The Answer to All of Your P99 Woes

[Mblake81]

Yes, there was a time that I could judge something in the computer world based on money but I think that time is pretty much gone now. I know I don't focus on technology like I once did and when the industry pushed 4k they lost me. Lately I have been playing Kenshi, which took over a decade and its made with a very old engine. So who am I to judge value based on money anymore with this hobby.

I have done my share of Pantheon bashing here. Sorry guys, they are not doing this to me again. I already went through this stuff with Vanguard and EQ2. I have kept an eye on MMORPGs over the years and the trends do not favor something good because of the money invested. When Landmark and Next were announced I gave up on EQ as anything good for me.

Pantheon being the next EQ due to Brad, well.. I have seen this show before. Aside from Brad and a few EQ sound effects.. I mean.. nothing says EQ when I see the streams.

Pantheon, the best game never made! A pure world of imagination.

Also original EQ had a custom sound font for the AWE32/Soundblaster Live! cards. I can't even get any specialized joy like that these days with everything being generic.

Hey you got a potato or pawn shop laptop? come play our game. Next gen

Hey we got rid of the cd drive as well, it looks like an even more generic wal-mart device! woop come play our amazing new games.. that share an engine with a mobile phone! p-p-p-progress!

I know the name of EQ's cover artist, Keith Parkinson. Who is the cover artist for Pantheon? does it have a cover coming.. so cheap so flimsy, faster cheaper faster cheaper faster cheaper.. so we can bring you great bargain deals.. faster cheaper faster cheaper.. come play our games. Faster cheaper faster cheaper but somehow progressively start taking a decade to make.. faster cheaper so we can bring you great games but cost more in marketing than the game.. faster cheaper faster cheaper

This is the model these games seem to use. They then charge something on the side that earns more over time than a monthly fee, like an adult would have for other adults.

I want pantheon to do really well, I want to enjoy the story vicariously

but I do not want to dump hours or $$ of my life into it

I feel like the game took a swing in the wrong direction [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] the backbone is good, but the gameplay is going to shadow wow. There's going to be way to much flare (giant burning swords and pauldrons of floating skulls).

I hope they refrain from the over the top wow antics, but I am sure there will be some. It's more about the core complex play and the culture for me.

If Pantheon happens I'll definitely give it a shot. If it doesn't - p99 will suffice for another year or two at least. Star Citizen Squadron 42 is at the top of my want list thanks to my Wing Commander memories. If that doesn't happen - well, I lived through 2020 (so far) I suspect I'll make it through that. For now feel free to hit me up for 90% on Green or 96% on Blue.

I don't play any games that don't have a 7 figure ante, don't want to end up playing with all the p99 riffraff. but post a link to their RnF, and let people judge for themselves if it with worth their tears.
