I like 'em. I'm interested enough to want to make a character and walk around in that area.

Problem is always engineering. It's the same in the actually industry from what I understand, actual coding and engine manipulation is a pretty difficult skill set--it's been growing as things like Unity become more use friendly but it's still a skill set that's in demand. But hell, I'd work on a game for free if it was during my off season--I sold kits for house rules at the hobby shop all the way through college, I always enjoyed making board games/table tops more than even playing them (And I love playing them).
Actually, IMO, the problem is compelling and original content. You can do a lot of great things with only high level programming in Unity. There's also a large selection of middleware including MMO netcode. The MMO community has already developed server expertise via emulators. The pieces are out there for someone to put together.

Rerolled Kickstarter to buy Unity Engine ($1500) and some assets ($50,000) to make our own game. Anyone here a network and systems engineer? Anyone know how to code in some classes? I wonder if we can make an MMO that is based on max server population of 200.

I always wanted to get to the point where people can make their own MMOs from stock assets like old school MUDs. There's money in that I'm sure of it. I used to build MUDs back in the day. I even built a dragonlance MMO from scratch, I had done the whole world and plenty of zones. I think I build the Tower of Whatever (big paladin area? I can't remember DL very well) and had some cool scripted encounters. Ooooh memories. I think I was 17.

Pyros will design the classes, I will do project management, Lithose will be in charge of.. something. Tuco will bring the donuts and a_skeleton_03 will be in charge of trolling the kickstarter pleding $10,000 and taking it away once a day.

I took it away once. Nice shit posting. Classic Draegan.

I love how you can't manage a forum and yet you are all of a sudden a "Project Manager".

Screens are ok, although if you would of told me they came from Darkfall or Mortal Online instead of Pantheon, I'd probably believe you.

I'm now relying on you Tad,Convo, Gogo etc to follow and sift through the info and decide whether to consider jumping back in. Still want this type of game myself , just back on the other side of the fence because of amateur hour not even describing how it goes.

I will admit , with the KS thread currently making the closed beta Vanguard forum seem reasonable in comparison , it might be worth a pledge just to participate in the alpha forums. I'm fairly sure you could make some of those posters combust by questioning the Vision enough times.

I think we should all do our own kickstarters and see who gets the most with their pitch. Then we go full bore supporting that weiner. I mean winner.

Screen looks more than good enough for an small niche MMO! Yes, those are bought assets, but they are high quality, look at the video from the asset store. I dont have any problem if they would use those assets in the final game.
Same here. This shouldn't even be a criticism, especially since we know they'll add their own touches for branding and marketing purposes later.

I can code, but I'll be better as the gameplay design lead.
