Ya I went back and edited it when I reread it. And yes, while the AI comparisson was quite a bit off, donating to a kickstarter is far more similar to charitable donations than capital investment.

We are not investors, and do not deserve to be treated as such. Our contributions are donations to a cause. Do you demand to see the local Salvation Army's business plan when you donate to them? Do they need to itemize what the monies are to be spent on? Your request is unreasonable and...

Think it's more likely that the sense of scarcity/urgency was gone, so someone who was kinda waffling with pledging that much backed out

Agreed. They should have just added a 12k tier and a 5k tier

Give players high mobility. Then forget to give them motivation to use said mobility. Should have made the game CTF.

guys. I have come up with a new ad campaign for the KS campaign. whudya think?

If future MMOs don't have companion apps with at least in-game chat functionality (and maybe crafting) I'd be absolutely shocked, and quite disappointed.

This is why I avoid the official alpha forums. I'd be too tempted to call people retards like I can on rerolled.

...just because a PC game has features that utilize touch screen technology in monitors does not necessarily mean it would ditch the KB + Mouse combo for input. I can envision a gaming experience in this scenario that would be nothing like a 'tablet MMO'.

Who said anything about tablets?

Too. Fucking. Bad. The entertainment industry isn't responsible for consumers having to upgrade their media utilities. XP came out in 2001 and MS is going to stop even supporting it in Jan 2016. Do these people still watch movies on VHS? Morons.

It's a 10 person project. It most likely doesn't have a defined organizational hierarchy yet. If they do indeed acquire a professional project manager, he or she certainly won't do it for free. Hence, the kickstarter.

No, I'm not under that illusion. Do I think he has the 5-10mil this is gonna take? Naw.

Hold up... are we really arguing that VR is a AAA studio? Aren't they developing Pantheon part-time out of a garage for no salary? @Kreugen: The people advocating for fully contested raid spawns are out to lunch and probably haven't raided in an uninstanced environment since 2003. It's not...

Lifetime sub should just be a $150 upgrade available to any tier. You'd sell a ton of them

Meh... What are the stretch goal classes? Ranger, Bard, Monk, and Druid? IMO all 'unnecessary' classes, and actually make sense as stretch goals. Put dev time into the meat & potatoes classes and add flavour if/when you get more money. Bards should never have existed. Their abilities could...

I think the lore might be what I'm most pumped about... So happy it's not another Dragon-centric fantasy MMORPG. I'm so bored with that style of lore. The possibilities for a world like Pantheon's are just so much more diverse, while still allowing for traditional fantasy.

There's a staircase from Minnesota to San Diego?

Utnayan vs. SOE: THE REVENGENING This thread is about to deliver.

And it just delivered. Thanks. I have a half boner.

That cleric class reveal have me a derection. The intention behind all communication during this KS campaign should be too generate excitement. Telling us your traditional fantasy MMO has clerics isn't exciting at all. Also, you present almost no specifics about the class at all. Why not just...

Has anyone been pimping this in Vanguard continent chat channels? I uninstalled months ago, but I could redownload it if necessary.

Oh, I could make $250 produce quite a bit of fun in Vegas, I assure you.

I probably won't even build anything for quite a while. I'm gonna run around exploring and digging at the world first just to figure things out. Observing player claim distribution patterns is high on my to-do list as well. I'm also curious to see what exactly the 'Landmarks' are.

Hey, Bradley. Baby we got your money, don't you worry. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vxP9g3u...%3DvxP9g3uVpm4

Well that's just a totally unrealistic expectation.

Limiting mounts really isn't that hard. Just give them HP, and you can only ride them if they have 70%+ HP. Make them regen over time (slowish, like 0% to 100% in an hour) and have merchants sell mount bandages (can only bandage to a max of 65%) for a nice little money sink. I so smrt.

Having vendors eat items combats mudflation. This feature outweighs any benefits that buyback gives IMO.

This guys so jel

You think the coders should get credit for EQ and not the designers? Horrible track record? One of the leaders on EQ, kunark, and velious. Probably the three most universally loved (by this community) entries into the MMORPG space, and you are surprised by our support for his endeavor to...

Not to mention, getting you audience to feel a sense of ownership is the whole point of crowd sourcing

$250 is my limit unless they announce a cloth map, 3d printed Aradune action figure (anatomIcally correct), or similarly legit neckbeard shwag at a higher tier.

We are already behind you my man - get the word out elsewhere. We won't mind if we take a backseat. BTW I think the 1 class per week thing is a weak strategy. Nobody is gonna get excited about 'the warrior' because everyone expects there to be one. I'd do all races one week, then all known...

Still no Brad/Ben activity I can see on MMORPG.com or reddit. Haters are being allowed to control the conversation.

Ben has been active in the KS comments

They are going to need all the things you mention, but they won't have a shot at them unless they have proof that there is market demand. That's what this kickstarter is.

Funding looks good today
