God bless you, you're trying.
I can't really give an opinion yet since I've played neither, but I don't get the EQ vibe from EA at all. It just comes off as very generic in the videos ive seen of it.M&M and Embers Adrift are two EQ style games that people seem to enjoy. Don't think the population on either are that high, though, because there just isn't the market for it that people want to believe
What I'm really curious about is how long they can go until their support hits the point where it's so low it is no longer considered viable to make. The Pantheon community was already small(and got smaller over the years), but the extraction mode debacle definitely made some long-standing supporters of the game finally call it quits. No one is coming INTO the Pantheon fandom in 2024 - they've already maxed out the number of people that are interested in the game.
If you look at /r/pantheonmmo on Reddit, their current sub count is 25k. In 2021 it was 23k. That's such a minimal amount of growth. Their last period of large growth on the subreddit was November 2018 to March 2019 where it went from 11.3k to 17.6k subscribers, and the only reason for that is Nov 2018 is when Brad died, not due to the game itself.
That’s great man. We loved the TikTok. Can you make another. I think Nirgon had some great ideas for topics.[ am home now.
EA is absolutely an "EQ clone." it's closer to actual EQ than EQ2 or vanguard or any of the other "spiritual successors" which were really just half assed attempts at copy WoW despite claiming the opposite.I can't really give an opinion yet since I've played neither, but I don't get the EQ vibe from EA at all.

Yes, it is real shit alright. Complete and utter shit that is definitely real and really shitty.You look at their progress after receiving funding and shit got real.
There are still three or four years of "funded" development and this is not a lot to show for it. I know your next line will be about a small team and not being an AAA studio, but plenty of teams have done a lot more with a lot less.This is the only real MMO on the horizon.

Equating begging for an investment and concept art years with years in serious development is crazy, and you guys keep harping on that lol.
More seriously tho.... Sox let's get a real podcast, no generic softball stuff when you're feeling up to it. Fate and the people of this thread have chosen you to be the front man.

Valhiem only had 4 developers. and your point is nirgon? Rift is still going slowly and still around.

I read it and the responses and was glad someone else said it;These guys sound pretty serious about doing Pantheon world firsts. Can't wait to see it.
