I like that idea as well. Seems like it would be easier to develop that idea as well.

Just a question regarding Brad's Q&A3... Brad, you mention that the planes will "at times" collide with the existing world, not always, but when they did things would be noticeable different. Without drawing comparisons to Rift as a "rift" would seem to be a lite version of what you are...

He really did the majority of my favorite zones. Unrest? Wow. Sebilis? Wow. Paludal. Wow.... Even the EQ2 zones were good ones. This is something worth touting. It may not mean much to some of the new gamers but us old folks this is the type of guy you want to see as part of the team.

You are a beautiful human being for this statement.

Wonder what it takes to get servers up for a few thousand people? When I did software administration we actually housed everything in our own datacenter but we had affiliates that "leased" part of cluster. Just curious what they are planning to do logistically with getting office computers...

Can't do LT subs on KS I thought?

Looking at the screen shot you know what I thought would have been cool if they could have (i'm sure it is too early for this suggestion) reconstructed Guk or Sebilis with this new engine. IF he's going to play around, I would have liked to have seen them literally walk through an upgraded...

I guess that just shows everyone has their preferences. While i'm sure it is the minority preference I would choose EQII visually over WoW. EQII always felt a little more real to me allowing me to get more deeply immersed into the game. However, I never felt they used it to their full...

Yes... PvP was the best. They eventually messed it up but was a great time while it lasted.

Very true. I remember that well. Me and some of my closet friends played both and I raided through WotLK but toughed out EQ2 all the way through. Honestly, I look back and enjoyed EQ2 so much more. I think it was one of those rewarding moments of "seeing something through" because in the...

Camp Check?

Update #6

My only concern is where this is such a targeted group that their niche audience isn't going to be enough to pull this KS campaign off. Those of us that know and like what Brad is saying probably know about it and have made their decision. I'm hoping i'm very much wrong. This week will tell a...

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.
