I never even played SWG, but am I the only one who wants to punch Smed in the face right now?
Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO
- Thread starter gogojira_sl
- Start date
Ask a single SWG player about NGE and get back to me. Smed is the man in charge. Right?

Oh, shit. This Boogie thing might actually happen. From his Twitter:

I'm attempting to convince @aradune (the father of the MMORPG genre) to grant me an interview for you guys. Help me encourage him, please.
Boogie2988 ?@Boogie2988 8m
I'm trying to convince @Aradune to come talk to me about his days with everquest, vanguard, and his new game too!Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen by Visionary Realms, Inc. Kickstarter.
Boogie2988 ?@Boogie2988 7m
Tweet at @aradune (or reply to this message) if you want to see me interview the man who made everquest
Brad, if you're reading this, you really need to have an honest chat on camera with Boogie. Don't bullshit him. Just talk straight about the past, your philosophy, and some about Pantheon. You'll get a ton of people exposed to you and the game, and anyone with whom that philosophy resonates will be over to Kickstarter with the quickness to pledge.

...SOE took desperate measures to try and save a game that was already bleeding subs. They miscalculated.
It was 8 years ago.

My VG guild did that when they left the game...except they play Offspring, but it was still sad to watch after playing so long with them.

This is what's going on here with Pantheon @Rerolled:
Guess what we are coming out of now? Expect this to repeat again as we get close to the end.
And since its Friday night and we are all being bros, a somewhat tongue-in-cheek FU to all of you super-negative bandwagoneers who went from Brad's online ego/penis pump to putting him at the end of the Rerolled Human Centipede. I know the KS hasn't been great or even good but people here were howling for the KS to start; between potentially knowing something about the announcement of Vanguard closing down and some of the cajoling handjobbery that went on in this thread, they very well might have thought that the extremely lackluster effort they had at the outset would have been enough to carry them through.
Even though you won't find me pining for forced grouping, corpse runs, or death penalties, I really want to see Brad get another chance to make his game. He came through once before in the form of a game that changed many of our lives. Second chances can be in awfully short supply. If Jacobs and Garriott get another go at it, I vote with my dollars for Brad, as EQ was a monster of a D&D campaign setting set out in a 3d world that rocked. Best of luck to you guys, VR.
Also, plate-mail Clerics healing with fuck-off big two-handed hammers? If I wasn't a lifer already, I would be now.

Still waiting for a great Star Wars MMO, so I'd be cool with that. Blow shit up certainly fits Star Wars, bonus points for being able to tear down a wall onto some stormtroopers with Jedi telekinetics.

Isn't Wildstar made by new folks? Not that it interests anyone in this thread as a game, just asking about the devs. Also Anet made their first MMO with GW2 and had split from Blizzard way before WoW so they dont carry that taint, and imo it shows (for good or worse).
What the genre really needs is more companies like CCP. You can argue alot against EVE but it's a great niche game that stays largely true to itself even after many mostly successful years (although it took some occupy jita to keep them on the path).

This will now be a class you can unlock in the game. Overweight drunken vikings rampaging through the game world.
After some of the things I've heard so far that actually seems doable. Americanized Asterix and Obelix inc (Boogie = Obelix)
Lol. Brad should not need any convincing. Sounds like Brad should jump on this ASAP. I agree about being honest about things across the board. Also throw in some tidbit of exclusive "heard it here first." Boogie seems excited to have Brad on. Like I said I don't know him but from what you all say brad should do this ASAP. Perhaps unveil halfling bards.Oh, shit. This Boogie thing might actually happen. From his Twitter:

Ha, it's been said like four times already but he needs to be humble about all this and be genuine with Boogie. It's a good chance to win some respect and treat someone who's apparently a fan with class.
