So does this mean our prom date is off?

Get the sand out of your vagina. At the pace of this Kickstarter they would have to move to Bangladesh to run an MMO.

I'm not pushing a move - I agreed with Merlin earlier that after the game got made they should consider moving some aspects (data center hosting, an office or two) to cheaper locations. Somehow it turned into people selling their houses before the kickstarter was done. It doesn't matter...

Making your dollar stretch is a terrible idea, said no one running a business ever.

Look chump, this company is having trouble getting funded. Talking about ways to save them money is not "Happy Meal Business School Background retardation". Its common fucking sense. It might not be the best idea under the circumstances, but at this point they should be looking at everything...

I'm interested. Send me a PM with some way to contact you.

Thanks cupcake.

Prototypes are mightily important for developing the mechanics, but they're rarely ready for public consumption.

Convo, you are right. I edited my post to get things back on track. We disagree on some things and I'm dropping it.

Want to see more on the combat mechanics. Perhaps a power-point on twitch, because any prototype would look like ass at this point.

You're right. Lets get back to EQ1 1H/2H parsing.

There just isn't much to talk about so we're having an argument about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Standard stuff.

Data centers are about to take it up the tailpipe once the new energy regs go online in California, not to mention the ticking time bomb of the healthcare changes. These are not trivial expenses when running an MMO on thin margins. Tough time to start a business, doubly so if your idea isn't...

They have a class called "Dark Knight". The Business Relocation Coach: Calif. Reach New High As Companies Opt for Other States, Nations (Updated April 15 to Reflect New Loss) Yes, such a terrible shitty idea... lol

Can be said about any industry. For every Amazon.com there were mountains of dot com busts in the late 90s. The only place where everyone is a winner is children's programming and the Special Olympics.

The fact that they live in California, and are starting the company there, is not going to prevent this from being funded or made. Don't even need an office. Basements / garages are fine. But "creating" Pantheon is something to do until the unemployment runs out. If this doesn't work, Brad...

I already pledged, although I doubt my money will ever leave my account. These guys just aren't passionate. Moving is a red herring; they should have done that before asking for 800K to buy an office in San Diego. Seeing as this thing isn't going to get funded, yes, he would be better off in...

$8,500 is all Rerolled needs to get started on the Rerolled MMO Abyssal MMORPG ENGINE There are some open source MMO engines but most of those are not ready for prime time or are dated. We could make dreams come true! heh.

There is definitely an audience for this... but I wonder how many people stopped by the early kickstarter and didn't see anything impressive? The kickstarter now, and the interviews have all been higher quality. Where else do you go to get the word out?

I'm sure they considered it. I can only make assumptions like anyone else that is interested in the project. Every person has things in their lives that are more important than career. Now, if this is a handpicked team, and we are seeing the fruits of the labor of it. They are not on pace to...

And it shows.

I don't disagree. If doing this kind of thing was easy, everyone would do it. Each person has a certain level of comfort, and families of people with the entrepreneurial spirit have to be on board as well. Similar to military families. Lots of moves, lots of stress. I don't think poorly of...

And this is why I'm having doubts these guys are serious about creating the game. A serious man does what is needed because he is passionate about his mission. It isn't uncommon for people creating startups to live in near squalor as they pour every ounce of time, energy and money into it...

I was the top-equipped warrior on the Innoruuk server (RIP) for a number of years until I left after we cleared Pop a few times, so my perspective on warrior balance in EQ1 is skewed. That said, I thought the class was fun and when played right was an asset in normal exp groups, and really...

Starting to see P99 backer comments. Funny to see the impact of that community, hope to be surprised. edit: Everytime I write P99 i think of P90X.

P99 giving early access to Velious (and other items on p99) for donating to Pantheon. Should get a few backers for that.

How many different times do you need to be told this isn't going to be a game for you (if it even gets made). We get it, you want everyone to be a special snowflake. Every other game caters to this. Go play those.

To riff on another poster earlier, try this: Groups have banners that they can place outside of zones / dungeons, like an anchor. Anyone can inspect it, and the banner has information about where the group is, what they are trying to do (grind xp, camp a mob), the group composition and who...

Make sure you use the 'Jumbotron' rule when messaging or texting* a girl. Before you hit send, would you feel comfortable having your words up on a jumbotron in a stadium full of friends and strangers? If not - or just unsure, you need to edit, or not even reply. Its ok to reply less than a...

I wish I was trolling. Me and the wife are getting ready to start working on kid #2You'd think with all the time we've been stuck inside with our son, unable to leave because it is 0 degrees out, that I'd have already scheduled a vasectomy. All kidding aside (pun intended) chasing my 14 month...

Unless there is already some VC lined up on the side, promising to a certain dollar value and we'll see this getting funded no matter what. Shady but savvy. If they pulled 800K out of thin air, then I doubt they know what they're doing and the rest is just hot air... and I would agree that...

So, my 14 month-old son is obsessed with Wheel of Fortune. We don't let him get much screen time, but this show transfixes him before bed. I've heard other parents say this about Wheel of Fortune. What is it? I know I can't stand the contestants and I'm fairly sure that Pat Sajak knocks a few...

The state of this thread:

Hardest Game Ever> Wow or Eq. By a longshot. Edit: I forgot how much level 2 makes me cry.

Brad and co would be served watching this presentation about crowdfunding done right, by Chris Roberts @ the 2013 GDC. Good part starts at 31:50. Gamasutra - Video: 'Going beyond crowdfunding' with Star Citizen's Chris Roberts

The only Unity game I've put any time into is Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if the latest version is multithreaded or you have to pay extra to look under the hood, but C# .NET multi-threading will help with background resource loading and a separate physics thread.. The physics can bring slower...
