Then there's no reason for the MMOG subforum anymore - again, that isn't hyperbole. There's nothing left.

I'm sorry I just don't buy the idea that it's this poorly executed idea or nothing at all. Maybe it isn't the old guard who will make the game we want, I would probably be best if we got some fresh blood making an MMO as long as they don't have a background in Marine Biology we might have a shot.
I see no PC Gamer article , that turned out to be good decision to hold back information in a limited time Kickstarter for a 90's game mag website.
How's the KS forum going , about to head over there to check it out , is it even further out of touch with reality than this afternoon ?

Okay, what else is there? There's no probably be better or fresh blood maybes involved. There's nothing. You have EQN, and that's it for the next decade. That's the bottom line. There's no discussing if, ands, buts. If you're holding out hope for a 'surprise hit', that's less likely than this KS coming to fruition.

To be very honest to you guys, I have a bad feeling about this pcgamer interview for whatever reason...

Do not want. My dream game is a little different from most of the folks here. I'm not a fan of raiding, people talk about how balancing for PvP distorts the PvE game, I think balancing for raiding screws up the grouping game.

So much can be left up to interprutation right now with the lack of information. It seems like they just want everyone to imagine it will be they game that they want, when really the actual ideas won't appeal to a lot of people that thought it was going to be the game they wanted. Much like a book vs a movie. Books can be so much better because of all the missing detail that the reader can fill in and imagine for themselves and what one person imagines is different than what another person imagines. So when the KS fails at least people can be lfet with the idea that it was going to be the perfect game for them.
i agree with you. i want to pledge (and probably will) but at the same time i want to see some concrete information on the game, especially the combat. i honestly do want this game to succeed, and not just barely get to $800,000, but to hit that $6.7 million so we can get everything in the game that should be in there at launch. i don't know if that's possible at this juncture, but i'm rooting for it to happen, and quite honestly, everyone here who wants this game should be as well.

Here's your"surprise hit"while it might not have a PC Gamer interview at least they meet the requirements to be listed on Greenlight which is more than Pantheon can say.
assuming he went with PC Gamer bc of his history with them?PC Gamer called McQuaid one of the "Next Game Gods" in its November 2000 issue, believing that he would eventually become one of the industry's most influential game developers.

They aren't doing him any favors right now by failing to publish their article 2 days late(and counting). He would have been better served not doing exclusives with outlets like that and make the kickstarter page the best place to find new exclusive information about the game. Hopefully he's learned that from this debacle and will do that going forward.
Pharmakos, obvious troll is obvious; I don't know why you bother replying to posts like that.

Took a break for a while, watched by Cats roll Texas A&M, and looked around at the posted games/KS sites. I really think Shroud of Avatar did a great job with their KS. Talk about having to deal with an aged audience and bringing everything to current times. I've always cheered Garriott from a distance. EQ and Brad are probably comparable to my first love but Ultima was more like the first kiss. Honestly, the genre will benefit more than anything from the success of Jacobs, Garriott, and Brad. However, i'm not sure if there is enough room for all three to succeed. It is really an overlapping audience but they are somewhat spread out. It appears Shroud of Avatar is not that far away, then CU, and potentially Pantheon.
I'm hoping the PCGamer article does Brad some good. I had some fun today with the Dark Knight stuff but its redeemable but as I stated before, I don't care about names and minor details but I do align these details with the competence and creativity of the team. I have nothing against anything they do, even if I don't like it, but the fact is, (especially looking at the other KS's) we have options.

I'll run a kickstarter if Pantheon fails with some kick ass lore, a video set to Backstreet's Back and more physical swag than you can shake a baseball bat at. You think BB will mind if abuse their copyright?
