If I was VR, I would begin preparing the KS relaunch now. I would have a low target ($250Kish) with a budgeted plan to complete a proper tech demo. No studio. I would launch as soon after the current KS ends as possible.

It is inevitable that VR is going to get funded. It is clear there is support to get this idea off the ground. If this KS fails, I believe they'll be able to recover most of the funds offered this round; either through a new expedited KS (I say that not knowing the rules) or a more direct...

The KS needs to average more than $15K per day the rest of the way to be within range of a $240K miracle the final three days. I agree that this KS has miracle potential due to high interest, but it needs to maintain what it's done today to enable that.

I think the video was great for the KS and I don't want to criticize it at all. But I disagree here. A man takes ownership and looks you in the eye. Brad handled the question like a wounded animal. It showed he cared, but it was a "all these bad things happened to me" answer. A man...

I love the interview. This is all the stuff I loved when learning EQ. Except the Trak zerg.

I would love for someone to keep it real with Brad. If he handled it well and said the right things, he could win over a lot of people like me. Edit: The gushing fan interviews thus far have likely not swayed a single cynic. Like that mmobuff interview: talk show rubbish.

- mentoring - brotherhood - rest exp - isle of dawn - hideous group class balance (non-existent) - cheap flying mount rentals (were supposed to be high end loot) - trivial fast travel - etc He further butchered VG. Maybe because SOE upper management instructed him to.

So far today... backers: 40 pledges: $11696 avg: $292.40 Loot whores.

Anyone who has followed Brad's games long enough should know that chatting with fans about his games appears to be what he enjoys most in life. It's a labor of love.

I was the hardcore player in that scenario.My wardrobe in EQ was worth more than I spend on clothes in 10 years.

hardcore player: "I'm going to impress those noobs with my elite gear" noob: "wow, that guy must have no life. or ebay. loser. I'm going to ask him for shit."

Sure I have. I have said I want this game to happen. I participate in this thread because it's extremely interesting to me. I tend to discuss things interesting to me. I'm not always positive about topics interesting to me. Pretty shocking, huh?

As a skeptic on the fence, this does not assure me at all. Especially because VR came to the KS table so unprepared. Your group does not appear to have its act together. I think you have to realize that your past doesn't disappear just because you want it to. There's a lot of once-burned...

According to Kicktraq, there are 24 days and 2 mins remaining... - current daily avg: $14,874 - required daily avg: $22,797 - past 7 days daily avg: $9,528 - 24 full days remaining - $15,000*21 + $80,000*3 + $252,296 = $807,296 The project needs to avg $15K/day the next 21 days to be...
