Classic EQ fans shit on McQuaid worse than SW original trilogy fans shit on Lucas. Although somehow this thread is missing the obligatory cocaine quip.
Not to get on a soap box or preach stentorian from the mount, but some of the cynicism here is verging on hyperbolic. Even with healthy levels of skepticism, it's evident that alpha is gaining enough momentum. As someone else mentioned, the team has already received the funding needed to complete their vision of the game, so all additional investments, emotional and financial, won't make or break the promise they're striving to keep. The team hasn't hyped Pantheon at all, even when they were seeking an angel investor. In fact, while promoting it, they've consistently pumped the brakes on expectations. That undercuts all arguments that it's just another cash grab. It is slow going, but not Yeahlight slow. It isn't being treated as a hobby, but in the past definitely has had more of an open-ended passion project feel to it, not dissimilar to p99. Graphics overhaul is now in the works. Lore is vastly different from EQ's. If the cynics are right and this is as good as it gets, that isn't much of a victory, being right. Basically it means succumbing to confinement of a single virtual world that is no longer filled with surprises while living in a real world that is equally predictable, at least in terms of what game devs promise and fail to deliver on. The wait between placeholders may be long. There may be a less than 1% chance that the named will pop and have the goods on it. But with Pantheon we don't have to stand at the spawnpoint, hold camp, and stare at the wall. We don't have to tell ourselves, this will be it, the one ultra-rare named that will free us from camp. If the game we've all been waiting for is released, everyone will be rushing to engage it first. Until then, zone out, click the empty space tirelessly, or just enjoy the ambiance that exists in its absence. Atlas? /shrug | ||

I doubt Pantheon's development will survive the gaming crash we are currently wading into.

The amount of fuck, shit, ass and/or hole in your post is impressive though. But if we're criticizing than there were definitely better, more colorful descriptions and sharper insults you could have used to convey how much disdain you have for McQuaid. And now I deserve criticism for being an anal-retentive, masterfully bad debater. Or a shitty fucking asshole. Or something like that. | |||

I'm excited to donate to the Pantheon GoFundMe in hopes for receiving experience potions on P99.

There is a point in this

The only saving grace that Pantheon has going for them is that they're not being paid or driven by a major publishing house. Wasn't Vanguard still under the directive of SoE when it was released?
