    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    If this thread has show us one thing, It's that people have many different opinions on what a Kickstarter should be used for. Seems it's one of the daily arguments that go on here. My hope is that KS will do about 12-13k today, followed by 12 a day for the next 19. Then somehow get 285k in...

    I was really psyched for this. But the more I see, the more it looks like WoW with different animations/graphics setting and telegraphs. Still gonna get it but no longer think it has a good shot at being something special.

    SoE would prob have to refund a ton SC and subs if it goes down. So hopefully they will put in the effort to get it back running. I think it's more likely they speed up the closing date.

    I loved the BG's at first also. However they lost their magic awful fast. Aside from the initial WoW arena (is queue still around?) I feel like since then MMRPG PvP has been stuck in a rut. Then again the whole industry has been stuck in a rut since 07 or so.

    I just feel Brad has a better shot because EQ is much more like current mmo's. Since current mmo's are essential off-shoots of EQ the core gameplay/mechanics is not so different then EQ in many ways.

    I think that's great, If he want's to do a remake of UO more power to him. Although I question how possible that is given how much technology and games have changed since the UO/Ultima days.

    No one's questioning his accomplishments back the day. We just feel Garriot has failed to make any successful modern game in the past decade and a half. Thats more important to me then bootstrapping a series/brand 30 years ago. I am sure he can run a business and code shit but that has not...

    My point is since the mid 90s hes produced one good game. 98% of his qualifications rides on games that are nothing like whats become expected over the past 15 years.

    Also can we put to bed the "Brad can't do any marketing! he can't run a KS!" Sure the start sucked. But even if he fails Brad has clearly been working hard and doing everything possible to get that 800k.

    They should have had more concrete stuff at KS launch. But you can't expect too much to be done with a project of this scale.
