For people interested in a little bit of Origin history: http://www.raphkoster.com/2014/06/19/privateer-online/ Interesting, think where we would be today if those games had been released....

Another question not directly related to Pantheon, but probably shedding some light on Brads work ethics... what did he do the last time he worked at SOE? He was a member of the Vanguard dev team, made some forum posts and then vanished again for months. The he resurfaced with the EQ1 dev...

And also: What is Brads role right now? "Managing" the team(whatever that means), looking for investors & a real CEO? He wants to be the CCO and be "hands off", just delivering ideas & concepts? Who in their right mind would invest big money in this project? Who in their right mind & with the...

This is all very confusing... Was there at any time anyone else employed by VRI except Brad? Did the original team have any written contracts? Did the money paid on the VRI site go to a VRI PayPal account or Brads personal account?

I dont want to defend the project, but why do you hate on them? This is no longer (and it really never was) a project from a professional gaming studio/startup. This is now at best an amateur project, done by a few people for free in their spare time. I dont expect anything, certainly not a...

If the profile is correct, then Brad posted a whopping 3 times in the last 3 weeks on his own forums (or are there hidden forums sections that dont count in the profile?).... thats all i need to know. Game is 100% dead, the pantheon thread on rerolled is more active than the whole pantheon...

2k a month? I guess thats mostly from forums-subs? so about 100-130 subbers still? Crazy people... they deserve to loose their money, fleece them good Brad!

So, what are the design goals for Pantheon now? A "religion-influenced" MMO? Or still "old-school" MMO? Or what? Why is Brad still continuing with this shitshow? I cant believe he gets even 100 dollars a month out of it right now....

Official announcement on realm transfers: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/f...alm-transfers/

I have to say, those explorer jumping puzzles are really fun. 1h fooling around at celestia falls with those red fungus jumpers

As long as you enjoy the first month and get 50+ hours out of it you cant really complain. But yeah, a lot of people will stop after the first month, its just the way it is with MMOs...

Aaaannnddddd.... first lvl 50 on Ithika (DE-PVE), i cant believe it took him just 24h. Cazy people...

They should just give every registered account one free server transfer. So people can spread out for the launch and get back together when things have calmed down in 1-2 weeks ...

LOL! Man, WS launch is a once in a lifetime event

I like the gfx, easy on the eyes and nicely colorful. They are really perfect for the setting and their over-the-top humor. Another point to consider is that cartoon-style gfx age better and can be upgraded faster/easier, important for MMOs which are played for years. But i guess its really...

How dare you question the team... they are hard at work Update: 5/27/14: Please welcome Burdock to the Lore Team! He comes all the way from down under! Please congratulate Radash -- he has been promoted to Lead Programmer! We have a decent high level road map and are meeting today via...

Yep, all those AAA MMOs (GW2/SWTOR/ESO/WS) we have seen released the last 2 years were started when? 2008-2009? When WOW was growing beyond even the wildest dreams of Blizz themselves, and investors saw only the boatloads of money Blizz made... this "Phase" is over now. The Next Phase are...

I hate all running animations except Granok&Chua (humans are also ok). I will be playing Granok engi / Human esper. Chua point of view is too low for me, i like to see the horizon

New update from Brad, probably written while playing ArcheAge alpha: I just updated the news -- Sparkling is now Producer of the project, and we have two new programmers! I am working right now on new version control with them so hopefully they'll be able to sync the project tomorrow at some...

Perfect for rerolled devs... who can make the most hardcore shard nobody wants to play?

Was this already posted? "Update: We are having great success re-building the team, including the Lore and Moderator teams. A huge thanks to all who are volunteering their time! 1. New Lore: the WarWizard. Check it out in the Wiki and on FB (the new art from JP Targete is full size on...

The new artwork is the best "content" for pantheon i have yet seen. Some minor things though, the legs look too thin compared to the arms considering his armor. The arm holding the sword seems thicker then the other one. Also, the swordarm is placed too low on the body i think...

Open beta from may 8 to may 18: http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/ne...-coming-may-8/

They should have agreed beforehand about the money and done at least a written contract about it. Who gets what for how much work, and the amount of work shoud have been agreed upon. Like, you do X concept art pieces and get Y $$ for it. Has any of these "industry verteran devs" given this...

I bought the "alpha-pack" last week and have a lot of fun just goofing around, testing different low-level-builds etc. The game is effectively complete&finished (apart from the translation), so its not really an alpha-test. If they really convert the alpha-server to the PTS-server without wiping...

If this is true then he should have simply said he needed time&money for the treatment of his wife? Everyone would at least understand that....

Yeah, people who are familiar with Brads history automatically assume the worst if a statement is vague....

"Brad was having personal problems at the time and needed to take a cash advance from the project." What problems? Thats such a broad statement that it could be anything. And with Brads history this is not good and leads to lots of speculation. Problems & 45k pay & disappearances for...

Wow, KTAM is really pissed... thats the drama we want to see (not really, but what else is there? Certainly nothing related to the proposed MMO).

Really, the only way he would stand a chance to even get to the same amount they had in the first KS is a demo that blows people away. Good polish, good art, combat system fleshed out, 1 area + 1 dungeon playable, several classes inculded, grouping functional, looting functional, etc... i...

So, another kickstarter soonish? Well, i guess Brad telling us that they will not do another crowdfunding (except on their own site) is no longer true. Very good, i cant wait for it, 30 days+ of pure AAA entertainment Bayr, they got to 460k....

So now, after everything went down, he shows not only the game/demo, but different builds detailing the evolution of it? Why the hell didnt they do that for their forum subscribers? Show the newest build every 2 weeks, discuss it. That would have been a much better way to keep the faith&interest...

There is talk about the alpha-server converting to a PTS (including the chars, so no wipe) once the game goes live. I cant tell if that is just an idea from Trion right now or if they will really do it this way...

"Additionally, as I've mentioned elsewhere, this is a SMALL patch for the week. We have over 750 changes/bug fixes queued up for Beta, but we can't get those all integrated and tested and stabilized in a week time frame. Stability is important right now" That was posted by Cougar (Director of...

So what? Even 30-50k players with a sub-model (10$ per month) would work well enough. The only thing holding it back is thats just too small a market for a normal publisher.

Oculus Rift/Sony Project Morpheus should be the next "gamechanger"-tech. The first game to really use that tech to full effect can make a fortune. Think about a 1st-person VR-MMO done right.... a true revolution i think.

Did anyone see this one: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...f-Sandbox.html Pretty interesting, team Brad could do Pantheon as a shard in Shards Online

I guess in Brads ideal world his KS+website campaign would have copied the success of Chris Roberts/StarCitizen crowdfunding (maybe on a smaller scale) to be able to do the whole game without "investor/publisher"-money.
