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

    Heh. Personally, I'm willing to donate upwards of $60 once the game is released and I've read reviews. That's how I always make my "donations."

    It was more than two I think. Legacy of Steel was pretty much the Blizzard dev's EQ guild. I played on The Nameless back then, and I'm pretty sure I remember it was Rob Pardo playing Ariel, the Guild leader of LoS, and I remember at least one other, Laminae maybe? posting original artwork...

    EQ Never

    The entire problem is trying to "make" the next big thing. That's not how it works. You cannot just make something a phenomenon, and when you try it always comes across as disingenuous and forced. Things blow up, and the "me too" companies try desperately to recapture that "lightning in a...

    That was pretty fucking good. "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive all the hootin' and hollerin', those are the sounds I make when I'm getting screwed."

    EQ Never

    I just now came here to post this link. Pretty obvious EQN was never being properly developed, Landmark money went to pay for H1Z1 most likely, with Landmark player's creations being used in videos to further the deception. Fucking hell.

    I'm glad to see someone else mention the art style. Many people seem to be unable to separate polygon count and texture meshes from the underlying art style. Quality means more than technical improvements, it also means the actual art itself is well done, that there's an overall theme, and it...

    Fucking hell every single track so far on the playlist is incredible. To me this is like finding a lost Mozart piece, I love Jay's work so much. And this is amazing. Amazing game music in the original EQ style by the man himself! Everyone here needs to at least listen to track 6: Echo...

    I totally agree with that, and as I said, I know it's early and I've been a gamer and computer geek for 40 years so I understand the development process. We've all seen pre-vis and true alpha footage. I just want to make sure they understand that the artstyleis really important. I'm not...

    I understand that the gameplay shown was super early, so it's hard to get a real sense of the final look, but there is a clear lack of art direction. They need a really great artist, who isn't also doing this, that, and the other job in the company. Just an artist. A great one. The current...

    Well, this entire thread only exists because we were all interested and supportive at first. The attitude only went to shit when the project turned to shit.

    I'd just like to take a moment and acknowledge how masterfully Elidroth trolled everyone here during the entire DBG debacle. From, "It's only a name change!" right through 150 people being fired, and on to "Oh I quit DBG months ago, but everything there is fine!" Bravo sir, bravo.

    question about vanilla Eq's night sounds

    Thank FUCK someone else heard this. I heard the same damn thing, and it was EQ's night sounds exactly. I'm an old audiophile and musician, and I did a lot of recording, mixing, etc. I have an ear for these things, and it was the same sound loop exactly. Fucking thank you, I haven't been able...

    You don't need items to enhance caster damage if the damage was set correctly to begin with. I suppose you could nerf caster damage and allow for artificial means of increasing it through itemization, but that's literally creating a problem in order to implement the solution. It does give...

    Casters were not gear reliant as much as melee in early EQ, but we did want that +Int/mana, as well as Charisma for Enchanters, and stamina for necros. I remember melee being resentful of this at the time actually, and many complaints of how gear reliant they were. Specifically I recall how...

    Jesus. This is exactly what I thought the graphics updates would be like back when they redid everything. I figured the character models would look like upgraded versions of the originals, not the retarded mongoloids we got.

    The last video in the gamespot series this week showed the lead dev explicitly laughing at this misconception, saying, "We are designing the algorithms so that you don't just have different colored sky and tress, like this planet is red, this one is yellow, etc." He even went so far as to...

    There's definitely an inner circle made up of the green names, who are communicating together with Brad behind the scenes. The Pantheon site is just the public face of this deal now, as can be seen by the inner circle's recent lack of activity on those forums, then sudden changes without any...

    So I was just checking for crazy posts from the Bradites, and noticed they've changed all the craziest's forum names to green, to signify them as official VR developers. They are pretending they have developers to give the illusion of an actual game being made, and to fluff up the ego of the...

    I actually enjoy the EQ Trilogy era gameplay. I often see people claim it's some sort of "first love" or "lost childhood" syndrome, but EQ wasn't my first MMO, and I was fucking 30 in 1999.
