One recent dev stream outlined their excitement to move soon from pre-Alpha to Alpha in the near future.

Personally, I would rather them take their time and release a complete MMO than a half finished product. Seems like they are progressing along fine though.

This. I’ll look forward to playing it if it ever releases.

Luckily Pantheon isn't a matter of if, but when. They've already stated that they have full funding, the money they are getting from pledges is just speeding up their development time. They are not backed by any major publishing houses (EA, Activision, Ubisoft etc.) So There is no deadline or pressure to push the title out early and charge their player base for beta testing for them.

I am very excited for what Pantheon is doing. I am worried though that it won't be able to keep up without appealing to the casual market. Or that it will be a bust because they refuse to do pay to win or a cash market at all.

We all know how we feel about MMOs. We wouldn't be here if we didn't appreciate how hard it should be, but unfortunately there's a big difference between 1,500 and 1.5 million.

Its not just the difficulty, which depending on who you talk its hardcore or so easy. It was the time it was released, playing a fully online world that went on if you were there or not. Meeting all sorts of people. A game world that deep, for the time, and vast. The loot driven mechanic that is lampooned today but was obviously good enough to help spawn a genre that continuously tried to improve upon it with mixed results. There was nothing like it on the market.

As a guy that came from consoles in 99, to getting his first real PC in 2000, the game of EQ was a major step up into something very different than F-Zero and Mario. Computers were not consoles, were not trying to be consoles.

Pantheon has at least 2 more years before it releases. I'm assuming you could do 45-60 before then, so that's your answer from me.

I like how people still think Pantheon will be out in any sort of time frame where the people following it will still care. I quit following MMOs in development a long long time ago because my hopes have been shattered so many times.
