I would say have 1 zone for everyone, and if you want to get the kill, be there first buffed and ready to go. No group content should be instances at all. Nothing should be. At all.

It seems like this would be simple, see if you can get some support via Twitch and do some sort of bullshit EQ gaming marathon to fund the Kickstarter...
Talk to some well no gaming youtube personalities here are just a few I could think of off the top of my head who would probably jump at the chance to sit down and talk with Brad about Pantheon, again if this was my Kickstarter I would be reaching out to anyone who might be able to assist me in getting more eyeballs on my Kickstarter. Then again if this was my Kickstarter it wouldn't be posted without having a plan in the first place.

All of these are people who have a decent enough sized following and are gamers through and through, and enjoy MMO's. Honestly, I am sure others here could make suggestions of others who might be a good fit. Maybe Swifty or Athene.

Given Sams apparent gigantic income and his absurd need for approval by the mmo community, he seems like a possible "angel" backer to fund this shit. Granted him being a sex offender could be troublesome.

And can you imagine how much worse it's going to get if Boogie manages to drag in the youtube crowd? 95% of those people are special kinds of morons.

I like no instancing in theory but I feel with modern data mining and shit it might not be possible. Plus you won't have 100 Viable raid targets at first like EQ had in Luclin-PoP

Sadly, they invite these shit storms upon themselves by leaving it up to speculation. Many people have assured me Brad has a solid plan and isn't making it up on the fly so it would seem prudent to at least let his backers know if there is going to be multiple instanced zones or one giant server.
If anything he has vaguely said he doesn't want instances except for the times when he does. I don't know how anyone could misinterpret that.

I already said I bet that fucker could 40 box some donations to this bitch. I think EQ was the glory days for him, and I am sure he idolizes Brad at least as much as some the fanboys here do.

I don't care about limited instancing of raid targets as long as most dungeons are non-instanced and the loot on the contested raid targets is superior.

You're a terrible poster Skanda, you should welcome an influx of other terrible posters.

Holy shit that's gold.
This is actually pretty hilarious and awesome read especially for those from SZ
We need to get Sam Da Man into Pantheon. His 50 boxing pledges could go a long way.
One quote I want to hold Brad to , and I need to go dig it up from this thread , is I believe he said something like 95% open world 5% instanced ( or maybe 90/10).
That needs to be kept.
I'm unfortunately reaching the understanding that while I want those people's money, I don't want them touching this game.

Gonna throw this idea out there, feel free to shit on it:
What if some raid zones had an instance as a kind of gating mechanism. So, say there's a big dragon at the end, but there's no way to actually get there through the non-instance world. So, each raid group has to complete the instanced portion, and then when done, they get put in the non-instanced dragon lair. Since they finished first, they get first shot. There could be some above group loot in the instanced loot, but not as good as the dragon. And the instances would only be available when the dragon was up in his non-instanced lair. Thoughts?

Ahh cool I missed you saying that.
Honestly I feel this KS best shot is some dudes just going nuts for it with massive donations at the end, some peoplereallywant a game like this. Be interesting to see if that proves correct.
So what I said for raids but not with group dungeons. I can live with this. I don't feel it's near as important with non-raid content. But part of me just thinks if done very sparingly and with much thought on how to do it, then very limited instancing could really be a boon.

Good times, met some great players that ended up in Ruin. Taunting with "clearly a Darkenbane victory" after every time we thrashed them was always fun
Dam I really thought he would have been found dead hanging naked in a Singapore hotel by now.
