Pantheon

[Haynar]

The vision of Pantheon reminded me too much of Vanguard.

They were making it too complicated, trying to make it "cool".

I gave money money knowing full well about his past. It was a pipe dream to begin with. Doesn't mean it shouldn't have been supported.

I think kickstarters for stuff like serious game/etc projects are an abomination.

This apparently never was a serious game project, given that after 8 months what they have to show for today is what a hobby designer can squeeze out of Unity in a week or two. Just milk people a bit more he can retire with a bigger bank.

Lol.

So can we still get xp pots for donating?!

I just listened to an interview from yesterday. Brad thinks he's going to find someone that will give him $12 million to make this game.

[Swish]

Bring Brad onto the P99 staff, make him develop us a legit PvP teams server. It would be good for his resume at this point.

I didn't read it the way most of you did:

I took it to mean that they have taken it as far as they can without a major investor. Nothing more or less.

Personally, I always thought the odds of them leveraging a kickstarter into enough funds, either by direct fund raising or gaining the attention of an investor, for a well-produced MMO was a long shot from the beginning. Any chance this had of success was really hinging on Brad being an industry insider that knows the players and would attract the right attention. This part worked...now he needs money. Anyone know someone with 12 million dollars to risk on an MMO start-up company led by someone that hasn't produced a successful MMO in 15 years? (and yes, I LOVED Vanguard...the few dozen of us who did will watch that game go dark soon too.) Like I said, it was a long shot from the beginning. At worst, it was a long shot designed to hold over a handful of otherwise unemployed and talented Devs between solid employments.

It is interesting that so many folks are suddenly back on the hate Brad bandwagon.

There's no meltdown, he said himself he needs 10-12 million to make the game and they are waiting for an investor. Who thought 150k was going to fund the game?

All this is, is that there are people who wake up every day hoping for a meltdown.
