But... but... but surely after I stopped posting to the KS comments and effectively self-banned from the PajamaPantheon site attitudes and optimism skyrocketed since it was just the negativity of me and our agenda here keeping things from seeming so negative!
This right here Convo. Sharing updates isn't going to get you flak dude. Report whatever you like just don't get defensive if people don't grab a magnifying glass to find the silver lining. In six months when these guys finally decide on who orders the pizza just remember most people here wont be giving them a standing ovation.
This has always been a poor argument for the market demand for an EQclassic spiritual successor.
You said yourself, it would be perceived as me wanting to show progress.. Even tho, it all reality, it is progress lol. Anything new, pics, lore, etc.. is progress.. So let's just revisit this in 3 months and see where they're at. but that's what I meant, with a no win situation.This right here Convo. Sharing updates isn't going to get you flak dude.

1. It's been said a million times and it'll be said again, when your player base jumps ship when the next thing comes along, they arent your player base anymore.
This is factually incorrect. There were multiple MMOG releases between EQ's launch and WoW's launch.
The 'average' gamer nowadays plays candy crush on their ipad. Trying to lump everybody who plays any sort of computer game together is absurd. It isn't the 1990s anymore.
After the debacle that was Vanguard, everything surrounding it, inadditionto all the information available about how muchactual work Brad did on EQ? People werestillwilling to throw money at him, evenafterthe Kickstarter had further confirmed all the incompetency rumors. For a group this fanatical, it won't matter. All he has to do is pop in every few weeks, make a vague update about how far along they are, and collect a check. It's essentially the gig he had with Microsoft, but without the oversight.
Basically, these guys are all out of work. Their unemployment benefits probably ran out(or they weren't eligible). So, rather than be without any income, they are now collecting an unemployment check, in the form of crowd-funding. As an added bonus, their resumes don't have to reflect a longer period of unemployment.
Considering they almost all bailed overnight, once something else worth playing came along? Yeah, that's absolutely what I think.
I want to know if anything of significance happens, but don't really want to follow it day by day. Cliffnotes versions to keep us in the loop would definitely be appreciated on my part.
The point is that wow is not the ideals of eq remade, and the sub base left eq for wow and never looked back.
That seems like an overly simply statement. Is it your contention that there all games that are made have a market and all games that aren't made don't have a market?
Man I was so fucking annoyed by the end of that post I totally ignored that last part lol.
Is that from one of their fans or a post from an actual dev? I'd argue that 133k in a few days is nothing since they cannibalized their own Kickstarter to get that amount. I'd look more at the 320k they lost.
Exactly, it was about how brad was the mastermind of exactly nothing beyond "make it 3d" when it came to EQ.
