Pantheon is dead and all the developers have moved on. Can we do the same thing? The latest group of posts would fit much better in the EQ subforum so move it there if we need to keep that PoS. It's bad enough to hear the same old shit about remaking EQ, it would be a profitable reboot, and all...

Why would they do all that work for so little reward? Looking though content to dig out the remodels. Using EQMac code, fixing holes, exploits, bugs,etc. Deal with the constant bitching from someone because too much was left in, too little was left in, or something wasn't the way people...

This post touches on the issues a EQ 1.5 would have. Many people want a harder game with more group focus. First, that doesn't mean it has to be like EQ at all. Second, beyond that point, there is a lot of different parts of EQ that some like and some don't. There are a vocal minority that...

Same here and that founder's pack deal a week ago was too tempting to pass on. Cheap investment with little risk.

Jackdiddio, For Hunger Games stuff, they need to stick to the book somewhat. Two players per server and, as you mentioned, random spawns for both players and weapons. Have a time limit and random PVE kill conditions that occur to prevent sitting still for long periods. Stuff live...

No more ridiculous than your exertion that just because Eve exists, a game like this has a market. Eve does things a lot different than most of the market and has found it's niche. What is truly unique about EQ 1.5? Oh it's hardcore, I forgot. The truth of the matter is this drive for old school...

Sweet! Elidroth, why the fuck did this look like a bunch of 16 yr olds were playing make a game? Please, don't hold back.

Khane gets it. A game requires work and no one is too ego driven to forget that or not understand that. Brad was in this for whatever he could get. Sure, he had no idea his name wouldn't generate more money. Sure, if he had gotten millions, he would have made something shitty and paid his gang a...

So, did making the cloak in game constitute more work than Brad did or less? Looking for wagers here. Eomer, I don't think Brad is that incompetent. He's been in this genre for 2 decades. Incompetent manager, sure. The question to ask is, "did Brad ever think a small amount of money would...

Convo, Normally I'd agree with Eomer as well but he's done nothing at all. Seriously, how could he possibly see this turning out well? There was no planning, no creative property, no effort applied. This isn't some magical fairyland where wishing on a star makes games. He's been a part of the...

I completely disagree. That's similar to Donald Trump saying he's not sure how US business bankruptcy laws work. He's done it several times and knows how to benefit from lenient bankruptcy laws. He's worked the system. Brad has done the same thing. Several people in the industry have...

I don't think EQ was amazing either. Amazing for it's time and some solid elements copied from other games but I think the tinted glasses are speaking. Here's how bad Brad is. SOE is trying to do 3 games at the same time and they still let his sorry ass go. There was no room for him with EQN...

Nice reference. I don't think she's too demanding or his sorry ass would have gotten work quicker after Smed dropped his ass like a AIDS-ridden whore. Imagine...she has to hear the glory years stories over and over while he can't keep steady work. " I'm a top producer with several quality games...

I think the guys on the team are nice people...but a capable team? I'm not sold yet. This project was a disaster and while I blame leadership for most of it...there still wasn't a lot shown from any angle. The PR was awful, the website in awful, the design was meh at best, lore sucked, etc. This...

ESO has the same problems as most MMOs over the past decade. It's too similar to the current formula which means it's either too much like WoW for some and not enough like it for others. There's a standard set for this and for many here, it doesn't do enough. I think getting the console gamers...

I agree with Frenzic. Some of the most devoted fanatics said they donated $250 and would do it again in a heartbeat. They could be lying but then why don't they give a higher figure? I think the $250 figure is from a very select group of people who were hoping for the sun, moon, and stars from...

I'd love to see where SOE claimed a fully functioning boss, dungeon, etc when they aren't doing that in Landmark. They may have promised a lot, but a lot of people have been playing the alpha for a while. There's a LOT more there than what Brad has shown. Hell, Landmark functions better than...

Big difference in late promises and vaporware. While SOE is late on all their goals for Landmark and will probably take longer than I'd like for EQN, this thing never showed much of anything. There was a lot of basic stuff done with a few hours of time invested. When your first pics are basis...

Exactly. Brad has shit on people and their families for years now. He's made millions off the backs of other people's work since the beginning. I have no pity for millionaire scumbags who shit on others for a living. Fuck Brad. With a rusty pole lol.

Convo, That was hilarious. Also, love it! With or without Brad indeed.

Lol, Tyen strikes again. Great question Salty! Ummm, wait...

Brad was a fool to enter this conversation. He's spent months off before while developing games and this was the perfect time for him to just fade away quietly. Instead he's getting ground up and there isn't one positive thing this interview will accomplish. His only true fanatics are already on...

caller- "You can talk all day or you can action". Aradune, "Absolutely! What is action again? Where do I sign up because that is awesome! Oh, and I paid my team some amazin' money and this business of one is going to rock!"

"Can I get somebody to edit videos for me? I seem to have lost my development team somewhere? I'm getting ready to make some really, really awesome videos but I just need a bit of free help....again." The Aradune. This interview is awesome.

No way Smed gives him a shot. First, Brad is allergic to work and responsibility. Second, Smed has solid leadership and better talent already on board. Brad has options in car sales and as a realtor. I'm sure some of the dupes would buy a used car off him if it meant more money for Pantheon...

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...
