Daybreak wants some fan-made logos

Someone do something awesome, quick

Too bad this didn't happen before they shut down Vanguard. That is the only real game they had that still has a lot of potential.

Speaking about a hypothetical world in which someone could launch an EQ Returns Kickstarter,

Brad McQuaid's "hardcore MMO" new IP had 3k backers on Kickstarter who pledged $400k. There are apparently people still interested in a EQ like experience on a modern engine.

You must not know much about Pantheon if you are using that as an example for anything.

quite a fan logo they have there

yeah brad fucked that up royally, but if you think about it the point still stands. If someone did what brad was trying to do, did it the right way and didnt have an addiction to opiates there might be an argument on there being a niche market for a high fantasy hardcore mmo. Im not saying its gonna bring in WoW money, but it could be a good long term investment for the company who can pull it off.

Pantheon's entire awesomeness was Brad.
Pantheon's entire problem was Brad.

Still, just because 4k people gave to a Kickstarter doesn't mean a damn thing. It especially doesn't mean there's enough interest to support a game.

But there was nothing very "hardcore" about classic EQ. Most of the people I played with in 1999 were non-traditional gamers.

I know nothing about Pantheon. My point was about interest in the same-ish genre as P1999.

If P99 had 4k paying subscribers it would be a thriving business.

You go wash your mouth out with soap this instant! We'll have none of that foul, disgusting language around here, do you hear me!
