The only way p99 dies is when the servers get shut down. People that play p99 are chasing a feeling of the past. Its like heroin first time is the best then you keep on chasing it till you die or realize you are never gonna get that high again and quit till you relapse.

I did the knight's pledge as well. looking forward to checking it out. Might suck, might not. Even if it works out it will be a niche game, since you don't get to buy success and can't make max level in an afternoon (I hope).

I have been following Pantheon, due to it's obvious ties to Classic Everquest. It has a lot of great ideas and following, but I can't help but question that they are going to continue to be able to maintain financing it's development until it's release in 2025 or whenever, or if enough people will even care by then.

I bought a new computer and pinned my MMO hopes and dreams to Pantheon. Hoping they don’t fail me.

I guess I don't know anything about game development but I'd be curious how this shit works because realistically it's not like Pantheon is going to be getting 100k subs for multiple years.

http://www.pantheonmmo.com/about_us/the_team/ that's a lot of salary to pay for multiple years.

It is a niche-MMO with a limited but rabid group of followers. If they can draw some of the players from some of the "hand-holding" MMOs, without alienating their target audience. I think that it could be a success, I am just worried about their timeline, as it seems like it is still several years away from release.

I would also make a very self-serving assumption that successful EQ players are probably at least marginally more intelligent than the general population.
