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...

Sam was one of the reasons FOH was such a great site. The amazing side stories that happened on that site were epic.The memories... Adebisi, That thread in MMORPG is awesome! Thanks.

Have they really made any more money though? I know the money stipend from baby developers but beyond that...anything? This really doesn't seem like a sustainable long term con-job does it?

I've read many, many series and it's still one of the best I've read. He's always been a good writer but this series is his best and very comparable to the best out there.

Which game do you want to compare? I know WoW better than a lot of other games and it had all that while I still played(4 years free). Every game made has some dungeons that aren't as played because of one reason or another. Is there an easy way to get there if you want? Sure, because they built...

Saved for posterity and later arguments in the EQN thread.

That implies SOE wanted to keep him and I'm not so sure they did. What does Brad really offer a developer at this point? His ideas aren't even that great right now and work causes allergic reactions so...probably better sitting at home robbing the gullible. I think the best advertising for SOE...

Amen. There is a huge competitive gaming market and EQ was never part of it. Cock blocking content isn't hard to do and requires no skill. We've all been in those higher level guilds. Where you had to fill an app and also accomplish tasks with a 'guide' who then decided if you were good enough...

Lol! I think some of you guys miss being 'special snowflakes'. Being in a game where time played meant more than the physical ability to actually compete. Where you could sit in a small basement all day and ensure you cock blocked everyone from competing for what you 'worked' so hard for right...

This is my only real problem with the game. I don't see it lasting and I don't see a lot of effort, time or money going into keeping it afloat once the honeymoon is over. It will be fun until that time though.

Hope springs eternal but I'm hoping that game is EQN. Sounds like it so far. Sunspots, WoW was a superior game to EQ in the beginning. It became way too popular and lost it's sheen but it was a really well made effort for the first two years(overall). I did love EQ but that ship sailed and...

The problem is that the retro EQ demographic is really small and the ability to log on for challenging content with friends can be done in other games. Anyone that is wanting emergent gameplay isn't asking for group based challenging content. There is competition for old gamers from both Jacobs...

LOL! Shit, vanilla WoW lasted just two years but TBC wasn't that bad either and it lasted about another 2. Current WoW is nothing like WoW from 8 years ago just like current EQ is nothing like EQ from 8 years after 1999. I sure as fuck never made an instant group with mercs in the game I played...

That's what most people ignore or forget. EQ dungeons were epic early. Later, it was paint by numbers spawn camping. Nothing exciting, scary, or interesting about camping a spawn in a dungeon. Nothing.

Thank you Tantrik! Using one of the smallest dungeons in WoW versus that behemoth isn't really telling any of the story. Everyone knows EQ has had the best dungeons overall but not all of WoW is point A to point B in 45 minutes. WoW also wasn't the first to put that bullshit in. LDoN anyone...

This is exactly where I'm at. I loved EQ but just like the mass of WoW clones, it wouldn't be a long term solution. Something new is exactly what this genre needs.

How in the fuck is anyone using subs as a basis for an argument in here? Do we really need to bring the 8000 ton gorilla in here? I do think it's funny that all the arguments from people who liked the emergent gameplay are always spouting off about having a hard group based game. None of the...

He's the holy trinity of gaming.

You must be new here...

I don't see how anyone could not see this as a scam. When Brad started the KS, did he do any research whatsoever? What planning and effort did Brad do after he was shit-canned by SOE? It looks like he took an extended vacation to me. Even after dozens of people told Brad to find anyone but...

Lol, Etchazz is even having fun with this! Towel officially thrown.

Oh, I agree that he will attempt something for the exact reasons you mention. I don't think it will ever finish or see any real success. Brad the con artist? Some success. Pantheon, the game? None.

I just don't see it. Sure, you can think this is your big break. Sure, Brad can try to take even more people's money. Now, let's hit reality for just a second. Who will pay to play these guy's game? Who will trust Brad to make a quality product? Where is the real hype for vaporware in an...

What exactly do they gain from this? Is this really a resume builder? Do they learn how to work with a valid team? Have a real game on their resume? I think you over estimate what 'working' with Brad really does for you. It didn't seem to do anything for the first team. But, sure, if they want...

Dreagan, Don't you have some shitty ideas you've been wanting to start up? Beck could give you some free airtime and the first $3500? Tyen, you've heard Beck. Why haven't you been shilling EQBrowser like mad? Honestly, I just want to see another melt down and it won't happen until Beck has...

Thread getting boring again. Frenzic, are you sure you have no pull with the others at THE pantheon website? We need some truly crazy shit in here and Frenzic Vs Beck or even Convo Vs kudos just isn't getting it done. With Brad hiding , we need something actually interesting or funny again.

Convo, That's probably what I dislike most about him. His unwillingness to sacrifice anything, He had the whole world on his platter and has wasted all that goodwill. His wife is in bad shape and he's unwilling to do what's needed to help her. He's unwilling to do the work. He's unwilling to...

Obviously, the finance guy is extremely part time too or the money wouldn't have went though Brad's paypal and he couldn't just skim 1/3 of the money at will. No true dev will touch this and none of the guys are coming back. There are real opportunities out there so why waste time and effort on...

Let's not give credit to Brad for the wonderful properties of garlic. Unless, Brad is the Gaming God who first brought forth this magical plant?

Voted for you as well. Very nice. Need to get back in this some.

Did his wife suddenly get cancer back in the middle of what was really a 3 month project though? Did, at any point in this scam, Brad work hard to make a game? Was Brad honest to his employees? To his investors? During KS? After? NO! Brad never intended to make a game with this money. This was...

Lol, while you are at Frenzic, can you ask him if I can use Tucobucks to donate to his game? C'mon guys! Help me be an apprentice developer too!! Edit: Can't believe Tuco took out lame Tucobucks for netz. Just shit on a man's dream why don't you Tuco!!!!!

Wish I had really been involved then. Looked occasionally but that was when I was hardcore WoW. Of course that was when WoW was still pretty damn good.

I think focusing on the 'demo' by Ktam is pretty dumb. Of course $800k won't make a game and the money is better spent on a demo. Of course, we all know $150 k worth of work wasn't put into this game. I'd put 100% of my effort into that aspect and push Brad about filing fraud changes against...

So... Ktam...how's it feel to be hustled for over 3 grand and get kicked out of your only 'news' source on the net? Juicy....

Brad has conquered the entity that was Ktam and now is moving for the rest of the world!!! hahahahahaha! No one can stop me now! KS II, you are mine! Ktam is a pretty giant pussy. Reminds me of that other douche Robert whatever, whatever on youtube.

What?! Do you not care for the feelings of your fellow posters? Is not our personal enjoyment a factor here? I'm disappointed Frenzic.

That's where I disagree. I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He's also hoping there are enough stupid people for him to try it again and again.
