They intend to charge a sub when the game goes into EA.

Ya I'm very much over running through the desert. I'll see where they're at a couple months into EA, and even then I may just wait for 1.0

A games development company running background checks on employees is weird as fuck. Also congrats on securing your agreement.

i sincerely doubt many people would know, and even fewer would care.

Pretty harsh bro but worse, demonstrably false: https://bethesda.net/en/dashboard https://www.bioware.com/

You can’t work in the Computer Science field with a civil judgement against you? That’s wild.

Secrets just said August 1st is target, but subject to change.

At a bare minimum, there has been an agreement between Quarm and DBG in place now for 7 days. There is no timeline for relaunch other than the community will get seven days notice before the server comes back up. That announcement has yet to come.

9 more days of THJ! edit: there’s been no announcement

I had a better experience on Krivea than Relle for what it’s worth. Seemed more stable to me.

Yes Nirgon. We’re all aware you’re the most turbo cucked hyper dork here. No need to remind us man.

I did bro (I didn't)

Yeah that sounds great, provided the hiring doesn’t require an exorbitant amount of plat, which in itself has playtime determined value.

Almost none of this applies to anything i said, but i appreciate you.

Hey there we go! One for the good guys!

6800 concurrent actually indicates 110k almost exactly according to MnM Shawn’s experience. He mentioned this formula in the same stream i watched. His formula is Concurrent peak users x 4 = daily unique users (so, 27,200), and then daily unique users x4 predicts monthly uniques (so 108,800)...

I don't even think they're copying much about EQ outside of the classes/abilities and similarities in world/style. Almost every player-facing system, from vendoring to questing to corpse recovery, takes an EQ one and adds layers of complexity and maintenance requirements. Also, i don’t think i...

I'm not sure they care about profitability. They're just willing to die on every hill they possibly can to make the game 'they want', which sounds very nice for them and I'm honestly a bit jealous. I have opened multiple restaurants, it's what I do for a living really. I have thoughts about...

I don’t know i only ever play casters. Also i don’t think I’ve made it past level 10.

I keep hearing this pack mule stuff, but i don't get it. So let’s say I’m a Shaman. I’m on my pack mule like a good boy, with my backup spell book in his saddle bags. I get a dungeon group after 30 mins LFG and giddy up for a 20 min traversal. I park my mule outside the dungeon, secure in...

Watched the most recent stream. Banks are not linked as of now, and it doesn’t sound like they intend them to be. In a round-about way, without adequate preparation, this also adds to potential death penalty. A lot of people expecting a ‘spiritual successor’ to classic era EQ are in for a...

Is that what they said?

Turns out it was just some kind of joke from some of the volunteers on the server. Super funny stuff.

This is nowhere near worth playing yet. The combat feels like I'm floating in zero gravity and I just can't do it. Personally, I'm not sure I'm ever gonna be into traversing a world composed of giant cubes. Running over a hill is so jarring.

Nah in game they’re very elfy organic. The early art is far more Dryad and woodsy hybrid. The website shows the kinda typical wood elf design language they’ve chosen to adopt.

Well lord knows there’s a shitload of those, so the models should at least look good.

The models in this game are spot on i think. Very nice. Kinda disappointed they changed direction from the wood elf concept art, but im not gonna play one anyway so whatever

He said that there’s two more overland zones before EA; Scarwood and Fields of the Lost. Then there is a package of 6 zones in the Deep, that stretch between Field of the Lost and Night Harbour under ground, one of which is the Deep Elf city… if i remember correctly. I’m also pretty sure he...

I was watching the dev stream from the other day and Sean said that Early Access + Module 1 (So probably EA launch + a couple months - May 2026?) would only be 20% of the game world. Now maybe that infusion of cash gives them a ton of resources to finish the game faster, but that made it sound...

That was so sweaty I had to change MY shirt

That’s good news

how much of an emphasis is there on tradeskilling? Is it an essential thing for you to do?

ya ya very funny lol I don’t think anyone is gonna convince me the torch shit or dropping of spell books are good ideas, but I’m willing to have my mind changed!

I have been very critical of the picky vendor system. I found it deeply annoying in the first couple playtests, and thought it'd frustrate new players. I didn’t think any of the benefits would outweigh the costs. I don't think I was correct in that. After logging into the most recent playtest...

nvm

Pantheon hit EA on Steam - thus opening it up to the broader gaming market and subjecting itself to actual scrutiny. Before that it was a giant circle-jerk of grognards theory-crafting their Elven power fantasies 24/7.

Yeah I’m sure their discord is a utopia of open constructive critique and clear-minded discussion. Certainly not a haven for fanboyism and a gatekeeping echo chamber like every other pre-release gaming chat I’ve ever seen.

1. 90 silver for a fucking lantern is like your entire income from levels 1-4 (maybe more if you actually want to buy spells) and that can take a few hours of newbie yard killing if you’re unfamiliar with systems. 2. that level 8 wiz lightstone lasts like 10 fucking minutes before it’s burnt...

ah yes everyone who disagrees with my opinions is a troll. get your ass to reddit with that horse shit

Also anything that makes you not see the world they’ve drawn is a bad call imo. I haven’t seen a single NPC or location i haven’t absolutely loved the look of. They’re really knocking the looks out of the park in my opinion. saw some giants up close and they’re ::chef’s kiss::
