Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

I donated to the Library of Pantheon. Not Visionary Realms. Certainly not Pantheon Plus either.

From what I understand originally, VR had the help of an angel investor, Jason Epstein, former owner of Daybreak Games to help them with their backing. Jason had put a lot of his hedge money into various MMO projects but had to pull out when the accusations of being associated with the Russian Mafia.

There was some talk that Steven Shariff was going to buy Daybreak Games at one time but instead they just stood out in the parking lot passing out business cards when Daybreak started laying off their staff.

Brad had to sell his shares because he needed the money for his wife's cancer treatments and Jason had a hard time paying the bills because of the class-action lawsuit from EQ Next fiasco and a federal investigation.

Pixel Mage Games has been involved in a sexual harassment or bro culture lawsuit again that lead to the closing of their studio. I was there for the first-time accusation about the bro culture claim at SOE when the corporate got involved because of a former misdeed that led to their firing and filing for bankruptcy years later.

Pantheon got two investors in late 2020 to drop 200 k each so they could free up the kick starter money. They only raised half of the 800,000 needed. There were claims that Brad was using the donations of $150,000 as a slush fund for his personal business affairs and there was talk of another developer using another $50,000 for various projects. I certainly don't hold it against them. Brad's family owned and put up some hot SC real estate property valued at 100 million as collateral for the business. The staff stands to make a good bit of money if they can get the game to market and that's why they are being so cheap hiring fresh off-street content creators or Fiverr freelance designers to help with the project. Basically, they are making the new EQ-Vanguard as a tribute to Brad. The plan is to sell it to EG7.

Pimpin ain't easy in the video game industry. Eventually, everyone gets called a pedo or a sexual harasser in the industry. The passion leaves a child's eyes, and it becomes a business.




At this point, I don't care anymore. They hated me because of my suspected association with Liz Woolley. I have not spoken to her in years and don't really care to. Petty jealousy has ruined the game for me and its development. I know Baz is in love with the project and I didn't mind giving him the money to help him with his content.

in one of the wrestling clips, they used one of the falling gifs used in this forum.

Look how much Amazon spent 500 million developing New World and the bugs that killed the game. You can make a new game today without the masses of people tearing it apart in a matter of a few months with python and java scripts. There is no sense of adventure and mystery anymore as a result.

There will be bugs in Pantheon.

Do you know how medical insurance premiums are when you are in business with yourself? Sky high. Then imagine something like cancer treatments.

Apparently, you don't my father's bills were a lot with his insurance. My broken toe was 250,000 alone from one hospital which led to a partial amputation of my foot.

I am not Dannicus. I can't help what he did to Liz, apparently, he had ties with one of the executives at SOE from what I understand. Gaming companies hire gumshoes to dig into embarrassing details about people scaring them into silence.

I have seen a lot of Brad's friends here circling the wagon for him. After all, if it wasn't for Brad's original vision none of us would be here right here. Brad was no saint I will agree. but i can see people forgetting the past and moving forward.

Brad was crazy about his games once he called the FBI on a player for writing a fan fiction story about a character in his game.
