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...

One thing I could always agree with Ut his his thoughts and feelings on Georgeson. Hey Brad.. you said you referenced a Project Manager or some other staff... How comfortable is Hartsman at Trion? haha If there were ever two people who I would really like to see take a game from the...

Ut... i'm with you in all your points. Seriously. Everything you said is business sense and even common sense but then again, this is another way the internet has closed the gap and broadened the scope on an everyday practice. Example... I had a kid come knock on my door and he was looking...

Can we have Druids, Rangers, or Wizards (wink) possibly summon an eagle that gives you a one way travel to a location. At the cost of some relatively expensive reagent of course.

To me, that's a beauty of a MMO. You have to remove instant gratification or MMO's just become like any other game genre. Everything about a MMO should be tied to an investment. I'm not saying you limit the options to the point it is near impossible but I would think you would have something...

I think it is close. I think travel, if granted any convenience, should be player driven from top to bottom. I think EQ did it right not giving access to expedient travel too early. I'm not against mounts or anything but I would like to see players once they get max level, based on class, get...

Yeah, I think Brad was referring to possibly traveling to a location and gaining access to a spell (depending on class) and/or certain hub locations that you could make accessibly once traveling there once. I'm thinking that each city may have some type of transportation that you must gain...

I think the idea is to encourage players to interact as they did in EC through a channel or possibly create certain areas throughout the game to sell. Maybe these areas allow you to build bonus exp (rest) or give you a special buff for a period of time. As he said, EC wasn't by design so I...

Can we get an image of a snake attacking a player and instead of SLASH! it say KICK! Just to make it a bit more relevant....

Assuming this is funded I want Alpha invite for Christmas... make it happen

Snakes better kick or i'm going to be upset.

Would it beneficial to have a place where only the Pantheon guys could post updates, polls, or whatever for feedback. Thinking out loud here... Just thought they may want to poll this particular community without having to wade through endless posts. You could also take the OP information and...

Wanted to share Ben's responses to my questions asked via Kickstarter (hope he does not mind the share as I did not see any indication that it would break confidence) Question 6 was regarding the direction of Pantheon in terms of raid design being like EQII where you enter an instanced and you...

While I agree with you I think there will be enough changes and modifications (modernizations if you will) that will not make it unplayable for people like you, me, and many others on the boards. Looking back, we probably didn't have to invest the time we did to be successful, we did because we...

Good deal! I'm going to see who I can actually find hanging around. I know I can get in touch with people from Conquest (for those who remember the Sleeper incident) and possibly some other guilds. Where's Elidrin these days? He was posting here and I believe he was running the Ranger Mafia...

Speaking of getting in touch with the larger, old-school guilds do we have any posters from AL, Triton, DROW, LoS, etc? Further more.. how about old EQ Fansites? Druid's Grove? Heck I can't even remember all of the class specific sites or other sites I used.

Brad curious if you see players initially working towards armor sets and possibly epic weapons per class? Somewhat of a nod to what EQ offered via PoH and PoF? I really grew bored of running an instanced set of dungeons in more recent MMO's to complete some currency that allowed me to purchase...

There he is! Welcome.

Not really one of my top concerns but I have been curious yours or others opinions on auctions houses and how that has progressed from EC Tunnels. What do you feel has been done right? I personally like what EQII did as they tied it to your house or guild hall. I personally always wanted to...

To comment on some of the "off-topic" posts... I'm not sure what is reminding me of EQ more. Pantheon of these posts. It's beginning to feel like old times already.

Thanks for the info. Sorry I somehow overlooked Ben. I guess I expected a bit more exposure but i'll assume he is handling more official releases to bigger entities for the sake of getting the word (kickstarter) out. However, if he gets some time, tell him to stop by and meet everyone so we...

Brad, You mentioned this was a lot for 10 guys to handle. Not to get too personal or deep but i'm not understanding the internal structure here? I've done a lot of consulting, programming, tech work in general pro bono but these guys have left games and not to mention being their...

I'm currently in for $100.00. May go up to $250.00 but still debating on how much I invest. Still waiting on a few questions to be answered.

Several asked about this so... QFT Excerpt from KS site update:

He just seems so cold and emotionless most of the time. They need to make sure that guy just does his job and find other with a more positive bedside manner. I don't know the guy personally or anything but if you are looking to "sell" something, get the guys that are salesmen. I really think...

Also, did Brad comment on how contributing multiple amounts will work? Say we give $45 then give more or even give each month? Will this or can this build?

To me.. this is the hurdle. Someone also mentioned that before, Brad was one of us. Brad wanted to make something that was a dream. Something we all dreamed about playing RPG's, D&D, etc. There was so much more working in the development favor of EQ and it was all something "we" wanted to...

I'll be first to say i'm changing my tune a little bit realizing how much of the KS was generic or "stock" if you will. Someone earlier actually linked the assets in the Unity store if you are interested. I'm not saying that any Joe Schmo could go out and create or re-create what they did on...

That's all "stock" crap if you will.... I'm with you though. Someone needs to go ahead and get that stuff out before it sticks in our minds. Someone mentioned earlier about leaving in all the assets from the store. That kind of bugged me as well but I know they were trying to depict their...

Honestly, I think people just enjoy this as much as they do the game. Sadly, because its the closest thing they (we) have to those good ole days. I'm not talking EQ either but in early MMO's, people top to bottom talked. That's how Fan Fair and Blizzcon came to be. They discovered that we...

Alright.... what's the guild name? I'm ready for Alpha, Beta, or something :P Anyone remember last day of beta on EQ? Didn't they spawn Inny or maybe a giant orc. Sad I can't remember. EQ beta was a blast though. Still reading everything and going to sleep on this before I write my...
