I'm John Smedley, President of SOE. AMAA : EQNext This was nauseating to read. He did it in EQnext sub so the minecraft fanbois sucked him off for 2 hours it seems. "Smed!11 Your the most hippest mmo game pres dude ever, with your edgy tweets and revealing AmA! the SoE PR team must hate...

Back when I played MTG one of the most important things in high level play was knowing when to take a mulligan. Some guys just hated doing it and dropped matches as a result. Take the Mulligan Brad.. Don't be a newb, Your current KS has about 0.2% shot at being funded, the PantheonReloaded...

This blows I was just getting into this game. All excited reaching level 41.. I am subbed to EQ2.. if I switch to VG does that mean i get all-access? Not sure If I want to stay otherwise...

While this is possible, how the fuck does one estimate the "age" of a screenshot?

I feel disapointed by the response on other boards for this project, that SA thread had far less posts then I thought it would, And SA was really big at the time EQ was with the same demo. Cpl other threads I looked at were similarly disappointing. Not sure this can be blamed on the Shitty KS

wtf I don't check for a few hours and this thing is 10kless? how do you lose 6% of funding just like that?

Err someone just said it was Suigen right? apparently he is taking it back and forth to get Brads attention or something it seems. Edit: seems like a dull trolling project. Rerolled nerds : "oh the 10k pledge is back" Rerolled Nerds: "oh it's gone"

Anyone still have a spare key lying around? Pretty excited for this wanna see how telegraph healing works. Hell the combat looks like I might even be able to enjoy a dps class again. something that basically ended with the EQ necro for me.

Anyone else feel the 3k pledge is pretty weak? I mean people like fancy stuff like that but it seems a huge amount of money for a signed print... seriously your paying 2k for the print essentially.

This is how I see it, I have very little interest in details of the game beyond the general outline because it's soo early anyways. I just want to see this game get made. If it fails the KS this could end our chances of ever getting a game like this made. So i am going to do what i can to...

We do need a bigger sample size but from what we have we can draw some conclusions, and come up with projections. I would feel better if their was some data indicating that the past two days are likely to be among the lower end of those upcoming. However every other comparable KS I have looked...

Do people appreciate that this KS has a strong chance of failure at this point? Yes pathfinder got insane funding on it's last day, but it's nuts to rely on that. If this does not do better in the "valley" area we are in there is a good chance we will not be in range to even do a crazy last day...

I was one of those clueless "guide the retard" guys in EQ at first but I got better and so will people thrown into that situation. However I am on the fence about maps.. like having them bought would be cool or quested or w/e.

Started playing this a cpl weeks ago. yes there is people, a decent amount it seems. Very fun game got a Disciple to 30 and they seem like the coolest class i have played in an mmo possibly ever. whidona is my name in game

I think people should keep in mind what a unique opportunity we have here. A big name dev comes to our community and starts a KS for the the type of game most of us badly want to see, asks us for input on everything ect.. If this gets funded it's because of rerolled as much as Brad and and his...

So I quit this game about September after launch. Is it more interesting now? I have A once sweet DH but sold all his stuff cept my second pre-nerf nats set ( I bought two very nice ones early, kept buying bargain pieces till I quit and whilst the lesser ones) got $350 for one I sold back then...

Where do people think the AMA should go subreddit wise? i was thinking gaming or something but it's mostly console-plebs. /r/iama is likely the best for Brad and possibly the devs.. the pantheon sub is too little known and mmorpg is dead mostly.

Yeah i have been watching the backers numbers also.Although I would expect the number to be larger then 70 on average going forward. what sucks is that if this had the initial boost that most KS had and good high end tiers 70-100 daily during this period would easily get it. As it stand it's...

So the other 10k pledge is gone.. down to 1 now.. Gotta look at the numbers for the last two days again now, but I saw pretty scared based on the fact yesterday only brought in 6k save the 10k. Also I did not see the added tiers when I wrote my post about the lack of high end tiers and how it...

For me this pretty much ensured me to play with a DE or with the gamma at max... I do want their to be darkness say in dungeons especially. But not in the vein of EQ don't screw over some classes like humans in EQ.

The way I see it, and this is part of how we choose our prices when selling floor space/sponshoships ect.. in trade shows. Every customer essentially has a price range they will buy in if they are satisfied with the options in that price range. IE: the people buying the $45 should not be people...

A better and still simple way of doing this would be to figure out the % of daily earnings in each KS that they get relative to day 1+2 amounts and use that to project the days after. IE if A similar projects to one being projected average 200k on day1+2 then averaged 20 in days 3-5 and 10k in...

I never played DAOC but am thinking of trying this, Is it a game with a really strong emphasis on pvp? that has always been what I got from people mentioning it here. personally I love pve raids and groups, hell even solo if done well like necro in EQ. Does this game have much of these or is it...

So I have always felt that the lack of tiers and desirable tiers at 1k and above was a major issue. After going through all the relevant MMO KS it's more of an issue then i realized. After Crunching some numbers Pantheon KS should be gettingAbout 200k alone from 1k plus tiers. At the least...

Maybe this is beyond the pale, but since the mods have called us "a virtual partner" with this project maybe we could have a thread coordinate our schilling/spreading the word on this? If it's gonna make funding it's because people from here got the word out, so anything to aid in that would be...

Should put more of those on, people will buy em I guess having just 3 of those above 1.5k really limits the high backing ones, now you have nothing left over 1.5k.

Just curious Brad said he was only going to be the CCO of this project. Yet it seems he is currently essentially chief of everything. Will this project be getting some big marketing/business ect.. heads? I wish they had someone with a background in this before the KS.

I actually feel you are missing a large chunk of your most likely audience. There are a ton of people who never played MMOs pre-wow that pine for the Vanilla and or BC era wow that was basically a more polished EQ, They have the same complaints about modern mmos, and the same wants in future...

Fires of Heaven these posts from furor are what got me more excited for wow then EQ2. Try to emulate them for stuff like the Cleric backing update and other class descriptions.

Reddit Brad, Reddit.... Do an AMA, it's simply the most effective social media tool you have available. You don't need to answer questions you don't like but be candid and forthcoming... we can link you some really successful AMA to study to give you an idea. You can absolutely hit on some...

So the Kickstraq "projection" is not a projection at all simply it just averages out the daily amount so far and shows how it will work if it continues. It'snota projection or really useful at all and seems to have misled a ton of people. The site does start projections when it gets more data, I...

If this gets funded this community should be proud. Seriously I honestly feel if the KS works this community is as a big a reason it did as anything.. including Brad and Visionary team. "But if we fail, then the whole mmorpg world, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink...

Brad I feel you guys would gain alot for little effort by simply optimizing the pledge tiers. I have a background in statistics and event management but I am sure others could do this good and fast also. It would be worth dozens of thousands in backing. I will PM you about this, but here is some...

@Eldroth thanks for killing that rumour. It never made any sense to me, I mean would not Sony lend a few guys to get the KS geared up and help with media if UT's conspiracy theory was true? I badly want this to succeed but it does not look like that the case. Still I would not be surprised...

I think it's notable that none seems to be going for the guild tiers. In fact I don't think any have been purchased yet. I would redo them

In fairness we simply don't have enough of a sample size of crowd funded games to really make this assessment, Way to many variables to account for also. Edit: Apparently that was sarcasm, either way above is still true.

Yeah the kickstraq projection of 1.1m is based on it continuing that average of 27k a day over the rest of the project.. .. Thats not likely to happen. The problem with projecting the Pantheon amount is it got far, far less then other similar projects in that first day. Yet it's done much...

I am using 2:40est to 2:40est they made 16k in that time. I don't know how that website does it but I Guess it's simply from midnight to midnight. That projection seems wrong... Stats analysis is my pretty hardcore hobby and part time job, although anyone could come up with a decent...

So KS only did about 16k the past day. This is bad news, I was hoping for more like 20-25k. Basically it needs to do better then that somehow despite the fact most KS hit the funding valley right about now. If it only manages 16k a day going forward. And based on how other KS have done that...

So in Three days KS has done about 60k first day, followed by 30k in each the 2 following. Basically this project needs to be doing an avg of no less then 18.5k per day over the rest of the time frame. Basically it looks better then simply the weak first day numbers but this is still not a...
