They needed funding. The difference is instead of one blow-hard coming around occasionally looking for reassurance his investment was sound and everyone having to put on a show for the day, it's a horde of fanboys with nothing better to do than hit refresh all day on a website who are numerous and needy. It's like having an entire bus yelling 'are we there yet' only in this case having to turn around constantly to answer to them will probably help cause the bus to crash. Fanboys are the own worst enemy of the thing they're trying to support. If they were more rational, they'd have donated their money and asked for nothing more than eventually getting a game. Of course, that's still not at all rational, which is why rational people are no longer supporting BradCo and Pantheon.
I hope that one day, supporting this project, will seem like the rational thing to do. =P I have a dream... Someone post me a MLK pic!

What is really going to happen is that this will crash and burn and nobody will take you seriously ever again on this forum.

Though implying we ever did is rather comical.

It may be the fact that dozens of pages back I couldn't even give my own opinion without him white knighting this stupid project of fail.

I saw that exchange between you two, and Convo hasn't been white knighting anything. Yes, he is choosing to pledge. Yes, he has hope that it will be made and made well. Is he being foolish? Perhaps. But he has been critiquing the project strongly where he feels it is justified just like almost everyone else here.

He's not being unreasonable. You are.

I know this feel, feels like I've signed up for a womens rights class without knowing. Only to be slandered for opposing views.

Maybe it's the '14 thing.

I can't say I really paid much attention or knew you prior to you posting here? Are you some kind of an amazing poster that I wasn't aware of? I had no idea you've been watching me so closely.. The sexual attraction thing comes up once again.

You're right. I will not bother with this thread anymore. I will let Brad do all the work for me from now on and watch from the sidelines.

Don't worry, I'll treat you right baby.

But seriously just ignore him.

This is what you seem to miss.. I know it's a long shot.. we all do. You just can't understand that I'd rather support this game, than play the crop that's currently out there. Will I be disappointed if this all doesn't work out? of course, but I'll get over it. I certainly won't let it scar me like you've obviously been scared..

At this point, I'm really just trying to do what was asked of me here, and to keep people in the loop. You just can't even handle basic updates, even tho it was requested by people.

Sounds like a good idea. You actually seem more emotionally invested in this than Convo has ever sounded.

Where are we on our DayZ style MMORPG?
I've fleshed out the survival/endgame recently. I mean, I'm not sure it's possible. It'll be hard to explain if you don't understand the layout of the world, so I'll try to give you a brief overview:

The world consists 4 major regions. An web of tunnels and underground cities. This is mirrored above by a 'mount Olympus' style ENORMOUS peak, from which a web of currents (for travel - think flight paths) connects to the ground level. The ground level is divided into two segments, a kingdom in the east divided from the west (which is far larger) by an enormous wall. The western region of the 'continent' is wild, contested, unpopulated, and overrun with giant beasts. The world is NOT some miniaturized globe a la Azeroth. It's to scale. The mountain is a mountain.

Basically, the goal of the game is to push out into the wild zone, trying to establish safe and livable areas by pushing back the beasts who have claimed the land. The further west you get, the more difficult and numerous the beasts become. The beasts can only exist where they have spread their influence, so you must destroy them, destroy what is maintaining their existence, and build your own stuff in its place. If undefended, they will over run your fortifications and reclaim the area. The entire area west of the wall is a fully contested, PVP enabled, survival crafting focused tug of war with a PVE enemy.

As players reclaim the wild, they will uncover ancient cities that have been taken that will serve as PVE dungeons. There will also be fast travel nodes (both to the mountain and underground kingdoms) and resources that are only available in this contested area. Basically, the whole 'survival' game will take place here, and it will be very important for groups of players to hold certain areas. Imagine if your guild controlled access to Sebilis by building its fortifications around it and defending it from both PCs and monsters?

Behind the wall, in/on the mountain, and underground, exist the 7 races starting areas and PVE only content (traditional dungeons) for the newbies/bluebies.

It's gonna rock. (If I had money or skill, that is)

Actually, Canada has been helping with mod stuff and has been fine. She really doesn't interfere at all. I don't follow every thread there, I'm sure shit gets out of hand. As of right now, it's just not as bad as I thought it would be.

Don't be so sensitive PSD.. :-/. My bad on the assumption.
I trust your view on the folks , that's a big turnaround for her then , towards the end she was going full nuts on PJP and the KS thread right along with the McDonalds 18-20 year old student chick.

Don't ruin it. The thought of someone like exmortis writing their lore is going to make me chuckle periodically through out the day.

He has to write while holding one of his toy swords too.

Still chuckling over this post. Besides ExMortis's KS posts , I remember his avatar more than any others. At first I though surely it was a funny/troll pic , but then after reading his posts it dawned on me , no , he genuinely is taking a serious pose pics with his swords.

This is what you seem to miss.. I know it's a long shot.. we all do. You just can't understand that I'd rather support this game, than play the crop that's currently out there.

Genuinely appreciate it too , because I couldn't bear to read the forums even if I was a sub/donator without throwing up. I'm fully still thinking this is a train wreck , but do like hearing your updates.

In the eastern kingdoms death is a normal corpse run similar to WoW.

In the western night, a death means Permadeath. Sorta.

You have 8 gear slots. Almost all your abilities except the most basic (melee attack, kick, gate) come from gear that grants then (8 max). When you die, you become a beast until you collect 8 souls from other players. When you kill them, you may loot 1 of their items. Then you respawn At your starting city with 8 new abilities. Your banked items are untouched

Also, you are asymmetrically powerful when you are a beast
