LOL!

Convo, If Brad paid them all 10k then he kept about 50 based off his numbers. I doubt they all got 10k and maybe the numbers were false plants to make the project look better. The underlying theme is the 'game' has been built on lies from the beginning. I'm sure he feels that he deserves the...

This was a scam from the beginning and there's tons of evidence. The heavy investors were supposed to be part of the development. What part were they in? Brad said early that he wanted a crowd sourced game and now he supposedly didn't. $160,000 disappeared and only Brad knows where it went. The...

Lol, I was hoping someone would post a wall of text and two did. That youtube video is one of my favorites. That is some awesome fandom with some really rustled jimmies. I was really wondering how many people in the team got ripped off by Brad. Sounds like almost everyone but Brad, Tom, and...

Read TWAnderson's latest post and it's just sad. He mentions no communication, Brad throwing people under the bus, part of the Pantheon team getting less than a mortgage payment, and of course the questions about where did the money go. Always sad to see guys like Brad take advantage of others...

Lol, reading some of those posts. One fanatic said that EQ made him the man he is today and taught him how to interact at work and in his relationships. No wonder Brad was able to bilk these people. Wow!

I don't know how what happened isn't fair. These people were given plenty of good advice and ignored it. You can lead a horse and all that shit. Brad didn't do this for any other reason but to keep from earning an honest wage for about another year. His stock in this industry is now shit but...

Lol, the Pantheon site cracks me up. You won't get a penny back and there are fortunately no write offs for being that kind of fool. I feel for the dupes who did put work in while Brad fleeced them. I don't feel any pity for the associate developers. Brad was this game's Nigerian prince and he's...

While I agree that referencing personal drug problems isn't classy, my outrage never surfaced because Brad is also a con artist. Many people never wanted him to run this company and it wasn't his past drug use that destroyed the last two projects he's lead. It's his other problems like an...

Brad would sell his soul to be back on top again. Or the souls of a couple thousand lucky associate developers would be fine as well. "It's for the greater good guys! Drink the kool-aid and our alien brothers will be back to get us! Drink...shhh, drink"

I also agree with Sulrn and Teekey. It can't just be PvP in selected areas for this to work. Going to Cyrodil to fight other survivors won't work. Having a primarily PvE game where the are strict guidelines for PvP won't work. I could see some safe areas where there are groups of NPCs that...

Frenzic, That interview is awesome. He didn't pull punches and part of that could have been the lack of advertising for the interview from Pantheon. The broken links, and lack of solid advertising says a lot about where this project is sitting. Convo, Did Brad EVER reply with a solid...

There's some of the good stuff. Convo, I agree. Brad owes you if he ever pulls something out of somewhere besides his ass.

I agree. While you could have super zombies, radiated wildlife, and other ideas for PVE longevity, extreme PVP just feels like what this type of game would want. I know the problems they face but there has to be a better solution than a DAOC or Warhammer type PVP/PVE experience. I think Smed...

This has the nasty ring of truth to it. The other guys wouldn't care because there really was never a lot of work put into this. Give the other guys about 7 k each for doing a few hours work, keep about 50 k each for your 'future' endeavors while the other guys are finding real jobs...and then...

I hope we have some people who have some really awesome 'convos' on the paid forum to enjoy. That's about all that is left of this scam. I don't blame his 'staff' for moving on though. The gravy train dried up. hope none of the 'associate developers' think their work will be used anywhere though.

I guess you will need something else to bitch about then right? It was you bitching about being nickeled and dimed to death without colored lights right? You didboldyet right? Just wondering who needs to maybe learn some patience? Fawe, nice pics!

It's a pretty sad argument to always go off about what they may or may not do. Let's actually bitch about real problems instead of made up shit. The only real problem for players right now are not having colored lights, maybe some holiday stuff? Wow, sounds great. This game will be FTP. That...

This is a building game. There are few limits to what you can build and no preference between players in what they can build. Cosmetic items will always be for sale in a FTP game. This is no different than any other FTP game. There is no advantage to colored lights. No PTW here. Such a...

Exactly. This is asurvival game. People that just want to sit around tinkering won't have that option outside of their fort with other people who help defend you. Your first decision when you see 4-6 armed guys in your territory shouldn't be, "I wonder if they have a transmission belt they want...

Game looks like it will be really fun. I'll wait for the FTP option but definitely will be playing it.

I think it looks pretty good. What exactly is a big lizard movie that first started in the 50s supposed to be? A dramatic oscar inspired love story? The movie looks really good for what it is. Expectations should be realistic and I think it will be a pretty solid popcorn flic. Some people just...

LOL!

I don't know what's worse to watch. The desperate attempts by Brad and gang or the fan fiction with the poor grasp of English and generally weak writing skills.

That carebear, kiddie crap is the stupidest argument anyways. Many of us live in a society that not only glorifies violence but also allows early access to it's children. I know a lot of younger gamers that are fantastic gamers and enjoy the darker content. It's usually the older gamers that...

LOL. Well, this is the thread to be jealous of other's success, so have at it. EQL is doing very well so far. EQ, EQ2 have had success. Soon EQN will also be much more successful. Time to feed the hate!

Thanks for the update. As long as it fits into the overall story, sounds good to me.

Creed, I really like how EQN (recurring theme from me I know) is doing it so far. Everyone starts out in one area because they are re-conquering their continental homeland. There is a story based reason for it and then all races will have to rebuild their cities. They can allow varied racial...

Lol @ Ut. Even when you are on a fanatical crusade, you crack me up.(no source). Good stuff.

Quaid, I have issues with your inability to comprehend and have faith in what $500 a week can do in the industry. These guys are rolling forward like a Taurokian in a Spanish bull run.

Azrayne, SA Corey is fantastic as noted by Grimm. Try Alastair Reynolds for a great author. The original Dune is fantastic as is Asimov's Foundation. I always enjoyed David Brin novels as well. There are also the Deathstalker books by Simon Green if you like tons of action similar to a Rambo...

I don't think anyone will cancel but it does say exactly what audience thy are trying to capture right now. The ADHD crowd who doesn't mind a crowd of daily quests just to see some kind of update to their daily grind. Gotta catch them all, Pok?mon!! It will be very interesting to follow how...

Same here. It doesn't look bad at all and it's at the right price point for an average experience. Why pay new car prices for the next model with updated cruise control?

I just went here for updates and am still ogling them 5 minutes later. Not much better than a great set of tits and I love when they are basically asking you to look...and keep looking.

Let's make sure all the kiddies see the bright shiny free stuff as long as they keep logging in. They know their audience 100%.

Game is pretty boring so far but it is really well made. Being too WoW-like is the major turnoff but it never tried to hide this. It is far superior to ESO in important aspects though(actually works well). After playing both the past few weekends, I'm really shocked that ESO is going to be...

Quaid, That's really cool. I used to work at Outback and we had a regional guy who did what you do. He was very tight with our district manager and had a very secure, fun job. The recipes then(about 8-10 years ago) were pretty awesome and I think the company has taken several steps back since...

McCheese, Yeah I was just fucking with him and you are probably right about the systems and software point. I agree about the bloat. They don't know exactly what they want to do but I am a fan of the McCafe beverages especially the Frappes. Outside of that, the wings and wraps were pretty...

Iannis, Fantastic post. Excellent point of just what has happened to Brad(and many others). Quaid, So you're the asshole that has screwed up the fantastic menu at McDonalds huh? Getting rid of my pink slime and transfat. Actually sounds fairly interesting based on my viewing of...

Wow, really love the stuff I'm seeing even if I'm very envious.
