lol yea, Starcraft selling 10 million copies had nothing to do with the success of WOW. There was also this little game called Diablo that had a little something to do with it. But I'm sure Blizzards excellent reputation had nothing to do with the success of WOW. Thanks for setting us straight!

Haha I think its frikkin great! My problem is, I can't stand PVP. But UO was pure genius. I would pledge if the dude wasn't filthy rich to began with. Doesn't seem right to ask for donations when you can drop a cool $50 mil to cruise to space. I do hope the game succeeds though.

lol, to be fair how many MMO's come in on time and on budget? I think WOW did? Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember any others that did. I suppose you could name a few but when you have $200 million it certainly makes it easier wouldn't you agree?

Yes, without investors games cannot be made. And I don't think Smed has a choice. Sony is going all in with EQN and cutting most other divisions to free up resources so it wasn't going to happen with Sony.

Smed approached Brad about making an MMO. After that, Smed just wrote the checks and hired the rest of the team. So yes, without Smed there would be no EQ. But without Brad and Steve (Clover), there also would not have been an EQ.

LOL, ya think? Smed was the head of Sony Interactive Studios so yea, he did make it happen.

What if some old hasbeen game developer tried to make a newer game based on the core concepts from the early 90's? That shit will never work! When will people get it through their thick skulls!!!!

/bashes head into keyboard. Hard to feel immersed when I look like the fucking Lion King or Aladdin. EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS! First raid mob for EQN announced!

Let me google that for you

Its a combination of the same garbage we've seen over the last decade only all packaged into one game. Now as Mkopec pointed out about the storybricks etc...I am willing to see how that plays out, but the bulletpoints I listed pretty much cancel out any positive steps in the right direction by...

The feeling is mutual.

If EQN is the future, I quit. This is the Boots of the Zephyr, which allow you to glide through the air.Every class is advanced individually, so you may have a Tier 4 Warrior, and a Tier 2 Wizard, and a Tier 1 Rogue. You can choose who you play at a given time, swapping between them with...

Tom could fund the entire project with his lunch money. If Brad and Tom are friends.....? Just saying.

That shit is never going to happen. But its great wishful thinking.

I love Brad, I really do, but I am blown away this is going down exactly like Vanguard minus the $30 million bucks. He's not getting a dime from me until he can show me he has changed.

This one is great! Just.....facepalm

Far as I know its all quiet on the western front. But then again, I don't bother to check the KS site comments page more then once a day. Its to much to stomach.

Sure he is.

Then your an idiot? Seriously. Who EVER zoned into KC and was shocked to see a train to zone? So you want to remove death from the game because its inconvenient? Who looks for a 96 rez when your playing in a low level zone like Unrest? Are you seriously constructing an entire argument over the...

Lets not overestimate ponytail here. Its a twitter account. Anyone can be sending out messages. It still sends a great impression to gamers that 24 hours a day the guy is"on it", but it could be any number of people using ponytails twitter to keep people informed.

You mean in the last two weeks Sony has been getting it right?

WOW is what happens when a competent company creates and runs an MMO. I may not like the game or what it did to the genre, but I have mad respect for what the game was, what it accomplished, and how damn professional Blizzard ran it. You would think after getting curbstomped by WOW Sony would...

Are you kidding right now? Are we being punked?

I didn't play WOW. With that being said, I did not state it was more or less difficult then WOW. I pointed out obvious skills and techniques that players needed to learn to effectively play their class. Like real life, lets use a job as an example, there are those who are at the bottom, middle...

Have you just resorted to trolling with ignorant statements now? So crowd control required no skill? Split pulling, or the ability to decide which mob to pull first and in what order requires no skill? Aggro management by casters required no skill? using the correct heals at the right time...

The wife and I started characters last night. Not sure if I have the energy to do this for about the dozenth time but we will see haha.

Odd. I haven't got an invite but I've been a backer since the start. Maybe they are only inviting those who are backing over a certain amount? I'm only backing for $45 currently.

Feel sorry for Vu. He's the only dude on the entire team actually creating content and Brads probably screaming at him 14 hours a day to "HURRY UP"! haha

Don't get all bend. What I'm trying to explain to you is the question has been answered about 9 dozen times. Just read through the thread. Hell, use the search feature.

Did you read the previous 200 pages? The reasons for the low support have been discussed ad nauseam.

I love people who come to a thread packed with supporters for a project, then confidently announces that we don't exist.

Looks to me like Rhode Island has more problems then what 38 Studios laid on em. 50 States in Debt #1, Rhode Island Debt 2009: $9.2 billion Projected 2012 Budget Shortfall: $290 million GDP 2009: $47.8 billion Debt/GDP Ratio: 19.19% Unfunded Pension Liabilities: $4.4 billion (39%)...

I will donate once I see that "six months" of work doesn't equal a description of clerics that tells us they wear heavy armor and heal.

I just want to see what happens now. Does the team crawl under a rock (which is appears they have already done) or do they take the asswhopping, learn from it and double down? Are they willing to work full time jobs and in the offtime continue working on the game? They should be working nights...

I'm not sure if it matters to the conversation, but Alabama and Mississippi also employ a huge labor force who builds military ships such as destroyers etc.... My best friend works for Austal (Ohh yea, even though I'm a huge racist he is black) and another huge employer is Ingalls. Millions of...

Marx died what....over a hundred years ago? If he was such a genius please show me evidence of his theorys that worked. Lets just see the proof. So this nordic model is the standard? Really? Based on what? Yes, we want to see proof and evidence. That's not to much to ask considering you are...

Just.............lol

OF course not. Why correct a mistake? Just make more!

And just as lame as the last three. A wall of text with zero art.
