Cross KS reward is smart. Look, it's UO and EQ. It's like getting a t shirt from both Nirvana's Nevermind and Metallica Black Album tours. Those games were the heavyweights of the early MMO era.
It makes sense there would be some player interest crossover. I played UO for nearly 2 full years myself before switching to EQ in late '99.
It's a cool idea, and cool of the Garriot team to go for it too.

because just like there are people here who will forgive brad and give him $350 for "reasons", there are plenty - and obviously many, many more - who will forgive jacobs, garriott, etc and also give them money.
that said the american system has always been to not harshly punish failure but help them pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and encourage them to try again. its very, very different from the european and asian mindset, although in the past 10 years it feels like america is becoming more critical of failure, risk, etc.

Maybe because he turned a group of college bar-flies into a multi-million dollar company. Maybe because he's actually done budgets, ran teams, led successful companies without investors. Maybe because he was the prot?g? of teenagers like Chris Roberts. Maybe because he created the original MMO that spawned a trillion dollar industry. Maybe even because he went into space.
I dunno, just a couple of guesses. And honestly your post is the most fucking retarded thing I've read in this thread. And that's really an accomplishment. Congrats.
For those who might by interested Trendane did voice over of the Ogres race for me. (brad should ask him to do the rest)

Pretty much this. Is it going to make the KS go into stretch goal 3 land? No. But seeing this as anything but a good and positive move by Brad and Co is again into stupid hater land.
There's no way to logically spin this as a negative.
I've been bitched at on the KS forums for being too negative (anything but out of touch fan posts are on there ), been critical here myself , but this is another + in a row for Brad's KS efforts this week. I'm genuinely surprised by the Garriott team up as didn't see that coming.
He might actually have a few more surprises and make this thing happen.
(Still highly skeptical , but it's move from no chance to small chance at least)

Trendane has a fairly decent voice.
Having said that, many years ago while taking Freshman composition, my professor told us "Read your paper out loud, if it sounds weird/bad, its because it is." Listening to the Lore passage read by someone sounded so.. awkward.

No one's questioning his accomplishments back the day. We just feel Garriot has failed to make any successful modern game in the past decade and a half. Thats more important to me then bootstrapping a series/brand 30 years ago. I am sure he can run a business and code shit but that has not brought him any success recently.

A new game to play, at the very least? The team obviously really loves that style of game, or they wouldn't emulate it. Now, I'm sure they're looking into a way to have their own server to make money off it or something, but deep down, I think even someone making money off of someone else's original idea gets excited when that original idea is being reborn.
Did you read his kickstarter page?
He's not making a modern game. Just like Brad, he's going back to doing what he does best.
Because people had/have a deeper bond with Brad's games than other games.
15 years passed. I've left EQ. Vanguard shuts down in 5 months.
I've not deleted all my toons nor gave away their amassed hoards.
I may not play them often. They are a part of me. I met my fianc?e there.
I have met several people through EQ and VG that I've met outside the game and have become good friends.
I can't say that about my time in WoW, Warhammer, RIFT, etc...
Warhammer was 5 V.G is 6 almost 7.. one cost an license fee other did not one was by publisher that well shut your shit down the other well let it ride to bitter end..
MJ Has EA To blame..
Brad has himself
Personal opinion Warhammer was a better game

Wha? Didnt microsoft pull its funding from VG? I mean not saying it was entirely microsoft fault, but same thing can be said for Jacobs. the fucking game was a mess post lv 30. Unbalanced mess with unfinished content. and the entire RvR keep battles were terrible in warhammer.

I think that's great, If he want's to do a remake of UO more power to him. Although I question how possible that is given how much technology and games have changed since the UO/Ultima days. My point was simply that people have been saying many won't trust Brad because of VG. Yet I rarely hear the same about Garriot despite his record since UO
Don't know what your laughing at two different games really as I'm a PvP person first raids bore me too tears such boring ass game play I never found the appeal..
Now tell me you need me to heal a 6 man cause it zerg busting I'm in.

Vanilla WoW pre-pvp arena, battle grounds or any pvp anything. Raw WoW pvp when the game first came out was my favorite pvp ever. You fought the otherwise BECAUSE they were the other side. Period.
