I think people are putting far too much faith in Pantheon. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited and I want so very much for it to live up to the promises. However, let's be honest. It is going to be modernized, it will go F2P within a year, and it will almost certainly get sold to Tencent and end up just another husk of a game wrapped around a cash shop.
Maybe I am just too old, jaded and cynical, but I am over getting hyped about the promises of another EQ-like experience. Our time has come and gone. It was a good ride while it lasted, but the world is just too different for what Pantheon promises to deliver. I would love to be wrong, I HOPE that I am I wrong, but I would bet cash money that I'm not.
