You know it would be the perfect ending to have it shut down on the last day for being deemed a scam.

Yeah but I mean just jump back 400-500 pages ago and you'll see the same things here. Even now we still have a few holdout's like shabadu who want Brad inside them, sadly the thread was almost more fun when the dozens of new posters were showing up in all there tranny glory telling us of the 2nd well I guess in this case 3rd coming of he who is Brad.
Oh , I'll fully admit I jumped in the KS the first week , wanting a game like this ,but in the same post I told Brad I was in for the 250 my original pledge was , I think I called him an idiot for releasing the KS in that state and to get on the ball. Serious doubt stayed until it just got to the stupid point where I knew what was coming. Still will admit I didn't see this much of a fubar coming.
I don't get how people can't see the trainwreck this thing has become is is continuing to get worse.

Holy fucking shit, they finally released a business plan, and some reasonable concept art. I might have to eat my words and take back some of the things I said, it looks like they are actually starting to listen. I know it's probably to late but if they had posted this from the start I think they might of pulled the $800k

If you expected Brad and Co. to bring the next MMO, then you deserve all the vitriol. What's that maxim? Those who forget the past, are doomed to repeat it? Yeaaa...
I wanted to see it fail and was quite adamant, because my memory is not that short. Pledging into this was just an idiotic move. You KNEW it going in - that doesn't mean people should be assholes, but I mean...someone has to save you from yourself.

I just hope that some knucklehead controlling a lot of money sees the thread counts here on rerolled... Its unbelievable how much discussion this KS has caused... good and bad. You have to imagine there is money to be made there

From the "From Brad" section on their site... so salty...
"We could have taken the team, the prototype, the design docs, and the concept art to a publisher or an investor, but we decided it made more sense to first bring it directly to you. Hopefully you'll like what you see and find the game's design and focus both compelling and refreshing."
The team? part timing. The prototype? sigh. The design docs? lewhat? Concept art? deviantart ripoffs
compelling? yeah I was compelled to withdraw my donation.
refreshing? nothing about the execution of this project has been refreshing.
I'm angry and sad.

Yea.
A lot of this really is besides the point. The issue is, you guys jumped in with the equivalent of a fucking stick figure on a napkin. Where is the business sense in that?
I mean, I guess part of me understands it. We're desperate for a new MMO and you're willing to ignore some of the more recent shit stains to attempt to even go in the direction you want.
I'm sure most people are aware he cannot deliver this. But it's really discouraging. You need to hold these god damn people accountable. You're willing to fund shit because it's ALL YOU HAVE so we're just going round and round.
How could you encourage such a blatant..well whatever it was. You're giving the message that it's totally ok to just walk in without anything solid. He's almost literally taking a loan out with everyone here funding himand he has shit for collateral, and can't even give you a straight answer on what it's going to.
"I'm going to build a house. Or a house boat. Or just a boat. Or a fucking treehouse. Ehhh, fuck it. Here's this sketch I drew of what I want to build. Yes, that is totally chewbacca on a jetski. That concept is solid, man."

So I signed up to the freebie access on the pantheon site and it's literally posting into the trash bin. The very best part is on every page, and I mean every fucking page, the profile page, the login page, any page you can imagine has a giant fucking shopping cart with addon's to be purchased just flung at you. It is almost amazing as it is sad.
