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

it really is. sounds great as a project name, but not actual final product.

it hits a very specific target audience, ex-DnD players. all the retro clones have this naming convention. and it's literally wtf early eq was about and based on. kunark is literally based on that one dude's DnD campaign for christ sake.

When they went to the weird cartoon graphics the whole idea of a eq type game died. How many times have they redone the engine or graphics now?

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!

They changed the graphics to look like WoW classic. They can't seem to put a product together after a decade of development. What their goals are seem to change on a whim. Also the fact that they are anti-soloing is going to kill this game. People should be able to solo or group, people dont have hours to wait around for groups to get SOME exp/progression. Should be obvious their head is up their asses and has been for awhile.

Oh god I had to look up the latest. It's fortnight graphics!

lol.

I realize i posted twice in a row on different accounts(lost this one for awhile). Wasn't trying to brigade the thread. But as you can see, the graphics do suck and kills the classic EQ immersion (imo).
Graphics may not make or break a game, but style does, and the video showing this comparison nails it on the head. EQ Style games have a grim world feel while also sharing high fantasy setting and epic adventure. I would say classic EQ stands the test of time despite its dated graphics, because of the art style and tone.

They think going with pastel color book world is going to hold their core audiences attention, they are asking you to eat shit with a smile. Even if they had financial constraints, this has been in development 10 years, and I find it hard to believe that scrapping all that progress to shit on the atmosphere of the world they created was a goal created by people who have a passion for the type of game that the audience crowdfunded initially. I feel bad for any sucker who has been pledging to this game with no tangible reward for 10 years. Maybe the game will be awesome but it will be hard to not pass on it, there is clearly behind the scenes major issues. That's assuming this ever actually releases as a finished product.

Pantheon is ass. Boomers stole your money, again.

Monsters and Memories are doing a better job by the looks of it. The project seems VERY rough for being so close to paid beta test (that’s the truth of it). Progress seems slow but there’s continuous progres and the’re open with the community. Either devs are lazy or far too few but if the community is big enough may turn into something great.

Pantheon however, it’s not even risen from the grave much less any heights.

Reat in shit Pantheon.

I respect what M&M is doing but I also strongly dislike the art style of the game. However they never pretended it was anything else so that already puts it above Pantheon.
