I'd much rather the rapper Salim be part of the team than the SOE Salim -_- Silius has/had the worst MMO ideas - the KDQ bullshit in VG. Siliusauraus. Etc.

Probably proof that SOE is helping out a little - freaking Salim I suspect SOE's attorneys were helping with the trademark search/registration.

Looks like a couple more people you can add to your Pantheon Team List from the PantheonRotF twitter followers.

Quests are the red-headed stepchild of our genre: you can't get rid of them, in time you'll probably even come to love them, but you really don't want too many. /aside Someone already setup a fansite. Lol.

Noooo. No XP for quests, and quests should be uncommon (not rare, just uncommon). The quest grind to cap is a horrible creeping virus that swallows all joy out of an MMO. Also, quest drops from mobs without needing to be on the quest (EQ style).

Gold is the new Brown. @The Name - Pantheon of the Ancients was one of my favorite leveling zones of Original VG. Then it got gutted by SOE and turned into a grindy blechy high-level zone. So with that as bg I view the name as an un-intentional screw-you to Silius and the SOE team that...

Fair enough but I'm a lot more concerned with whether or not you figured out that Vanguard was a glorious example of the Second System effect (aka scope creep) and you all plan to focus on being more focused instead of big for the sake of being big.

For the record $100 is a lot to me too at this exact point in time due to Christmas presents, car payment and rent, so I understand. I'm actually hoping the kickstarter doesn't start until the 15th or so when I actually have a little money I can blow on it.

There is no way they could handle that amount of people. Remember that optimization is one of the last things that happens with an mmo rollout. Not only couldn't the (likely) single server handle the number of people who would dive into alpha at the 150 level there also wouldn't be a lot for...

I didn't think of it that way, but you're right. Brad can do an either/or - he doesn't have to do one or the other like I was thinking. Example: Reward Level of $1000 for FnFAlpha Access with no monthly fee until live, Uber title, Name reservation for live and a very nice starting item...

They're very small and their resources are tied up with SOE. It's not a plug and play tech. You would think there would be other dynamic mob middleware though.

Not when Fukushima #3 is currently venting radioactive steam and possibly in the midst of either another meltdown or its corium is hitting the groundwater and that goes unreported in the MSM. Enjoy your PBFT.

You're just pissed you can't come up with a better alternative to fully funding EverBrad.

Yeah, too bad about SB. But there has to be some other dynamic content middleware they can leverage. As others have suggested would be a good thing if there were some advances to core game play such as a mix of static and dynamic mobs.

Trolling confirmed.

So you were just trolling. Nice.

Everyone did not dream of a Sony connection. A number of ex Vanguard players won't touch any game associated with SOE because of how they got screwed over by the Sony VG team. People forget that post APW, Vanguard actually came a little ways back from the dead then SOE killed development and...

World of difference between giant co making money grab and small co desperate for funding. The players who want the game will pay if you structure the deal properly thus my suggestion of equivalent reduction of paid-in subscription once game goes live. There are other possibilities such as in...

Yes. It is fucking brilliant because you get what you paid for in reduced subscription fees for the amount you paid in beta once the game goes live. Oh, and you also get a completed game.

People either have to pay up or shut up if they want an improved EQ. This game was never going to be FTP and was always going to cost us players more than it should. I think Creed is optimistic on the 2 million, but fine. That means they have to come up with another 5 million between...

EQ cost 7 million in todays dollars. Brad is not going to be able to raise 7 million on kickstarter. And if the game is a lot smaller than vanilla EQ there won't be much for anyone to do at release, though I suppose Brad could keep on hanging a beta label on the game forever. A whole host of...

It is vapor untill and unless Brad gets at least a million from the kickstarter. A million won't pay for the MMO, but a million plus subscription based Alpha and beta access just might. Newco might consider having a medium reward level for alpha and a minimal reward level for beta (with...

1. I agree with Mughal that it's just vaporware right now. 2. Disagree with your assessment if niche MMOs. EVE is niche and has done alright. I think the real problem with MMOs today is an attempt to appeal to everyone. Blizzard gets away with it because they have massive cash do they can...

This thread is proof the average liberal lacks a basic bullshit detector. When an article by a strong supporter of nuclear power in a Forbes column tried to diminish concern over a massive, continued leak of radioactive wastewater by comparing the harm to the miniscule amount of radioactive...

Total fail if reading comp. 1. The site was the examiner. Go to the OP. 2. The lizard people post was the joke because Araysar refuses to admit that he's wrong, so as usual he has to attack the messenger to bury the message. Mea Culpa for arguing with idiots. But don't worry boys...

There was never much hope, just a fool's hope.

It wasn't, but does seem to put you in a such a tizzy that you can't even tell when I'm joke posting about lizard people. Eh, Whatever. Must crash, I'll say hello to the lizard people for you in the morning.

I don't know. I'll ask the lizard people tomorrow. I've got a 9:30 meeting with them - though they're always fucking late.

You are right. Okay, I take it you'll have no problem eating fresh fish from the Pacific Ocean within a few miles of the reactors?

So you'll have no problem eating some fish fresh from Fukushima Bay then?

You've been eating a bit too much Bluefin Tuna the strontium's going to your skull.

You suspect wrong. And what do you have against Tuna? Though, to be sure, I would have put it in the "Things that are going to kill you if you eat/use/smoke too much" thread but there wasn't one. I blame Obama, or Tuco.

Good luck with that Sebudai, though I suspect you're all bark, no bite. @Araysar Keep on eating that Tuna.

Well if they want to fuck us over they can. They have three melted cores that aren't going anywhere anytime soon and something like 3,000 fuel rods to remove.

I keep telling you - please, for the love of God, keep eating fish. Particularly Tuna or Swordfish. You are the last person on Earth - or at least this board - I would want to stop eating fish

Get this through your idiot skull: Pacific Bluefin Tuna go back and forth between Japan and the West Coast of the United States

No I think the average PBFT has eaten smaller fish that have been exposed to radioactivity from fukushima or has eaten smaller fish that have eaten even smaller fish that have been exposed to radioactivity from fukushima. A question to ask yourself is why we aren't currently testing fish for...

See this is why I think you're stupid. PBFT migration patterns are between Japan and Western US (Spawning Grounds). That's a two second google/bing and yet you can't be bothered to do the look up.

I take it you're unaware that Pacific Bluefin Tuna swim back and forth between the US and Japan? That the fish caught off the coast of California may have been near the coast of Japan a hundred days before?
