Aren't the purple names simply the forum moderators? At Pjpantheon.com Kyndread said he was a forum moderator and it seems he is one of the purple names. I don't see them being anymore involved with the game other than moderating the forums and likely wouldn't be privy to any information that...

Don't you mean soon(TM)?

Realistically Pantheon would only need 10% of that to be profitable; anything beyond that would be gravy. The fact that "it's harder" is exactly the appeal; are there currently any PvE games out there right now that have harsh death penalties and "forced grouping"? The game is intended to fill...

I actually liked Sarkeesian's videos.

I'm pretty sure that Wyre Wintermule is Graye from the Vanguardthegame.com forums; he is a hardcore Vanboi that wouldn't lose faith in Brad McQuaid very easily. I'm pretty sure he is for real and explains why there was a $10 backer on day 2 that never last faith and pulled out.

I'm not going to dig up the quote but they clarified that there would be no shop that sales "items of power". I'm sure you're probably referring to the kickstarter add-ons but those were put in place back when they were still trying to be serious about having the kickstarter be successful. The...

Flight, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you that Brad really does need to find a competent CEO to run his company because he have proven time and again that management isn't his specialty. That said I actually enjoyed Vanguard despite the bugs and much rather have the game as it was in...

Flight, Just because they have one city out of many that is similar(I've not played DikuMud so I'm taking your word for it) doesn't mean much. Almost all video games I played have Easter eggs and other features that are "borrowed" from other games so I'm not sure how relevant the Diku stuff...

Since they are planning to charge a subscription they really don't need a huge number of players for the game to be profitable. If they can get 50,000 people to subscribe at $15/month they would have make $9 million in the first year. 50,000 subscribers doesn't sound that farfetched if they...

That's the troll from the Kickstarter comments that kept making wild accusations about me. They also managed to piss off EQOANostaliga by accusing him of secretly being an employee of SOE and was referred to in his 12 minutes blame game video. Seriously that person is by far the worst of them...

Maybe this thread should be titled "Pantheon: ForumQuest" since that is the only "game" we have from them right now. I'm still cautiously optimistic that now that the craptastic Kickstarter campaign is over they will be able to actually get their shit together and get this thing back on...

I sent an email to Ben with a few questions about their new website though I didn't ask that question in particularly. I don't think the forum access accumulates since I don't see anything that would suggest that it does. However most pledge packages do offer forum access and the more...

There are at least a few good posters such as PhoneticHalo that have become Gold members. I'll probably also join at some point to once they start accepting payments through someone other than paypal. I want this game to be made and actually be good and the thing the team needs least right now...

He didn't state the opposite. He said a dungeon finder would be a part of the game "if" it was deemed necessary during the alpha stage of the game. Unless the players demand en masse during alpha I actually doubt a dungeon finder would actually make into the release version of the game. I...

He never mentioned rerolled. He did however mention the fact that he was pulled into argument by "some girl and this other guy" so I looked at what he was referring to and found out that "the girl" was none other than Dayna Gilbert that repeatedly ripped into popsicledeath and myself. So even...

Yeah the hardcore fanboi types are really easy to rile up. Only makes me want to join them that much because those hardcore fanbois really need someone with a realistic perspective on those forums. Paying $15/month to play "Pantheon: ForumQuest" could actually prove to be pretty entertaining.

The team made many many mistakes before and during the campaign but that didn't keep me from backing the project or raising my pledge to help with the final push. The low number of backers has a lot to do with a failure to getting the word out. I most likely would not be here right now if I...

To be fair it's probably only 3-4 fake 10k backers; at least two of them are for real. However yeah; this is a terrible final push but at least it's getting one instead of suffering the ultimate embarrassment of going backwards at the end. Seriosuly I couldn't find one that actually went...

He is the face of the project and he probably should be but after the backlash some of his comments has got, like the tweet about angel investors, maybe he's decided it's better to let Ben his PR manager handle most of that stuff. If nothing else there has at least been a lot of participation...

I'm still hoping that it does fund without fraud but I don't think there is any real chance of it actually making it all of the way to $800,000. I would like to see it get to at least $500,000 just to show that there was a half million dollars worth of support for this game.

You still have a stickied thread right at the top of most popular forum page that everyone is should be aware of since you do kind of outline the forum rules there......

Fun Fact. CanadinaXegony has almost 700 posts at Pjpantheon.com but didn't seem to realize that you're one it's staff members.

Well there it was full and then there was another $10,000 pledge which made it look like there was a 10k backer that didn't have his 10k pledge tier which is probably why they decided to remove the limits at this point. Either way it does at least seem to be giving them some momentum in the...

I actually just finished typing and sending a 1667 word email to Ben about where I think they made mistakes and what they should have done instead. Unless they can show us their plan I personally don't think they will be able to raise much more than $200,000 on their private website; they'll...

Another statistical anomaly: being on top of the kicktraq while losing funding.Kicktraq

For the first three weeks they were actually on the right track. Once we got to the 4th week, they decided they wanted to have a website ready for post kickstarter funding and refocused their attention there instead of on the kickstarter like it needed to be. Again having the website ready for...

I think most of us believe they do plan on trying to make a game. However they totally went into this kickstarter unprepared. They need to try another one down the road that is much better organized and presented to show that they can learn from past mistakes.

I know only 1 in 50 manage to screw it up this badly.

Looks like they changed the website to no longer display what they raised on kickstarter and now says "we've raised coming soon". Looks like the comments Popsicledeath and Dahkoht posted on the kickstarter page were listened to after all.

That would be sad. I'll probably actually be upping my pledge since I do want this to at least register over $500,000 to at least show that there was a half million dollars of support for this project.

I'm not saying the haven't screwed up this kickstarter royally, they have. I'm well aware they could very well never deliver a game but I am willing to risk some money on it. However I do think that since they are using unity a talented zone designer like Vu can produce a lot of quality...

The quote you are referring to is by George Santayana:

I would respectfully ask that you don't since it could actually lead to bad PR that could actually damage what hope remains for this game of actually being developed. I did however report two specific posters for their conduct.

If success is measured in comments per day they helped the campaign immensely. See yesterday was #2 day for comments:Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen by Visionary Realms, Inc. :: Kicktraq

The stupidity shown by Ryan D. Freer and Dayna Gilbert in the comments section is astounding. If only there was a way to use human stupidity as an energy source; we could replace a nuclear power plant with these two people alone.

I didn't even see that. Man that's pathetic...... They needed "get their vision in ink and their team in-sync" before they went to kickstarter.

According to the people of the kickstarter comments I'm a troll that just wants to dis the game and sabotage the kickstarter. The website is preparing it's store and is currently saying the raised $425,000 with no reference to the kickstarter and the Champion level membership is now named...
