An ex MMO dev (Brad McQuaid) with delusions of grandeur set up a kickstarter for a new spiritual sucessor to Everquest because his previous attempt (Vanguard) was terrible and closed down.

Everyone in the thread said it would be shit and fail, some were in denial and donated.

It failed but he got some of the cash via direct donations, so with a staff of Christian fundamentalists from his church working part time for free, he got the project off the ground.

Everyone in the thread made fun of their shitty wiki lore, some were in denial and posted feedback on their forums.

He spent the money on medical treatment for his dying wife and then drugs to cope with her illness, managing to speed run death and beat her to it. Out of community donations, the remaining devs started to grift cash from wealthier investors.

Everyone in the thread said that the game was just unity store assets and would never release, some were in denial and said they were just placeholders.

The thread devolved into gifs and people falling over and Mr.Sox appeared, see nonsense above. The company is now rebranding the game to have WoW graphics and a battle royale type mode.

It's clear that the game just a grift to get paychecks for the devs who are now unemployable.

You completely forgot the best and most important thing, the gifs!;

You left out the part where the Christian fundamentalist volunteers left and actually built a real mmo/walking simulator

Im glad you got all of that out. This game being fully funded is a hard time for many people.

I suggest you stay on the porch as Mr Sox directed.

Yeah they are making a battle royale PvPvE side game just to get feedback for the combat, it's nothing to do with scamming more investors and keeping the players who donated happy and unable to sue.

Healthy fully funded games do this all the time!

Pretty kinda of you to imply his drug habit was because of his wife and not because he was a known addict since at least the Vanguard days

Hey now, just because his nickname was Brad McQuaalude doesn't mean all that was true.

Narrator: It was all true.
