Hehe, I was thinking the same thing yesterday. But on a grander scope, they have 10 peeps supposedly working on this and all they can muster up is 3 pieces of art and 2 screens worth a damn?

There is a thread over at SA that keeps relatively current hardware configs for the build yourself crowd. They have a breakdown by price vs performance for all components. PC Building, Upgrading, Parts Picking Thread - Friends don't let friends buy AMD CPUs - The Something Awful Forums...

Yeah, a definite "buildup" before the kickstarter would of done wonders as well. Especially in the beginning days of the kickstarter. Also, Ill say it again, they should of spent some time in studying kickstarter some more and preparing for it. I just think he thought that putting "EQ" and "Brad...

Anyone remember the Caravans that Vanguard was supposed to have?

Im not sure I agree here, bro. I think we are wrong in assuming that there is like this whole mass of people out there that want EQ vanilla back. Yeah, the kickstarter might be the culprit here to, I agree. But if there was some enthusiasm past the 1.5- 2K people, they would throw him at least a...

Also, I think that he made a mistake of just focus targeting the old EQ crowd with this game. He should of targeted a much more broader audience, for instance say some shit like "Like EQ or Vanilla WoW experience". Because from waht we are seeing, the old EQ crowd just dried up. 1700 people...

Im sure these classes will not be like in original EQ, set it and forget it. Im sure you will have your buttons to mash.

Can someone post that article for those of us with workcockblock going on, please?

Yeah, above all it was a glorified chat room in the days before voice communication. With like minded people and with shit to do while you were chatting.

Well you either grew up on EQ or UO or if you are younger, you grew up on games like WOW. You cant go back and re-experience what we experienced in EQ.

500-600W is plenty with one video card.

Yay! 7 more pledges since the video!

So hes selling the Ferarri?

Ahhhh....I feel soooo much better now! Yay for Pantheon and Brad!

Yeah that's actually a good idea to inject some humor.

Sounds like it would of been the same? Except we would all be here now laughing?

So yeah, start the kickstarter, then make some shit up....then profit?

That's funny, I never even hit holy light. I spent my time with the pally playing whack a mole with raid overlays.

I do have to admit that WoW vanilla was pretty damn good. IMO it was good through BC but thats just my opinion. Oh, and I loved when they introduced the PvP battlegrounds. Man, that was the shit back in those days. Truly innovative idea. But what I hated about wow from the beginning is the...

I was taking about the big reveal tomorrow. And while a paladin is a paladin, you mean you cant come up with some different mechanics as a class? Wow did, with the seals and all the other bullshit.

....holy......lay on hand.........plate armor.......healing........big sword..........shields.......... Just fill in the rest with some bullshit lolore.

They have vanilla wow vannilla +tbc...etc.. servers all over the place, probably way more people interested than EQ P99 type server communities.

Yup, like DayZ and Rust, except throw a fantasy setting in there. Give the players a world with resources, some crafting schematics, and some NPCs thrown about with emergent AI and let poeple go and do their thing. Gather, craft, set up communities by themselves, protect those communities...

And im taking about PEOPLE interested. Which matters a lot more than what pittance they raise. Think about it.

I disagree. Theis genre NEEEDS a huge revolution. It does not need to go backward. While yes a old school game like EQ would appease some of us, thats not the answer. What this genre needs is something like WoW did to EQ. An evolutionary step in another direction, a fresh direction. All we...

I think right now the writing is on the wall. Either they are scrambling to come up with some more shit to share, or they all but gave up.

More like 1,600 people. Not even enough to fill up 1 server. Try again.

Yes, people left in droves, no denying that. And it was a better game at the time. But then over the years they turned into no more than a lobby game with L and M shaped dungeons. Why? Because they caved with their initial vision of the game to appeal to the masses which wanted easier, faster...

WoW took the nice juicy and fresh diner burger, froze it, mass produced it and released it to the masses like McDonalds. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Looks like hes turtling again.

I did read your post. and for the most pat agree. But I did not play any muds before EQ so therefore cannot comment on the theft. That being said this genre is nothing but stealing and tweaking ideas from one game to another. So there is nothing new there.

EQ class design was fine. Like Cinge said, they were all different, and had different shit to bring to the table. Even the necro, you bitch about him, but I didnt see any necros suffering. It was a popular class in EQ. The classes, the abilities, coupled with a sandboxy world is all what made...

Bah, just give us the base classes. Im fine with that. If this shit makes it anywhere and has a decent following, they will then have the cash and time to add more classes later that are well thought out and fleshed out. Like exp packs. This would be perfect to release new classes since it would...

Its a psyche troll.

Yeah its that lolore that made them do it, I know it!

LOL, someone trolling the 10K donation again?

Shit looks a lot better. Hope they dont pull a Luclin on these models, lol.

Most of the people here have contributed. Hundreds in fact have pledged and have not pulled their pledges.

Like his games and the Vision, brads social networking is so 1999.

I would not call an M rating a fucking in the ass. I would consider that a win since true gamers love that M rating. Lets be real here. MMOs are not meant for 12 yr olds. And even so, that M rating will just mean that more of the 12 yr olds will want to buy it just because. Trust me I know, I...
