There are very creative people throughout history that have done amazing things while drugged up so that part doesn't bother me

The technical issues were what killed the game (high end computers couldnt run it smoothly in beta, chunking, etc) - no one who played the beta thought buying it at release would be a good idea - thus no playerbase. Quote:
Here's the start of a bigger rant but... The bigger issue was the rampant nepotism going on at Vanguard - both the hiring of bad managers from the old Verant days to literal nepotism of hiring your uncle/brother/cousin to do something important when he has no business doing it. The whole MMO industry does it and it's a big reason why the same shitty games keep getting released to failure - if you fail as a producer/directory of one big MMO you can just get hired a year later to do the same job at another company (see Matt Firor now making ESO after failing with Warhammer and semi-failing with DAOC expansions). If you suck at your job you shouldn't get another job doing the same thing after failing multiple times, but that's not how the game development industry operates. You know who has done a good job after his predecessor failed and he finally got a chance to be the lead decision maker of an MMO? That guy that remade Final Fantasy 14 from a shitshow to a pretty decent game in less than 3 years. Other companies need to give promising junior guys more chances instead of re-hiring the same failures.

I don't care that he flopped on vanguard. We'll have no games if we got rid of the people who flopped on a game. At least he had one success that should surely command the loyalty of everyone here.

It was plagued by technical problems and business drama. Get rid of that shit and we would have had a real EQ 2. Hoping Pantheon can be it.

I agree that Vanguard at a design and concept level was amazing and definitely the spiritual successor to classic Everquest 1. I think Brad has the best idea of what I want to play in an MMO and I will probably always give him another chance. I am very excited that he is back in the game making business and hopefully he will have enough time and money to make it 100% what he wants without being a slave to big company deadlines.

The Kickstarter has now received over 100k in pledges! Hoping this trend continues and someone even bought one of the 10k pledges last night!
