This is factually incorrect. They've had6 monthsto produce something, if you go by the notion that this whole thing started in September of last year. Remember that the KS was postponed because they wanted to put something more tangible (lol) out there.

Now that they are collecting money directly through the site, they are on a timer now to produce something tangible. I can see the natives getting restless, even the hardcore fanboys if time goes by and their 100-200k isn't showing anything resembling a 'game'.

I'm just playing for fun now, casually. I figure I'll get enough shards for a random hero and see what I get to determine if I continue. It is fun blowing crap up though.

I don't think they are even in game development at all. I think they may be experimenting with some things in Unity and perhaps trying to flesh out concepts but as far as actual game development, I don't think they are doing any of that, hence no answers on anything relating to the game itself...

Fortunately my daughter is old enough (6 going on 7) where she can entertain herself for the most part. Of course the go to thing is TV or the computer but believe or not she's really not on it as much as you think. I think we do a pretty good job of limiting those kind of things to 1 hour...

He says that despite there only being 3k backers on the KS, it shows many more would subscribe to this game once it's out and he wants to build community with everyone that would be interested in this, yet limits that community to only people that are willing to donate to his game. Then throws...

Just got back into this, in game name is dbishop and I started human torch. Pretty fun so far.

I think that update serves a harsh reality of how far this is from ever seeing the light of day. It really is napkin scribbles at this point.

I'm disappointed I didn't see the PCGamer cover 'New Game Gods II' on the wall there in one of the shots. You know it's up there.

I love how (as usual) there is very little detail in what they met or discussed about, just a couple of pictures of them goofing around, playing flappy bird and writing up some stuff about the website. No design stuff, no game related whiteboard stuff, etc. But hey, they got together for a...

What it speaks to is that Brad and co. do not have full confidence that they can get 20k supporters in order to fund the game as they need to. So instead they are using the item store to get more money out of the smaller pool of supporters. What they should be doing is just give better rewards...

Funding update, now with asterisks. Someone with forum access needs to ask how it's possible they have more supporters than members registered on the site.

If he's not designing the game, tell me what's the point of all the fanboys going crazy because 'Brad McQuaid, the father of EQ' is making an EQ successor?

Wow, this again. First of all I wouldn't be bragging about having 10% of anything. Second, the KS is over and it didn't fund, the relevant number is what's on their site now and last I checked that's sitting at 1029. Third, can we move off that notion that 500k who played everquest are still...

Yea last 3 updates are Brads letter, that they are having a meeting, and then yesterday the Crystal Tower.

I thought I was doing great by starting 5-0 in arena with Mage. I then proceeded to lose the next three matches. Common denominator, beaten by aggro decks each time when I didn't draw either of my 2 flamestrikes. Card draw in this game, especially arena is a bitch sometimes.

What updates have their been outside of them having a meeting? Why is it that they reference things that they are working on (maps for instance) and nobody is able to see any of that, even a concept drawing? Have the devs been openly communicating with backers about what they are doing since...

Convo, they are not even showing stuff to their backers. You know, the ones that will eat up anything they put out. If they won't even show stuff to the backers, how does the team expect to get new backers then?

The fact that the tiers are still a clusterfuck on the website is proof of that. It comes down to that no one is managing them. At least not Brad. He running around trying to get money for this shit. It's beyond pathetic, I've seen better startup efforts from a couple of indie devs working...

I think it's already available. People want to know why devs/publishers love Steam so much, this is why. Developers can now set their own Steam sales | GamesIndustry International

Here is what I don't understand. They keep referencing things they are doing. Things like 'working on maps', using the word 'prototype' and yet there has been zero evidence of any of this. I mean, literally zero. They are putting in 10-12 hours a day, from what I think one of the devs said...

More like small puffs of smoke, like from a cigarette. I don't understand, that graphic says 1,077 yet only 1009 members are registered on the site. Don't you have to be a member to even pay anything (we already know not all of the 1009 are paying members).

This is my concern as well. Is it anything close to Skyrim? How on rails is the leveling?

Going back to this, if the game averages about 50000 subs a month (which I think is optimistic to begin with), you're talking maybe 1-2 servers tops depending how many a server can hold (current server technologies have a higher cap, say 5000 per server). I think you also need to take into...

Basically what their site shows so far. So if the supporter count is correct (which I don't think it is), they've also only gained 1/3 of the total KS supporters so far. But wait, I thought everyone that pledged to the KS was immediately going to pledge on their website?

Rust and DayZ are neither MMORPG's or sub based games.

I'm pretty sure that's not a live counter. It's dependent on how fast they update it. They haven't really updated the site in general. I remember reading in the KS comments a few days ago that one of the devs was working on maps, see those anywhere? In fact, when they say they've been...

It's still an assumption that this could even get 50,000 subs (on a consistent basis no less). I think in many ways the MMORPG market as a whole is probably tapped out, there is way too much competition out there. There are plenty of games out there with harsher dynamics, most of them older...

Damn, you know you're getting old when the Ghostbusters start passing away. I didn't realize he was behind all those other movies, especially the Vacation ones. It also highlights how most of the movies today especially comedies are garbage. That 20 year period of time that Ramis was involved...

I think it's pretty silly to assume that everyone who played EQ would play and subscribe to a similar game if it was made 3 years from now. Most of those people have moved on and even for those that say they would play a game like that, what's the average playtime these days for an MMORPG? 2-3...

I wonder if they are counting the number of supporters as the number of members on the site vs. people that actually gave them money. The site has a total of 907 yet the counter says 897. I have a hard time believing only 10 people who registered didn't give them anything.

Yea he put him to sleep. You know this because the dude actually closed his eyes before he passed out plus I think you could here him snoring. The question really is how did the guys find out about the dude in the bathroom, since the door was closed and we know that zombies can't open doors.

Yea I agree, if you listen to the fanatics they believe that everything that Brad touches is gold, that he created EQ from scratch, etc etc and from what's posted so far that couldn't be any further from the truth. All it does is prove the fallacy that some of these crazy people are clinging...

The problem is everything you describe (especially the limited potential to destroy objects) costs money, probably more than this project could ever hope to achieve. People want their cake and eat it. They want something that closely resembles EQ but they also want it with a decent size budget...

Anyone else notice that the guy in the bathroom (that Rick strangles) was basically sitting on the toilet with the seat down, pants up and basically not doing anything before Rick goes in there? Not to mention how no one heard jack shit while the two were struggling in there.

I just think it's incredibly random. I think I've done at least 6 arena drafts now where I haven't gotten one legendary. In fact out of those six there's probably only been 2-3 where I got an epic. I think the RNG pisses me off more when it comes to things like mulligan and initial card draw...

Couple of things here. While I'm willing to agree there is some sort of market for this type of game, I think it's pure guesswork how big that market is. There is no way to know if 50,000 people would subscribe on a consistent basis (to make it profitable), this KS certainly didn't prove that...

No it was not a huge backing . Fanboys and devs keep making this argument. Stop looking at the dollars, look at the number of backers . 3100 is not a huge backing. It's not even an average backing. There are 700 odd members registered on the site right now, half of which probably have no...

It still continues to be mismanaged. The tiers are confusing as hell and still not really clarified. No counter on how much they've raised so far, etc etc.

So have they put a counter on their site yet? Their own crazy fanboys are going to do as much harm as anything to this, since it sounds like those people are the ones sitting at these round tables and giving developer ideas. So what does eventually get released is probably not even close to...
