Anyone hear anything on if the PA5 shake out was a success or bust? Crickets so far....

The very last 5 minutes or so of that podcast when they discuss their financial situation and being actively engaged in talks concerning selling the company are extremely interesting.

They wanted to set expectations for what people will be asked to do in their limited playtime for the PA5 Shake Out, which is basically the newbie experience for a few hours. They showed the Human Shaman starting area, the Human Dire Lord obviously started somewhere else. Right now, those are...

Gotta make that MMO money back somehow.

The one thing they potentially do have going for them is that they are partnered to some extent with Unity and Unity will supposedly be handling game security to a large degree. They talked about that at a conference the two companies did together awhile back. Not sure if that's still the...

Its not even a pre-alpha, it's a weekend stress test with just two classes in a very restricted area. Those 1K buy in Pre-Alpha testers get to play (Lag out) for one two hour block and that is it. The real pre-alpha will come some time down the road, and they need to buy some time because they...

Your premise is correct essentially. We know his assets went to his wife and then when she died a month later, most likely everything went to the 22 year old daughter. Somewhere in that time frame, Joppa said VR got the blessing from Brad's family to continue making the game. Hopefully, the...

No idea. General consensus seemed to be that the Pre-Alpha testers thought it had a good EQ1 feel and was on the right path. For whatever reason, Project Faerthale ended up being a reboot, that was two years ago. All classes have been changed to a node based ability system, right now just the...

State of the Game update tonight was basically that they rebooted the entire game sometime in the last year or so and are redoing everything from zones to classes. Right now they have two classes in game (Shaman and Dire Lord) if I understood them correctly. They are also actively removing any...

Or...maybe his wife was losing her battle and he figured his life insurance policy might be the only way to potentially get her better care. Or maybe it was all just a bad accident. Regardless, terrible situation, wish he was still leading up the charge on Pantheon.

Had no idea Brad's wife was dying from cancer and passed a month after he did. Jesus. Wonder what his 22 year old daughter is doing with Visionary Realms, did she sell it off, funding it from life insurance policies, etc?

Nah, this isn't even an MMO. It's basically a co-op game with public events like GW2. I think the end game trials are 12 man. I got it a few months ago, and I enjoy the story lines, have three friends I run all the dungeons with, but for the most part I just play solo and run around. I have...

Good informational stream, EQ1 Shaman complete with Canni confirmed. A little sketchy on the more modern combo system concept. If these guys can ever actually get this game done and launched, it might be decent. Big if though.

Thought the three remaining model reveals were pretty good. I'm kind of getting a little faith restored with this recent reveal push. I like all the things they are doing, I just don't like the pace at which they are doing them. It does seem like things are speeding up a tad now since they...

Who knows when this damn thing will release, if ever, but I have to imagine that if they use Project Faerthale as a demo or even to lead a new kickstarter fund drive, they should get some bites. Zero chance this gets released without significantly more funding, but they do at least appear to...

Sounds like a good value, what is the Collector's Edition?

Still hoping for the best with this game, but that stream was flatout a disaster in my book. It's obvious Cohh isn't practicing the Warrior, so he has no idea what he is doing and it showed as half the stream was him borking the pulls and getting everyone killed. The same exact pull too. The...

Smedley's Amazon MMO project is a new Lord of the Rings game.

I agree that if the company is smart and takes advantage of the emotions and good will surrounding Brad's death, especially if phrased in some form of getting Brad's final game and dream to launch, this tragedy could prove to be a funding bonanza. And I hope they are astute enough to do so with...

I don't think any of the shit said on this forum had much of an impact on Brad's death. He seemed to be at peace with his mistakes and owned up to them in many interviews over the last few years. He also seemed pretty upbeat on the changes he made and how Visionary Realms and Pantheon was...

Hey man, it's been 15 months since we've seen anything relatively new. That logo is some serious progress all things considered.

Ill sum it up. They've decided they are not going to allow multi-boxing.

The guy I said was uncomfortable on camera isn't a programmer though, he's the Director of Promotional Content. He might be the best face on their team as well (lol), so they seem to want him on camera. Regardless, I hope he improves because I am interested in hearing if there is any progress...

Gotta work on your video presence, you're very awkward. Hopefully, we'll see some improvement going forward. I feel like you wouldn't actually disagree with that feedback, though your stalker (Saicred?) clearly does.

Da fuq? Did your parents make you wear a dress and tuck your junk as a kid? What kind of deranged tranny gets offended at the word "uncomfortable"? Regardless, welcome to the forums! This thread needs more white knights for Pantheon. I wish you luck.

Chunky dude was solid as a host, but the guy with the schnozz is so uncomfortable on camera, it makes me uncomfortable watching it.

This is potentially something to be excited about, we'll see, but yeah, "very early stage of development"....so at least 5 years. One of the main Riot guys a few years ago was talking about them making an MMO with the playstyle somewhere between WoW and Wildstar, so a little more twitch based...

Smedley apparently has something cooking with Amazon, maybe that's the new hope...?

I'm completely baffled by whatever that is Brad just typed out. It's some sort of mash up of selling his game, throwing out some ideas, defending and questioning some of their own decisions to this point, and kind of asking for constructive criticism. It was not coherent at all. I have kept...

This is generally my thought process as well. I enjoyed EQ1, EQ2, and Vanguard. All games Brad had a heavy hand in developing. He's batting 1.000% for me. I'm fairly confident this game won't live up to my hopes, but that it will still be something I find enjoyable to some degree. In the...

Chris was hired as the music producer originally. He did an interview in July 2016 where he talked about taking over the project. They still say this is a niche game for the old school market. They are very consistent about that. However, they also don't want to simply claim this is for EQ...

I buy into the its only been two years of stable production theory. Maybe leasing Unity shaves a year or two off. Industry standard is 5-7 years for an MMO. I think it will be 3-5 more years. If they partner with a publisher and hire some junior animators and extra artists, it could speed...

It hasn't been five years. Chris took over in 2016. 3 years. And I'm sure the beginning of that time period wasn't ideal as they still largely had a rag tag group of volunteers but mostly no actual employees, so the team had to be formed and weeded out. In interviews, Chris and Kilsin have...

It's written a little poorly, but what he meant is that if you upgrade your pledge past the $250 tier (the lifetime sub KS tier), you can get the modern pledges and awards that come with them while keeping the lifetime sub as well. You don't have to actually pay more just to continue to keep...

I'm still cautiously optimistic. There's no reason not to be. The project as a whole, as well as the actual team, is growing every few months. Brad is essentially a PR marketing name at this point only, Chris Perkins is running the project, and I do have some actual faith in him. The CEO is...

Whatcha gonna do with that account? You remember what your pledge was called?

Jacksonville FL here. Hasn't rained in 30 days. Might have had a brief sprinkle somewhere in there. Has been hell keeping the grass and shrubs/greenery alive in basically straight 100 degree heat for that entire stretch. Looks like we should finally get some rain tomorrow and potentially for...

I hope he has the final two books finished. A deal like that with HBO actually does make some sense. This is definitely in the hope territory for me, I have had this thought many times over the last few years and with that actor sounding very certain about it, I'm pretty hyped.

I'm not sure these other GoT shows are going to go the way HBO thinks they will. Without rock solid source material, and what's left is pretty limited, the only thing that has been proven is that the writers for these types of fantasy shows suck when forced to create cohesive plots on their...

Glad the show is wrapping up, it has turned to utter shit.
