I'm not even going to chance reading the KS comments. I'll probably end up freaking out on someone.

At least it wasn't Sailor Moon :P

Works for me.... As I said earlier and others have now said... the name is just rooted too deeply into our pop culture. They're the pros but man, they may need to bounce everything off a text crowd before posting. I think this took them a couple of steps back. I'll probably reduce my...

So true... I had made about 3-4 negative posts so I thought I would try to bring some positive light to this... Side note... 20 years old and it is still the best RPG ever made IMHO.

I was thinking "Green Arrow" instead of a Ranger

In their defense.... Final Fantasy IV (II US) had Dark Knights, Dragoons, and Paladins. I will forgive them if they implement all 3 classes.

I'll save their artist some time and money...

I'm getting close to the fence now. I'm overlooking a lot because I think they have some great foundational ideas but some of this stuff is getting annoying.

Why a "Dark Knight" ? Could they not come up with anything better. No offense but in our pop culture, that name just doesn't hold much water. It just seems like a rip-off or overly generic. Not disappointed with the class but this seems like a lack of effort and/or creativity.

How difficult to get into just to group casually and have a good time?

You and me both. Brad.. Let us know when you need us to begin on a design doc. Lol

Yup... This x1000! If we get to where we can talk about a PvP server, let me know. May as well hire Flex, Jil, and I as consultants haha

The aforementioned conversation is EXACTLY how I want things to be. I directions like that and I honestly don't think you can have true high fantasy with a GPS. If you want an in-game map that reveals upon discovery and you can make notes on that's tolerable but in no way do I want a mini-map...

Is there even a server worth of players right now to get groups and level up? I honestly thought about loading the game up since I haven't played it since SoE took it over.

Do we really have to bring him up in this thread? It's bad enough he's associated with the EQ name anyway.

I think the KS reaction post PC Gamer article will be very revealing. They may have one other solid chance after that to captivate the consumer but they need to make their shots count from here on out.

I never went back and played VG after SoE took it over. Curious what it is like all these years later.

I like that idea as well. Seems like it would be easier to develop that idea as well.

Just a question regarding Brad's Q&A3... Brad, you mention that the planes will "at times" collide with the existing world, not always, but when they did things would be noticeable different. Without drawing comparisons to Rift as a "rift" would seem to be a lite version of what you are...

He really did the majority of my favorite zones. Unrest? Wow. Sebilis? Wow. Paludal. Wow.... Even the EQ2 zones were good ones. This is something worth touting. It may not mean much to some of the new gamers but us old folks this is the type of guy you want to see as part of the team.

You are a beautiful human being for this statement.

Wonder what it takes to get servers up for a few thousand people? When I did software administration we actually housed everything in our own datacenter but we had affiliates that "leased" part of cluster. Just curious what they are planning to do logistically with getting office computers...

Can't do LT subs on KS I thought?

Looking at the screen shot you know what I thought would have been cool if they could have (i'm sure it is too early for this suggestion) reconstructed Guk or Sebilis with this new engine. IF he's going to play around, I would have liked to have seen them literally walk through an upgraded...

I guess that just shows everyone has their preferences. While i'm sure it is the minority preference I would choose EQII visually over WoW. EQII always felt a little more real to me allowing me to get more deeply immersed into the game. However, I never felt they used it to their full...

Yes... PvP was the best. They eventually messed it up but was a great time while it lasted.

Very true. I remember that well. Me and some of my closet friends played both and I raided through WotLK but toughed out EQ2 all the way through. Honestly, I look back and enjoyed EQ2 so much more. I think it was one of those rewarding moments of "seeing something through" because in the...

Camp Check?

Update #6

My only concern is where this is such a targeted group that their niche audience isn't going to be enough to pull this KS campaign off. Those of us that know and like what Brad is saying probably know about it and have made their decision. I'm hoping i'm very much wrong. This week will tell a...

Brad... do you ever speak to Scott Hartsman? Just curious how many times your paths have crossed or what you have worked on together. I noticed Smed shared on Twitter about Pantheon but curious if the likes of Scott, Mark Jacobs, and/or others have been in communication with you?

Looks like we are going to get some info this week, especially in regards to lore. I hope we get more concept art. Would love to see race/class concept art. Brad you going to cover the primary races and/or there plans for races unfamiliar to us?

I wasn't being literal. It was a poor attempt at sarcasm, humor or whatever. What I really meant was, Brad could rework his KS and it look much more relevant to what they are attempting to accomplish. The KS, especially the tiers just seem a bit odd. I know what he means but at the surface...

Yeah.. I have never really understood the Pantheon stretch goals. Pretty much if we raise $800,000 we get Diablo. If we raise $6.7 millions, we get an MMO. Also, what's up with getting our own server to share with our friends? I don't want a server to share with my friends. I want a MMO...

Good advice. Just watched The Wolverine with family. I'm saying C- but the kids loved it.

Now that we've had our forum fun and we've attempted to make ourselves kings of all MMO knowledge, office politics, and SoE inner-workings, let's pull our pants back up and stop comparing sizes and get back to the game. Ut, honestly dude, we need someone like you here. I'm being serious. At...

Don't forget about my friends from Lanys. https://www.facebook.com/groups/37435241521/

We need more concept art. I'm not a big fan of a bunch of text. I know its early but if it was me (and my software development is limited to banking software) I would get some races/classes and may the 1 or 2 major cities pretty pronto. I'm not saying this to be personally critical (well maybe...

I don't know how many times people have said that Brad just needs to be an idea guy and remains an arms length of any game. They have always thought his gift and talents were primarily within the realm of being the dreamer and visionary. Now he's acting like one and everyone is crucifying him...

Bottom line. proof will be in the pudding. I just think from Brad's perspective he better handle the PR side of things very delicately until the KS is funded. As cynical and unforgiving everyone appears to be, he really does not have much room for error. I don't see what everyone is so up...
