Everquest had its problems, but it was a great game. The only modern MMO that has any claim to being better is WoW.

Only problem with that is the amount of usable names is going to get smaller and smaller.

This is just wrong. I went back to EQLive a few years ago before finding P99, and in all the time I spent leveling up I never even saw another person (outside of the teleport hub thing) or found a single group. If I remember right, I could just AFK while my merc slaughtered everything around me...

We will all be dead/wearing diapers by the time VR is viable in the real MMO space. This thing sounds like some kind of goofy second life shit.

LOL

No, this isn't at all how normal news sites work. All they have to do is call/e-mail Brad and ask him for comment. Say they have a transcript from an interview and a screenshot from a deleted facebook post. Then go and interview Salim and some of the other developers, and post it all in an...

Did Salim actually post any information, or was it just more vague bullshit?

I've sent them multiple tips with all the shit that's out there prior to the Salim thing, and they've ignored all of it. Same with Destructoid, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, etc. Although I think Massively is the one that really can't justify ignoring it.

Yeah, it's a joke. If you're going to constantly post links to these kickstarter projects you need to do some type of follow up. These people talk out of both sides of their mouths. Massively will post a fucking story about Brad needing volunteers but not that he stole 50k. You guys aren't...

No, there have been at least 2 instances of fucked up kickstarted games that have gotten coverage on multiple sites (neither of which were any bigger than Pantheon), and plenty of other scandals in the gaming industry have been covered as well. They're just lazy as shit, and unless something...

What are you babbling about? I didn't say "everyone knows" anything. Quit moving the goal posts. The question was why these idiot gaming sites aren't covering this, not whether not the general population knows about something. Plenty of gaming sites have covered other instances where smaller...

Yep. It just feels like shit using those stupid sticks. And I'm not some kind of PC elitist, I just don't like how FPS games feel on consoles.

No one knows who that idiot is who took around 50k to make some platformer and never delivered, and it was still all over the place.

I played EQ back in the day and Project 1999 for a while. I had lurked on this site and its predecessor off and on for years, and followed the Pantheon kickstarter until shit hit the fan and I decided to register. I don't think I qualify as ex-pantheon because I never gave any money. I was...

It's not hearsay. He admitted to it in an interview and posted it on the Pantheon facebook page (and then deleted it). The reason the gaming sites haven't run with it is that they're just glorified press release aggregators.

If I remember right they have made it pretty clear there isn't going to be a PC version.

Where'd he say this?

le sigh

Yeah, they will "report" on the fact that he needs volunteers, but not that he stole money.

I don't buy it. People always love controversy.

So not only are these degenerate gaming web sites not covering the theft, they are also giving him free advertising to trick people into "volunteering" to create his game.

I really hope none of these people have reproduced.

They said rerolled is free advertising for them or something along those lines. They really suck at using voice chat, so it was hard to tell.

I'm pretty sure that's the best thing for them. They don't really seem qualified for anything other than maintaining Brad's cult of personality.

Haha, they're talking about the facebook stuff I posted. Nirtix said she "took her forum name off her account so they won't know who it is when she addresses it." This shit is priceless. I'm pantheon famous.

Yeah, well he needed it like a teddy bear, not like a sleeping pill.

These people remind me of a guy I knew who had to watch an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation every night to fall asleep. Dude was in college and it was like 2003.

I like how at the very beginning of the video when he basically just had a square, flat piece of land and nothing else she goes, "You do beautiful work." She has to be on painkillers or something.

"Don't forget, we're his team." - Nirtix

I just said Nirtix cause I thought I heard her talking on the twitch. She's not the one doing the Unity stuff, though.

I don't think she's doing any developing, but I'm not really in the loop with regard to that stuff. I'm talking about this poor sucker who Brad found to "volunteer." That said, I get it. I mean if you have nothing else to do and are trying to get into the industry it's worth a shot. Still...

Brad is probably going to start a trend with this shit. First it was rich developers begging for money from people working at McDonalds to make MMO's. Next it's going to be rich developers asking people to make their games for them for free. He's a pioneer.

Nirtix sounds every bit as annoying as her posts would suggest.

I'll put it back up sometime tonight. No point in doing it while he's watching the page.

When pressed on this issue he directed someone to the very bottom of the page where you have to click on a link to reveal the text. It's in the faq under the title "Doesn't it take more than 800k to make an MMO?" - If you're right, then this thing should have never even been allowed on...

Never heard of this site, but it's the first one I've found that is actually talking about it other than reddit:Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Dev Accused Of Taking Crowd Funds For Personal Use : SegmentNext

I agree with you, but I also honestly think he's so delusional that he thought he was doing shit the right way. The guy is off-the-charts retarded.

Yeah, this is why I would call it a scam. It's hard for me to believe anyone thought they were going to make an MMO with 145k and that band of idiots.

I think a lot of people believe he went into it with the intention of making a game, and is just so delusional that he didn't realize how big a clusterfuck he was creating. So that intention means it isn't technically a scam. Just depends on your definition I guess. It was either a scam or...

I just think it's a little worse than that. I think he needed money and used this project as a way to pay some bills without having to sell some of his shit/change his lifestyle. Granted, I think he figured it wouldn't make a difference because that trust fund dude would come through, but if...
