If there's one thing I've learned as a player all these years its, players don't know half as fucking much as we think we do. It was basically the community that killed our own game but we were to stupid to know it back then. Be careful what ya ask for.

The Chris Chan's house has burned down kick starter has better marketing...
I mean fuck was the KS page supposed to evoke nostalgia by emulating the web design of 1999?
i'll be getting the $250 lifetime sub anyways, just wish the KS page did not look like something done by a disinterested 16 yr old.

Oh I calmed it down it all right, yall were sucking his cock before I said something negative. I can't be the only one to remember Shilling vs McQuaidJourneys with Jaye s comment on Brad McQuaid and Vanguard(only thing I could find) FoH boards fucking crucified Brad over Vanguard/Pill debacle. Hate to bring that shit up because he does post here but lets lower those expectations a bit shall weWe don't contribute to kickstarters every time. Get a hold of yourself man. Nobody thinks this is the one, but maybe it will be playable for more than 3 months. Also I enjoyed the hell out of and vg so yeah, Brad gets 250, despite his lack of management skills

For me it's a test to see how he handles the next 39 days. I've pledged 250 and plan on sticking with it. It could go up though , or be pulled completely which I am sure lots of others are thinking also of both options , preferring to back even more.
If he chats it up more everywhere from here to Massively to name whatever other cesspool of a gaming site you want the next month , along with other team members , constant updates on the KS site and comments from any of the team , genuinely and excitedly pushes the game , it should fund well over the 800k. Again if I was in his position I just can't imagine not wearing myself out talking to everyone who would listen everywhere and making sure my other team members were also. Jacobs would post on massively and mmorpg threads constantly himself and directly interact there as Brad does here some , but did it many , many times a day , every day while his KS was going on. Constantly.
If it's like the past 24 hours , where finally one update , more excitement from fans and Troy seems like more of the dev team than the dev team does itself on the KS thread , easy enough to pull the backing on the last day.
Which is the last thing I want to do , I want to be irritated because he introduces a higher tier with some nice physical swag that I can't pass up and bump up to.
He doesn't have to answer specific mechanic questions with any certainty , but he does at least have to act excited about the game.

Completely agreed. We're now sudo "shareholders", I hope to hear many updates for the remaining KS and the rest of development, its only fair.
Make the second bonus account from the upper tiers also alpha-enabled please.

Trending towards 1.4mil... I can almost see the New Content: Adventure Area already!! What exactly does that mean anyways? Upon game release, isn't every zone a "New Content: Adventure Area"?

Ya lol, i think the next focus, besides the media blitz the whole team needs to do (we can help spread the word, but the Pantheon Devs should help as well =P), should be on revising those stretch goals.

I just don't think the KS page properly hyped the features that makes the game 'old school' and 'hardcore'.
Look at Project Eternity for example, their whole PR campaign was built around the idea of Baldur's Gate + Planescape + Icewind Dale meshed into a single game. The pantheon page/video has too many standard MMO cliches.

yes. its another zone added to the game.
if it goes for 1m. lets say 10 zones in the game. if they make 1.4, they add another and have 11 zones.
They need to hire a copy editor to go through the KS page, and they also need to change one of the bullet points under the Game Tenets:
"An expectation that the path of least resistance should also be the most entertaining"
Doesn't that directly contradict what this MMO is supposed to be?

The high end teirs should be hidden. You don't want to make people think that without 6 million dollars the game will suck.
Also, some people talk about stretch goes and how they should correlate with the additional work required.
I can see that. There are a lot of UO, DAoC, Meridian59, etc people who want something new.
This is what I am afraid of. They should dissolve the 1.4 stretch goal and hype the 5.1 Additional Continent. Besides, that will bump the monk lovers one step closer so they can leave the rogue class alone
100% agreed. Eternity knew exactly how to push the buttons of their target audience.
Pantheon devs need to push this aspect of it more on the page itself. And they all need to make sure someone's around all the time adding whatever comment they can.
