No, it was originally proposed by one of the original lead developers of EQ and at various points people who had worked on EQ/Vanguard were employed, but AFAIK none of the current team ever worked on EQ, and the current lead didn't even play EQ back in the day. I think they've tried to move away...

Did these "Furor-lead PUG raids" actually exist, anyone?

Still using mismatched royalty-free assets, btw:

Glad to see they're finally at the idle animations stage of development! Not long left now guys, idle animations are usually one of the last things to be implemented!

Game looked good in the M&M guys stream. Having a Minecraft-esque blocky world without the actual block building/destruction mechanics seems a wasted opportunity at best, however.

If you don't have time to alt-tab to or print out a map then, yeah, you don't have time for this type of game any more unfortunately. But I'd say you're actually in the minority of people here, most of us still have time to look at a map.

Blizzard, Valve & Ea have playerbases of millions of people. How many l33t hax0rs do you think there's gonna be in Pantheon's tiny amount of players?

Yeah, I swear studying those handdrawn maps out of game and planning where to go was half the fun of EQ back then.

lol I've never heard of these "pixel reader overlay" map hacks before, I have to wonder what percentage of the New World playerbase actually uses them. I can't imagine a significant enough portion of oldschool EQ/P99 hardered Pantheon players will bother with that kind of thing for it to be a...

I think I remember hearing somewhere they were an accident. A lot of the "features" of early EQ were accidents that just stuck. Kiting etc. There wasn't a massive amount of planning put into the initial mechanics beyond "let's make TorilMUD but 3D".

Or like revisiting an old game you never completed back in the day and don't have time to any more and using cheat codes to finally experience the content you never got to see.

It's hard to find alpha screenshots of Elden Ring because From Software is a legitimate company that keeps their alpha stage in-house and doesn't attempt to monetize it.

The guy unironically calls himself "The Nathan NAPALM" and starts videos about MMO videogames with "God is good".

I'm not sure why a bunch of Turkish scammers linked to gold reselling operations are the people you've decided to pin your hopes on for this but okay.

This doesn't look any more legit than those faked Pantheon videos where they had six people running around in a Unity scene. It doesn't show an MMORPG, it shows six character models networked together running around a bunch of assets.
