Can’t believe I’m actually gonna give this company money to play an unfinished product. I suppose we’re just that desperate for something “new” that gives us that old EQ feel.

Have three or four friends, plus myself, who will be giving this a try on Friday. Thinking we might start in the new Ogre/Dark Myr area. Kinda worried if we don’t start together it might be a hassle to group up early on.

I don’t have particularly high expectations. I know there’s Halnir Cavern, a true dungeon, and then two other over world dungeons in the first three zones. With three new, larger zones, my hope is that there will be at least 2-3 additional overworld dungeons. If we can group up and do some dungeon crawls/camps, farm some named stuff, that’ll be enough for me I think.

Guess we’ll see. We’re rolling on Dark Trade with y’all.

Purchased, made a paladin. Died to a bat. Then died to a rat. Uninstalled and refunded. I've seen roblox games that look better than this dog shit.

lol, i take back my comment about trying it. Early access is 39.99$ That's a big newp for me.

I thought it would be free. No way I am paying that after 15 years of sub-par development. If reviews here are decent I will reconsider.

This is like starting on an empty TLP with zero EQ nostalgia; you're stuck in the past but with no warm fuzzies to keep you going.

Dude, the haters are haters for extremely valid reasons. That doesn't mean people wouldn't be willing to try something and give honest opinions. This entire project was fraught with drama, mismanagement, lack of funding, constant reworks, etc. Pantheon deserves all the criticism they got.


That being said, no way I am paying 40$ for an early access game which may be a piece of trash. For free I would absolutely try and, if it were good, would consider something like 40$ upon release. I may even pay up to 10$ but the value is simply not at 40$ when I have 10 other items on my wishlist all confirmed better for the same price. Trying this would more be to joke around with fellow FoHs dudes.

Yeah, I've talked plenty of shit, but I'm trying to give it an honest shot. Like you alluded to, though, there's so many other things you could spend your time on, particularly with games. I just don't see how someone would start up Pantheon who didn't have a still raging EQ P99 style boner and remain interested. I'm used to being able to play games that have a world that feels lived in and have some element of interesting gameplay.

I am probably just not an MMO guy anymore -- I played the shit out of the Mischief TLP but that was with heavy nostalgia. The last one before that was Guild Wars 2 and before that was again probably just EQ.

The leveling doesn't seem too slow at the moment so I'll still truck along and try to find some groups and/or explore but it was pretty much what I expected.

I gave my review a few (dozen) pages ago.

Its a fan made game using build-a-world tools and purchased assets, but the cheap ones because they don't have much if any money. Its not as good as monsters and memories, At its best it may launch in a position almost as good as embers adrift.

It had basically 1 race (human) with a few sliders adjusted to make an elf and a halfling, and a green/blue human, a total of 3 faces were available, total, for all 4 "races" (halfing was just 1/2 scale elf, which was just skinny human). Now they added ogres for "early access" and doubled the number of zones to 4...Game is atleast 5 years away assuming it doesn't crash and burn and they maintain funding, and in 5 years you'll have a fan made game using bought assets and a generic game world.

Imagine if Utnayan had the follow through to actually make that fan made mmo he tried to start a few years ago and random forum posters all chipped in and designed a game based on thinking we had a clue what would be a good game, using our weekly pizza budget to buy art assets cus none of us were artists. That's what this game is trying to be.

Is it true that armor is nonfunctional currently? Someone on the subreddit is saying armor doesnt mitigate dmg.

When it feels like 1994, but the prices are all 2024. Canadian to US rates are criminal right now.
