The thinking from the people I am talking to over on the OVF is,"ehhh, its 2017? I guess I'll look at it then". Just to far away for most people it seems.
Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO
- Thread starter gogojira_sl
- Start date
On the positive side, with EQN: Landmark's alpha release, Brad and team now have a platform full of rich art assets where they can build their own MMO. I bet Boogie will even harvest some granite and sandstone for him.
Yeah I mentioned earlier the same thing both of you are saying. I've got some friends who were there when EQ launched and range from no problems with Kickstarter , if it appears decent idea , to others who would love this style of game but are not going to drop a dime (even at a discount) on anything until they can actually play it , literally waiting to preorder the week before early access.
There's no way to get that type to pledge , but they can try and hopefully gather a little steam from the improvements from the KS and interviews , Garriott thing and so on.
I would argue because they are KICKSTARTING A PROJECT. Perhaps there needs to be a site for the second or third round of financing of a site or project. There is a huge difference. One in which I find the misuse of the world "kickstart" to be troublesome. To me kickstarting implies a virgin project at the very ground floor. Not a polished profuct nearing release seeking a third round of fund raising. I know others who believe the opposite but they deem to just ignore what the phrsse kick start means.

I would buy that shirt and the Dark Knight shirt posted earlier in the thread in a heart beat. They need to open these T-shirt sales to people who cannot or will not put in a crap load of money. I am only in for $45 right now, but I would drop $20-$25 each for some cool looking shirts.It's a long camp for a rare spawn =/

Pretty confidant the game is going to get made regardless of how the kickstarter ends. A better kickstarter just means the game gets made easier/faster/better. There is ample reason to support the kickstarter if you want the game to succeed but no need to get down in the dumps if it starts looking anemic.
Just thought I'd throw that out there and save a few slit wrists.

What about an old-school power-studio? Shroud of the Avatar and Pantheon under the same company. A one-stop shop for all your old-school gaming needs!
They could even work out some kind of station pass sort of thing, where a subscription gets you access to Pantheon as a sub, and gets you SotA bucks in the other. Or where you can "buy" your Pantheon sub with SotA bucks. I'm sure a lot of gamers wouldn't play both on their own, but if they're linked even more, there might be an opportunity there. I mean, I was jokingly going to bring this up at first, but if they were tied even closer like this I'd enjoy playing Pantheon primarily, but screwing around in a UO style open world too, and if they were to make it that much more accessible, I wouldn't have any reason not to.

Sounds like you had a badass evening, getting high and writing on gaming forums with your phone.

I'm sorry, but you got high and put out an incomplete, flawed forum post? So, no matter what sense you make in future posts or how much you explain the situation, I'll never, ever, EVAR trust you again and any post you make I'll immediately make a reply how I remember that one post and demand you burn in hell for it for all eternity.

If this thread has show us one thing, It's that people have many different opinions on what a Kickstarter should be used for. Seems it's one of the daily arguments that go on here.
My hope is that KS will do about 12-13k today, followed by 12 a day for the next 19. Then somehow get 285k in the last 3 days.. Longshot but it seems the best hope.
No matter what it's going to take a massive last minute funding. Just a question of will it need 400k on the last few days? or 200k?

if this gets funded and the game gets made, i will give out 10 copies of Pantheon to rerolled.
(it's not going to get funded)
(it's not going to get funded)
I think we can officially retire the "what happens if Pantheon doesn't get Kickstarter funded."
