Turbo's long post a few pages ago on what type of game he's looking for got me to thinking. He brought up the word accountability. And I'm just wondering if that is even possible anymore in todays gaming climate. The average time one plays these types of game is basically 3 months. Some of...

There's going to be ways to solo, it just probably won't be the most efficient. You could solo in EQ depending on class.

And yet not a damn thing on the KS page itself. I think the backers are delirious to be honest with you. Sterley about 1 hour ago Yay Ben! And Yay 360k (to the penny even!) Seems to me to be a bit of steam building the last day or so ... let's keep the momentum going! Everyone who's...

This will get the neckbeards all up in a lather. From that interview: There?s definitely going to be modern elements. We want to stick to the core of what made early MMOs so popular but we also recognize the need to include some modernizations.Dungeon finders and anything group-related (LFG...

Thanks for this. I'd been drafting pretty horribly in Arena simply because of not knowing the value of some of these cards.

It's been said countless times before but it bears repeating. Ben may be correct in that there is a sizeable amount of interest in this type of game, I actually believe him. But interest is not the same is 'fund our start up to make this game'. I'd say a good majority of the 'interest' this...

EQ today is nothing like it was. FFXI is dead in the water. It's not that the era is effectively over,it is over!It's been over for a long time now, it's just that some people (you) refuse to accept that. But beyond all that, I think you are misinterpreting criticism for 'happy it's failing'...

Exactly. If they've talked and said all this stuff, why isn't it somewhere where I can easily access it like the KS homepage. Hell, I'll take their 'website' as well if they want to put it there. Why does it have to be some sort of scavenger hunt to find some twitter comment or facebook...

How bout more details on the classes they already revealed? How does their 'lore' explain a dwarf shaman, since that was thought up on the fly? How is combat going to be handled? How is mana regen going to be handled? When they say you can level outside of quests, what does that mean...

They should be dropping details on the base game, not stuff that may be in if they hit stretch goals. Unless the thinking is the game can't be made without the stretch goals, to which then they really aren't stretch goals then.

I've read more than one article who thinks its bots manipulating the App Store to make this more popular than it really is. It's an app that's not even new (came out in April) , zero marketing and some how this and the rest if his games shot to the top of the list (they're all basically the...

Is there precedent for a KS to fail but then a private website is able to raise millions? I think if it fails we come back to the same issue, number of backers. There is already just a small group willing to back this through KS. Logic tells you that a certain percentage of even that group...

The game has done $950 today. I say again.....$950. They also threw up a grid today that's supposed to be race/class combo but considering it changes almost as soon as they put it up (dwarf shammy) it probably doesn't mean much

One of the biggest faults of VG is how poorly managed it was. This KS has been managed just as poorly. The decision to slow drip information over the course of the KS is dumb. The decision to hold stuff until the very end is dumb. They are trying and failing to create hype for these...

All I know is if they start funding on their site, I hope there is a lot more on it than just copy/pasting what's on the KS. People won't contribute there either for the same reasons as now .

You assume every single backer has full confidence in this project and this team

Considering most of the backers have probably already doubled and tripled their pledges, I doubt it. In fact, it looks like the KS has been going backwards today in terms of funding.

It's too bad they can't put concept art like this for all the classes. It would get them more interest.

Sounds like a Defiler (EQ2 class). Although that wasn't a pet class.

Convo, why have they been dead in the water this week? At this point of the project, with how funding has been going so far one of the team should be engaging in a Q & A with the community/backers every single day, whether that's here, the KS page, reddit, etc. They should be putting out...

I think their communication has been pretty much garbage lately and the KS funding reflects that. They may be making comments here and there on other places, but if they are spreading valid information about the game, it needs to be on the KS since everyone goes these first. Their goal should...

Which then brings us back to Pantheon. If they truly have been at this since September, how come the KS doesn't bear that out? Maybe a simple tech demo showcasing some of this?

You can point directly to why the last few days have been pretty dormant when it comes to funding. They've been pretty silent for the most part. The class and poster update has been met with crickets and hardly anyone is talking about that 2nd twich interview. The one thing that I've noticed...

So basically still keep doing what their doing now, but at an extremely slower pace since they won't have 800k to work with (which means not able to bring more people on board)?

I can see the average fan who has already backed the KS just get discouraged from the whole thing and forget about it if it doesn't meet goal. The hardcore fan will fund it no matter what but it obviously needs more than that. What it also does is give the realization that this thing is so far...

The best he's going to be able to do is put out some prototype/tech demo. Then he has to hope that drums up more interest. My opinion is there is zero chance this is completely crowdfunded. I'd be shocked if it was even 50% crowdfunded. I understand that EQ cost only 3 million to make, but...

He won't make anything out of 800k because he himself has said he can't. He won't even be able to pay everyone on that figure. I believe the figure was put at 8 million for the game he wants to make.

I thought this were pretty funny. I'm not sure if he's trolling you or not. I also think it's funny how he gave you non-answers to every question.

And yet the hope is this will have the population to support the vision? 2500 backers doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence.

Interesting although I guess if people are willing to set the bar as low as VG then it doesn't really matter.

I'd love to hear what expectations some of the backers have for this game. Not what Brad says, but what the gamer expects. How low is the bar? How limited can the game be that you would be ok with? How much content would be ok? What can he not deliver on that bullet point list that you...

Well I don't think the hardcore fan wants the average gamer in this game anyway. That's why you keep seeing the word 'niche' being thrown around. The problem is if you are too niche, it may cause issues. Like trying to crowdfund your game. I'm wondering, judging by the EQN thread that maybe...

Just looking over the KS page (another dead funding day btw) and although they've add a lot of stuff since the beginning, it still looks very amateur and basic compared to some other projects. I think they really screwed up on the tiers and because of this, they've had to go out of their way to...

How do you know what they are doing and not doing as far as game design? It's a serious question. I think Brad has said that the gameworld in this game is also going to be large, did he not? So is that really all it takes? The guy just has to say the right things and blow smoke up your ass...

Did they say if they ever were going to incorporate chat into the matches because I can see some serious shit talking with how some of these games go. Been on a nice win streak lately between ranked and arena, basically playing rogue and hunter. Finally got a 100 coin quest as well. You can...

Yea, I own both civ 4 and 5 and I know I'll never play 3 so really there isn't a whole lot a value in it for me. I can see them adding Pirates as a bonus next week which is a fun game.

LOL, this thread so deserves to be shawed at this point. This project is so off the rails in terms of details that people are arguing over whether they should move or not. Want to know why people aren't donating to this KS? That's why, because there is no game to discuss, let alone see. It's...

Simple math says it's going to be even hard to reach that goal (25%). There are 17 days left. The project needs to average about 17k a day to even sniff 600k with 3 days to go. Right now it's a struggle to get to 10k a day.

I'm trying this one, seems to be updated on a consistent basis. EQInterface downloads : AYA CoTF v3

Keep in mind this is a pretty lofty goal that they are trying to set. It's not like they are only asking for 200k. They are asking for 800k and even then nobody smart thinks that's enough to fund this type of game. Maybe that's also the issue, the fact that even if the KS funds there is the...
