he wants to use instancing to deliver linear story telling content. I think...

Brad, look at LDoN (Lost Dungeons of Norrath) as a template on how to do instancing right. If you sprinkle in linear story telling like that throughout the game world, I think you can get away with it. I'm hardcore anti-instancing and I'm even fine with that approach. I'm glad you're going with...

Ihighlydoubt it means that you run your own world apart from the company (like EQ EMU), like some people think. They still need to patch the game and collect revenue. I'm pretty sure you will still have to pay a subscription, but the difference is when you log into the game you can choose to...

Brad, Here are few concerns that I'm seeing on the Internet. Some people are still expressing concerns over some "old school" mechanics They think you want this game to be an endless level grindThey think you will make it impossible to solo, rather than just group focusedThey think this...

BTW, I think Brad knows who did the 10k pledge. Within 4 minutes it was announced on Twitter.
