Link the quote? Anyway cohh already had his own crowdfunded game project which took backers money and didn't deliver anything. Look up "Project Resurgence".

Hey guys just heard about this game while waiting for a bus on my morning commute to work, can't wait for it to release so I can play as THE HUMAN.

But it also doesn't make much sense to use an IP such as Everquest for a mobile game because the goodwill from its audience won't transfer to a mobile game. SEE: Attempts to make mobile games using Ultima, Dungeon Keeper, Commander Keen, etc IPs.

They won't get any royalty checks. EQ isn't a song they wrote. They were employed by Sony at the time to develop EQ and once they stopped being employees of Sony that's the extent of how much Sony would be obliged to pay them.

Brad's ideas were lifted almost entirely from TorilMUD. The initial "Everquest Vision" was basically to make a 3D version of Toril. The "Visions" of Vanguard and subsequently Pantheon were to capitalise on the success and goodwill of EQ by doing the same thing again.

That's because the game was originally envisaged as a desperate attempt for Brad to make some money. Brad was known for making MMOs so it made sense to pitch as "Brad McQuaid's new MMO!"

They should just admit that their intention is fully to re-purpose the existing assets into a survival royale mode and to scrap the plans for an MMO, and that the recent art style redesign is due to this. All this bullshit about it being a "testing mode" is a blatant lie.

The art style feels a lot more like EQ than Pantheon's did/does

Pantheon have always wildly oversold how big/difficult their project was. Project Gorgon is another similar oldschool MMO that was made by like one guy and is full of features.

So they're putting out some sort of Battle Royale mode to recoup their losses and guard against accusations of never shipping a product. Miraculously coincides with the change to a Fortnite-esque art style!

This still doesn't allow the window to be resizeable?

Oh thank God a Star Citizen player is here to assure us this isn't vapourware!

Watch them remember they own the IP and decide to outsource a predatory microtransaction-fuelled "Everquest" mobile app to a Chinese company.

Once per install. That includes multiple devices and, crucially, free-trial installs.

Have they made any comment on the recent Unity pay-per-install drama?

WoW Lore: Hey, remember the Warcraft 3 Campaign? Something something Arthas something The Scourge something Illidan.

Given that article was written in 2018, probably nothing. It was likely bullshit to attract investment. For a generic high fantasy Tolkein/D&D style world? Not really. EQ1's setting/lore was hardly the most original, and most players were barely even aware of any of the lore.

why are there no prefabs on the floor or walls? Would it be so hard to drag some skulls, barrels, etc into the scene? why are the walls and floors single flat planes? why are the textures so misaligned? Why are is there ostensibly no bump mapping? Why is the scene unlit? There are no shadows.

Where are you getting these numbers from?

Why are the goblins so huge? Is this some store-bought asset they've chucked in and not bothered to scale to match the rest of their assets? The art styles don't match, either. The goblin looks like it's from a cartoony game like WoW or Warhammer Online.

The 15 year old version of the game was its most popular, commercially successful and culturally relevant. This isn't exactly some early build we're talking about.

That "badass" voiceover doing the fear litany in the trailer is so cliché and cringe.

I think that's the point. It's EQ reimagined for people who are sick of playing the same zones on P99/Progression for the past two decades. Pantheon isn't EQ reimagined, it's Vanguard reimagined with some climbing mechanics. M&M also doesn't have lofty ideas about being some sort of commercial...

From the stream it looks more like Vanguard than early EQ. It looks less like early EQ than the progression servers, even.

Damn that cartoony Free Realms-esque art style was so bad.

Do AMD users still have to use a third-party program to make the game run in single-core mode?

Oh and don't forget Project Resurgence had the groundbreaking feature of selecting your character's "pronouns" (but not their stats)

Cohh raised a LOT of money for Project Resurgence, also. All of it went down the drain. It takes a SERIOUS level of mis-management to fail to deliver a single player indie game with almost $200,000 worth of funds.

He also doesn't reply when asked specific questions about his posts. Several times I and others in this thread have asked him to clarify things about his weird Everquest/Furor/"Fuhror" stories but he just goes ahead and starts another semi-coherent post that looks like AI generated text.

Streamers are very particular about curating their image/genre

This isn't a great omen. SEE: 1) Cohh's failed Kickstarter project, Project Resurgence, where he wasted backers' money and never delivered anything: 2) Hero's Song, John Smedley's project which Cohh was involved with, which turned out to be vapourware:

Okay so has anyone else heard of Furor running an open raid guild on another server in his spare time or did this exist entirely in Mr. Sox's imaginationland?

Another Unity scene. Surely to qualify as a "zone" it must satisfy some of the DikuMUD/MMO qualities that separate it from a piece of terrain with textures and meshes attached to it? Maybe it will be a zone when it's populated with mobs and people are connecting to it and running around in it...

Bold to assume Asmon would be aware of Pantheon let alone have any desire to review it.

Vaniki is pretty fast levelling you should be fine

No 'Sigil' was based on 'Crimson Sigil', Brad's guild in TorilMUD...

UO Did the shards thing first.

I can't believe you'd break NDA like this

It looks like oldschool D&D art. Generic D&D art these days looks like soulless Korean-MMO/Marvel trash...

They were infamous proportional to the entire playerbase of MMOs at the time. The popular kid at your school wasn't popular among all schools in the world.
