    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think it really depends on what they mean by "very early". Brad et al should specify more likely dates. (Ie are they bringing those folks into current closed internal testing at the close of the kickstarter? )

    Has there been any discussion about a reddit AMA? I have seen it suggested a couple times, but haven't seen Brad comment on that.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The main issue, as I see it, is it would require a lot of time to moderate, to keep it from turning into the typical cesspool of almost all open "official" forums. So much bickering and bitching, would most likely turn off more then on.

    Tangibles are actually a REALLY good idea for stretch goals in a kickstarter.

    I'll let Ryahl (my husband and the author of the piece) know it was enjoyed. He lurks here sometimes, but doesn't read the site as much as I (and I usually just lurk). It is always nice to hear folks read/like his stuff. Did you read it Brad? You should! (Edit- I noticed the second...

    Well on the plus side, most folks who fund it are going to be in the alpha, and that'll (likely?) be much sooner.

    Yeah but there hasn't been much as far as interviews, etc. I know Massively had a small blurb about it, as well as MMORPG..when it first hit. But nothing much more than an announcement has been seen by anyone other then PCGamer, I believe. Like, one quick paragraph type of thing. An...

    I don't know draegon, but I will say, there are companies and consultants that focus exclusively on these things. It is all about effective marketing. I'm in shock no one there had the wherewithal to realize they needed it.

    East/west commons also used to have these zone lines. There were a mix of both types in EQ. The ones he is talking about (small area) is if there was a tunnel or path through a mountain, or something. I didn't have an issues with both types in EQ. The maps were different.

    Well, that and a lot of folks actually do want Everquest again. It was a unique game, and the only thing that ever came close was Vanguard, which also has a lot of great things about it. Maybe he learned something from his failures, maybe not. I am, however, willing to give him $45 to give...

    I believe that is the "company" account, not his personal one. At least, I think it looks that way. Not that I am saying it is right. I'm just saying.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    My biggest concern right now is I think the reward levels are poorly designed, from a marketing PoV. They should have offered 500 of the alpha invite levels at $40 or so, then another 500 once those sold out at an updated price. Something to give a feeling of "early bird" rush rewards. I also...

    There will be PVP. This is what we have about PVP in our write up onGame SystemsThey have said the first views of PVP will be open as part of Beta4.

    oh..man.. uhhh....... Guildleves open as part of the main story line. I THINK it's the level 10 class quest..? it says "Hey go talk to them, they are now unlocked". But, i'm honestly not sure. It's been quite a few weeks. I checked our site, I don't see it referenced anywhere there.

    First thing you should do is open your Guildleves, they accumulate over time, and getting them open ASAP is a MUST! (Don't use any until the level cap drops in Headstart/release). If you can get online for a short time on Friday, i would recommend doing that before you leave town. (As a wife...

    To expand on this, it sounds like there was some talk about making the solo instances allow for "friends", I haven't heard much about it since then..but I guess there is a chance we'll end up surprised and with that added perk (good? bad? I don't know...) I know Ryahl and I basically leveled...

    FYI - It looks like a LOT of folks are going to Gilgamesh (it is by far our most popular server choice on theSocial Recruitment Networkwe setup). No one really knows what to expect from queues, so hopefully that doesn't impact the server too badly. (noticed that was a reoccurring comment on...

    Yeah they were pretty clear they didn't want a Ninja tank class in ffxiv. I'd be shocked if that changed.

    One of the things we were told was the set up of the crystal tower specifically, but also the maze, will allow rapid expansion of raid content. I'm not sure how it will play out, but it is intriguing.

    This is an example of the confirmation. There was speculation this would be how it worked, but it hadn't been confirmed that both jobs would be 50, or if the second job would be different. We were told that, yes both would be 50.

    That is kinda what we were going for. When we first started to write it up the approach was an attempt to pull together what was known & suspect, differentiating the two. We then decided to run it by an SE contact, mostly from the framework of...."if we are completely off the msrk on...

    Hmm, I hadn't seen any discussion about what types of dungeons would be the 4-man vs the 8-man content..and definate confirmation of dungeon expansion on bosses for those hardmodes. As well as confirmation that some of the primals will be not only FATEs, but also dungeon/instances raid...

    It will have Hardmode version of all the dungeons (at or soon after launch), as well as 8 man and 24 man content (not sure when)
