The frame rate is probably in Unity. Unity allows for real time development/play, but it is slow and choppy in preview mode.

yeah, all 230 of them.
there's really nothing to see here. As you mentioned above, Vu already said that he's just bullshitting.. creating a dungeon for shits and giggles, and most likely not any dungeon that will actually be used since he has no design doc, lore theme, or concept art that he's working from.
not that it's bad to practice, and to have people watch you do it and get excited..
but nothing new
it's a shame that they're having to do this little dance to show backers that the game is in progress, when that's not really the point of the KS... but that's the hole they dug for themselves with their lack of disclosure and proper planning.

I don't want to hate on them, but this doesn't seem like a great idea. "Watch our dungeon guy fuck around in Unity."
I'm a backer and want the game to happen, but not even I really care about seeing that. Not sure how this make anyone on the fence excited, much less those who don't even know about this project.
Load up the AngryBots demo game that comes with Unity. It has way more objects in the scene than this Pantheon level does. I can zip around in the scene editor at 60+ fps.
I'm just stunned there is so little interest in this. Were going to get another 10 wannabe WOW's if people do not support this.
To each his own. I am developing my own game in Unity, and have a 6000x4000 terrain with a wall around it, and it looks like this does in preview mode, but compiles fine. The point is that I certainly wouldn't be worried about frame rate from watching Unity demo level design.

From the Twitch chat on factions and racial relations "An Ogre can't just walk into an area run by Elves unless he's proven himself."
While I like this from a gameplay standpoint, doesn't this not make a whole lot of sense from their lore of every race being from a different world that just happened to collide together? Why would the Elves naturally hate the Ogres if they had never encountered each other before. Maybe I'm missing something.

Problem is it could very well be the same problem with the KS. Not lacking interest in something like this , but lacking interest in the presentation of it.
I can't watch it any more myself and I'm backing it. They seem bored and annoyed to be doing it (which I can understand) , just not the best way to snag a new backer.
I think I'd have more interest in a WoW clone at this point. The most exciting part about this game is the drama surrounding the kickstarter. They haven't shown anything that I'd want to pay for. Yet anyway.
I think there is plenty of interest in an MMO like this, but Brad and this team haven't exactly sold many people on their ability to produce it. This isn't the only not-a-wow-clone MMO being worked on. It's not even the most competent one by a long shot. Check out Project Gorgon. You can go play an alpha concept of it right now. It's awesome. It failed its kickstarter, but that was before they had an actual playable demonstration of their talent to show. I believe they're running another one in March and IMO it is far more deserving of support.

I still want this to succeed very badly, but I can't blame anyone for lacking interest.
These guys came to Kickstarter with almost nothing to show. An idea can only sell so many people.

I thought the deal was this was going to be the future test area for mechanics. I like the look of the dungeon and outside area except for the water.
The problem is, as before, this is the stuff they needed on day one e.g. Hey guys see we have a dungeon with non unity asset mobs already.Yada yada
