Problem is Convo he did abandon the KS site for a over a week. I don't care about what he says they did or didn't do , I care about what he actually is doing. To the public in all appearances he did, and has, given up on the KS. He was incognito for over a week on the actual KS site, and they have been ramping up their own site to get ready for when the KS fails.

That's pretty much the definition of abandoning the KS.
I relayed that message man. Again, is why I didn't bother posting the email:) I didn't think it would fly here.

At this point.. Hopefully they do find some investors. I don't know what circles they run in. But that would be the ideal situation as long as they can make the game they want to make.

Who gives a shit about which was more difficult, WoW has DDO heroics, and EQ had buggy gameplay and mass group coordination. They were both fun games and both were worth being played in their prime. Arguing semantics about which was better is subjective as hell, which makes it pointless to discuss.

The issue people have is EQ is old as balls and very few wanna go backwards through 92 expansions whatever number of levels and 100,000 AA's just to play it again, and WoW has transformed from an MMORPG into a fucking Xbox lobby of a game. Everyone is looking for a new MMORPG, with an actual persistent world that's fun with a solid risk/reward for playing it. Doesn't matter if it's EQ:Next or Pantheon: Rise of the Forums, or an unnamed challenger. Whoever can produce gets our money as the prize.
Booze is making sense here (yea...). We need something new, and Pantheon likely isnt it. I'm gonna hop on the EQN hypetrain, at least they're trying to break way from the status quo. At least until someone comes up with a fantasy version of EVE.

I actually liked many parts of GoD... I guess I'm the outlier masochist that just enjoys death by invis fading.

That wasn't from anything I said.

Eh, take the credit where you get it. But whoever wrote it, I agree with you (too lazy to go look where I messed up the quote).

The thing is Kick-starters should read. We tried to get investors but they didn't think or believe in us/ wanted to change our vision..... thats why were are turning to you to help our dreams come true.

Not the other way round

Honestly, I think this would now be the best situation for them (if they could find real money investors).

The piddly amounts they are going to get in a private site now ,after burning another bridge with some over the KS handling, isn't going to come close to crowd funding a real game. A well run kickstarter could have , Camelot Unchained proved that , but now man , I just don't see people donating the amounts they did to KS to his private site.

I have to add this though.

If you have to come out and make a statement that you haven't abandoned the Kickstarter,

You abandoned the Kickstarter.

Yep. They can see the charts just like everyone else. The big difference here is that there is no 3rd party to protect your money. Donate on their site and you just flushed money away.

I really don't understand why this needs so much funding. Just remake eq with updated world and better grouping system. Graphics don't even need to be better than vanguard. Call it nextquest or something so you don't get sued.

Now we're cooking with gas.

He at least did you what you asked him to and made a post in the kickstarter comments. Sure it's not enough but it's at least something.
The only respect I could have for him in this situation is to tell the truth , say "hey we screwed up the KS and it's in the games best interests to put the majority of our efforts into getting ready for the private funding since it's likely the KS won't make it."

I was giving him shit for abandoning the Kickstarter site,

Showing up and lying isn't exactly something I'm going to applaud him for.

I love Brad, I really do, but I am blown away this is going down exactly like Vanguard minus the $30 million bucks. He's not getting a dime from me until he can show me he has changed.

I don't think he's lying; I've been messaging Brad and Ben about this and posting about it in their new forums(yes I'm one of the 100 or so) and have been given some information that seems to indicate that they are still focused on the kickstarter. We'll see what happens in the next week. If they can post some really cool updates that gives a video tour of a mostly completed city or dungeon and some new tier offerings(every time they revealed new tiers/add ons it has led to a good funding day); it could go a long way in showing that they are still running towards the finish line instead of giving up halfway.

That shit is never going to happen. But its great wishful thinking.

He was absent from the KS for a week when its close to the end of it. He's either lying about not giving up on it or he's beyond fucking stupid , I don't know which is better.

Wait so they have a super secret forum for all the people blindly supporting? Lol
Only if you prove yourself by giving 15/month to show your faith mind you.........

Can someone with Photoshop skills get Brad and Tom with the Scientology church logo up ?
