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...

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...
