That's why I'm glad this game doesn't have traditional exp or traditional leveling. Fuck trying new ways to do the same old shit. It's been decades of that shit. There has to be another way to do things.

A lot of great ideas but some would be hard to implement in a large pop game. Would planning and preparing for a long trip into unknown territories be a fantastic idea? Sure, but how many modern players would do this with a realistic chance of failure? The chance of failure needed to make it...

I will be doing the same. I think that working with the voxel tech is what's slowing this game down a lot. The live testing of certain issues with EQL will help this launch immensely whenever that is. Still the game I've been most excited for a quite a while.

Add me to the group as well. This game looks like it will be a blast.

Done. Quaid, I wish you had that kind of money too.

Damn, Ceder's and Quaid's derail was the most entertaining part of this thread for the past 10 or so pages. It is now my pejorative to return these prerogative feelings back to this thread in order to ameliorate the impact to my pleasurable reading. I hope this attempt alleviates these...

While there is a point there...it may seem impossible to sell your mansion and move into a smaller home, but it has been done. Would I have started a new venture with my own funds? Only if I was serious and had researched extensively. We know neither is true and so he went with whatever option...

Damn dbl post.

We'll miss his poignant remarks and exceptional intellect almost as much as Bradley misses Microsoft's money.

If you could expnad on this statement or if someone else could? Why has it lost this feel?

Unfortunately, this thread is like a MMO released a few years ago. Periodic content update with a short flurry of true activity but mainly the same old shit over and over. I still read it but only because there isn't something truly worthwhile to waste my time on right now. Maybe we just like...

While seen many times before, this info does put into context just how full of shit Brad has been for at least a decade. Of course the lack of accountability started early and you just can't ask him to change at this point. I do find it hilarious to see him blaming Microsoft for not giving him...

Very valid point and if I had been suckered I would be clinging to hope as well. Just like the poor retired person who had given money to Nigerian princes, I would hope that the one I donated to was the real deal. Unfortunately, this never happens and most people can see this because they aren't...

I hate to agree with Tyen about anything but he's partially right. Brad is a scam artist but it's legal. The original team sucked and so do the religious nuts. Kyndread has no talent. Now where we disagree? This game will never get finished, Brad is responsible because he's the guy who is...

No offense but you seem like a slice of the same apple pie to me. The only real chance this game had left after they didn't get paid much and finally figured out Brad is a fraud. Your ideas weren't liked enough, Brad didn't give you enough 'cred' and so you left the project. You are still...

I'm glad Kyndread is willing to start a new account even if there isn't really anything to talk about. Brad is the textbook example of misappropriation of funds as mentioned. This is directly the reason Brad is now depending on free labor from totally unqualified individuals instead of trained...

First, Brad just isn't smart enough to have went for royalties. Let's not equate a guy who can copy paste MUDs and scam some old school retards into genius status here. Con artists are everywhere so good for him. Let's see how long this train can be milked. Second, Brad is fucked in this...

I can't wait until Brad eventually sells off the rights to this and it gets merged with her MMO attempt. I'd say by next year...this will be "Pantheon, Visions of the Rise". I really want Brad's last gasp in this industry to be linked to a fruity religious game. I'd also love for someone to send...

I don't feel sorry for any of them. I feel sorry for the taxpayers who will be paying their welfare when they finally fail to support Brad. There's a level of stupid that you just want to see eradicated but it usually breeds like rabbits.

So true and the franchise won't die either. EQ was a wasteland the last decade and still survived. Vanguard was one of the worst disasters ever and stayed afloat until SOE wanted to restart and focus their efforts elsewhere. EQN is the best hope RIGHT NOW for a move towards something different...

Yes, I am but only because Reading Rainbow is the shit. Thank you blind space dude from the future. I will write your praises as my sweet illiterate friends sing kum ba yah.

I don't see the need to bring it out in 2015. Maybe late in 2015 but it's success is not dependent on 2015 at all. As Lenas has mentioned, Landmark should easily be out before this year ends but that still leaves a lot to do in 2015 including a decent amount of time testing alpha, beta, etc.

They still haven't released any of the cave systems, water, and a bunch of other stuff in Landmark and people think EQN will magically appear in 2015? There's still a ton of work to accomplish.

I won't defend EA but sometimes long term success is hard to maintain forever right? EA provided money and increased expectations. Most of these guys were very successful developers but maybe burnout was a partial culprit to their fall? Larger budgets, longer development time, increased...

Terrorists trying to stop the Saudis from saving the world one garlic plantation at a time.

This is something I can get behind. It's nice to see a successful and wealthy guy who is excited and dedicated to accomplish a goal. Of course, he's a KS expert though...

At least we now know party size in game. Does he know raid limits by chance?

Yep, EQN is the first game to truly attempt to move the genre forward. I can't wait to see how it ends up.

The lack of levels should help with too many players in one area. The goal isn't to pack as many sardines into one can as possible but to find alternative routes to systems that work poorly at best. I also don't envision this game being as packed as a release day WoW expansion but if it...

I think there is a somewhat happy medium between tedious and instant travel. Instant access to anywhere just increases eventual boredom just like tedious repitition does. There is no way to make everyone happy but some travel restrictions helps the developers so I'm a fan of slowing it down a...

Mounts could also be restricted to upper world use. Landmark will supposedly have a ton of underground area. If EQN is the same, then fast travel above ground is just the beginning. I also like Quaids idea about TP. Make it easy to gather your group in a town but restrict other forms of it. The...

While I love any excuse to ridicule Brad, she's been working on these projects since before WoW released. Quick bets on Pantheon dying first or Brad? Is he trying to pull a Robert Jordan? Just with a lot less work involved?

It just depends on the select audience. No game will satisfy the top percent who have to finish anything ASAP. I know it won't happen, but I was really looking forward to reduced early content that expanded as you leveled. Some limits could be initiated and as long as you have solid content and...

Lol, my bad that is an accomplishment! Brad is glad to hear she will be trying to use all of them to help finish his..umm game.

Wow, if people didn't think this was a scam before...we now have a producer who has really never finished producing anything in this field(11 years and counting). I'm glad she doesn't give up easily but Brad should feel some form of shame...if he wasn't desperately telling himself this was for...

There will be classes and roles will depend on which class and weapons you use. Race restrictions never end up doing much so why do it? They can't and won't add substantial restrictions to any game made today(and they really weren't substantial even in endgame EQ). I'd rather the guy grouping...

Argh, ye mateys! Can I have some help bringing this whale of a game to your computer screens? Thar be plenty of loot and wenches for those that donate! Who wants aboard?

Cue the " he does his best thinking while riding the bike" excuses.

Anti-PK is where it's at. No one cries harder than a ganker and I just love the idea of merc guilds protecting trade routes.

I don't understand the need to keep the old story lines anyways. What great writing are we trying to save for posterity here? While there may be some parallels, I really want to see what they are attempting here. I know for some on this site that any change is to be met with instant resistance...
