will Pantheon be the Death of p99?

[Zorrok]

what Do you guys think, will everyone who loves the classic MMO experience be prone to gravitating towards the latest and greatest from Brad McQuaid?

some peeps are anti subscription fees.
some peeps are here for the nostalgia

how many people have to be interested in p99 to keep this thing running?
if blue looked like red and if red was dead will my p99 account stay in limbo without use and can everyone with a fungi tunic seriously think about letting me keep it warm.

to be honest I do not expect an immediate abandonment of p99.
and to be even more honest i dont know who is keeping this thing running and what it cost but i salute you!

so glad this is here.

and to that i say, Good Day!

Server pop will dip and rise again when everyone realizes brad has produced another glittery turd

In the first week I think the server population will be halved.

After that, most of them will come back.

I appreciate Pantheon and hopes it does well, but I don't know if it will hit that sweet spot like a lot of us think it will.

You deserve a slap in the ass sir, I believe you are 1000% correct[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't think P99 is going to lose many to unreleased vaporware.

Pantheon game play will be unconscionably boring because they are trying to make it difficult and group oriented like EQ, but with modern style. Eq is excruciatingly boring but the art is solid and the rudimentary anesthetic let's us fill in huge swathes with our imagination.

Simply put, game play won't be fun.

Pantheon will probably never be released so I don't think it will have much impact.

Even if it is released though, I don't think it fills the same space as EQ. EQ is a warm blanket, a place we are all familiar with and comfortable. We play it because of nostalgia and because it conjures up echoes of the feelings we had when we played it the first time around, when we had no idea how huge an online world could be.

I hope Pantheon is released and is everything we all hope it will be, but in the meantime I am not getting my hopes up.

I agree with this...part of the "boredom' of EQ is that (like irl) you have plenty of time between doing things to chat, hang out, watch youtube, check email etc...

I couldn't sit at any classic camp for 12 hours if this type of game play wasn't possible.
Sometimes, less is more.

If they wander from this too much then the game will not have the same appeal to me.

I find much of the allure of P99 is that I can play it on my nine year-old laptop.
