Pantheon Rise of the Fallen
 

This game really has an old school EQ feel and despite what you've likely heard it's playable and fun, AND will have bunch more content in by December for playing and testing. Hope to see some more of my old EQ players there!

10 more years to go, cant wait to play this

Pantheon kinda died with Brad. It's Joppa's game now, so it's whatever it's become at this point.

Monsters and Memories is the one we wait for.

There will probably be a full blown nuclear war and nuclear winter, and at some point as the dust is settling Pantheon somehow actually releases and it's pretty good! I would accept that reality.

Pantheon: Fall Of The Risen.

From the outside looking in it doesn't feel like EverQuest, it feels more like WoW. Like you know how when you make a mage in WoW, you'll still be using the same frost bolt 60 levels later? That's how Pantheon looks to me. Part of what made EQ cool was getting different lines of spells periodically. Using the same spells your entire career is very WoW-esque.

I hope it's a good game though. I'm so burned out on WoW and don't even know if I'll buy War Within. The last three expacs were a waste of time/money imho.

let's not get crazy here, Pantheon was a clusterfuck from day 1, Brad dying was just the final in a long long line of nails in the coffin.

Followed and tested Pantheon for years. It has some stuff going for it, but I find the combat less than fun. Kind of like the inverse of the old easy to learn, hard to master that made so many games great. Its hard to learn and easy to master because its mostly just rotation spam and knowing what openers you provide for your group.

Feels like they've wasted so much time trying to reinvent the wheel and focus on the less important parts that they forgot what they were doing. Feels too inspired by FFXI as well, which was shit compared to EQ.

Played a laggy Monsters and Memories alpha test and immediately liked it more.

I just wish they would name Monsters and Memories something else so bad.
