What wait? The population has been going DOWN since the announcement, sweetie. We had been hitting over 1300 lately. Now we're not even going over 1100.

And this trend where "ZOMG SO AND SO IS WORKING ON X GAME, THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING" needs to stop. It's weak and ignorant. Brad McQuaid did not create Everquest. Everquest was created by DOZENS of people I'm sure which 99% of aren't working on Pantheon. And even if they were - even if 100% of the Everquest 1 team was working on Pantheon, that doesn't mean that it will be a true successor to the classic game that we love.

It's not just that, though. There are a lot of reasons that people have for not liking McQuaid - legit reasons. Reasons that I won't get into because I feel like at this point the staff will likely delete any threads that go into Brad's supposedly notorious past. You'll just have to do that research on your own. But please stop giving credit to one person for the hard work of many. This has become a common selling point for so many products these days, and so many people trip right into it.

Lastly, XP potions are not classic nor is buying into Velious early access.
