it's a bad sign when people aren't confident enough in their project to risk their own assets on it. It's basic economics and banking.

I get that maybe the guys with families aren't willing to mortgage the house to go all in on a startup but it's not a good sign.

And stop with the pro bono shit, if you are dumb enough to believe a guy working at a startup is working pro bono you need to consult a dictionary and then your bank about freeing up cash to buy this great bridge I will sell you.

Pro bono publico (English: for the public good; usually shortened to pro bono) is a Latin phrase for professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment or at a reduced fee as a public service.

This start up as far as I can tell is not making any money. Whats the point of this KS or getting investors if they have a stream of income?

Was hoping today would have an interesting race to grab the attention of the redditors. But we get humans instead.

Maybe, just maybe all the concept art they are using wasn't art that was specifically made for Pantheon. I don't think they have any 'work' that reflects the game itself.

Also in with the obligatory 'this can turn it around for Pantheon'.

they have very little if any art. Only one guy is capable on the team currently.. the other 2 are in game artist. I think Brad should give a new blood an opportunity actually. Treat it like an Internship and a way to get in the business. Someone who has the time to crank out some good drawings. Plenty of artist around. Hell..He could even ask the fans to submit race art and pick a person like that.

The irony is. if they do get this funded.. they will have a shit load of things to show when it comes to crowd funding on their site..I don't know if the team will any personal money at this project, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do. They have put a ton of time into the PR part of this KS. Time=emotional investment which can lead to some serious justification of a financial risk. Personally, I hope they do whatever it takes to get this thing funded. It may be in it's early concept phase but it still sounds like a game I want to play.

I know at least 4 struggling graphic designers who would produce concept art/sketches for me for a case of beer... And I'm not even in the industry.

Surely one of these 10 dudes has a buddy that can put a pencil to paper?

I think I want to see a little more. 'Sounds like' vs. 'what the finished product will be' are usually not one and the same, if we go by every single release since EQ. I'm well past the point of devs talking up their game and then it turns out to be not exactly as advertised.

"The final tribe was the erudite Platocians,"

Really? Really? I bet they wear Togas and shit.

"from these two warring tribes sat the desert empire of the mystical Ethosians"

I bet they're black.

I don't disagree we need to see more.. But let's face it, any game in it's early development is more talk than anything. So right now, this game interest me.

Case of beer is not within Brad's budget yet.

Brad McQuaid : We want our first avenue to be completely crowdfunded so the players stay in control. We still have several avenues open to us, including reaching out to investors and publishers. We're very passionate about this game and equally confident that a nice chunk of MMO players really want a game like Pantheon.One way or another, we'll get it built and released, either solely via Kickstarter or by other means.

Im feeling like my KS contribution is not needed. I think it sounds better saying the games future relies on KS even if it doesn't.

Was just thinking....

Why the fuck would they have a mount (a lame ass horse, at that) as a reward? Why not 'Boots of the Journeyman' that grants a clickable run speed buff?

Ugh.
