Show a desire for this kind of game to be made by voting with your dollars, and it will happen. I highly recommend everyone read up on their Kickstarter page as to what this game is all about. It screams classic in every sense of the word.

This is an extremely talented team of developers working on this project, with involvement in the original Everquest, it's expansions, and a multitude of other titles.

If you want games like this to be made, we need to send a clear message that the demand is there. We are the audience they are trying to reach, so let's show them our support.

I did pledge, on day 1 actually. But their team hasn't been inspiring confidence. It seems like it's all designers and idea people, with only one actual developer, which is a very bass-ackwards way to start an indie game. It bleeds money.

I really hope I turn out to be wrong though.

Wow.

How do you think they made Classic Everquest? ...

Apprently, I have lived under a rocked. Backed!

Pantheon is an important project to the MMORPG community, particularly for the people like us who feel most MMO's lately have been 'catering to the masses',and it's essential to the future of the MMORPG industry and out interests as gamers that we take the time to notice projects like this and vote with our dollars by backing their Kickstarter.

There are so many reasons why this project is deserving of your hard earned dollars, but I won't get into a huge list right now. To answer a couple questions above,

- We contacted them after following the project on Kickstarter and hearing some of their interviews

- YES! They absolutely know how important Project 1999 is to the hardcore players. We and people who desire to game like us are the target audience for this game.

- I won't comment on whether or not they play here, but go watch some of their previous interviews to find out if they do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

- The Kickstarter only being about a 1/3 of the way there right now isn't relevant to whether or not they will reach their goal. Many Kickstarters see a huge surge in backers towards the end of a funding run. We're all hoping we can push them closer to their goal by raising awareness and showing you guys this is a big deal.

Pantheon is a big deal. If you're tired of WoW clones or other MMORPG's that cater to the masses, this is your chance to send a clear message that we want different games. Be sure to watch the interview live!

In the MMO Buff twitch video Salim Grant talked about playing here - but it was just like...last week or something, not like they've been playing here for years or anything. I think they just fired it up to check it out a little bit for nostalgia.

You know what's going to happen. They're going to come here and play for a little bit, get hooked, and then just decide that they don't need to make Pantheon after all. All they need is p99. Their own old game will ruin their new one! I guess it's like Medusa looking into a mirror or something...

Personally, I blame all of my life's shortcomings on my p99 addiction. It is a very convenient -- not to mention fun -- excuse for things! Try it if you haven't!

Now, having said all of that, I still may donate to this because it seems very neat and all you lovable dorks seem to be very excited about this.

But I need to know... WILL THERE BE SCORPION MEAT IN PANTHEON?

What about CHEESE?

Because, uh, the people demand cheesy scorpion burgers or something..

Thank you for answering some of my questions. I appreciate it!

I have an idea. As a redditor, I would say we should try to get the fund raiser posted up there and "upvoted" once it is posted. If we organize a posting time and have every project 1999 member who is also a redditor up vote as soon as the post is made, the algorithm for reddit should push the link to the front page. If we can get 100 or so P99 forum users to up vote in the first half an hour or less this should work. If it makes the front page it should get a significant amount of backing, as many redditors are both generous to upstart campaigns and gamers.

good that you posted this.
