Is it me or does Pantheon look like crap?

Funny thing is even Amazon is dipping it's toe into the gaming industry. I was quite surprised to hear about New World MMO. In the back of my mind I'm thinking they must have some alternate agenda though, they're using it to gain something other than money.....but what?!

I have backed Camelot Unchained and yes, they are in "Beta1" at the moment, which just means short quick tests. They plan for a Beta2 and Beta3 as well. It's slow coming, but it's definitely progressing and the updates are often. Communication with the development team is definitely not lacking.

How long ago did anyone discuss Pantheon on this thread?

I liked it back in the old days when we were going 'down hill' because Satan introduced us to Dungeons & Dragons.

A game designed for PC and not multi-platform.

I think you misread him. A game from 1999 can look aesthetically good compared to a game from 2015-2020.
Example for two 3d platformers: Sonic Adventure from 1999 aged immediately while Banjo & Kazooie from 1998 still looks aesthetically pleasing for what it was trying to do.
I'll agree that certain parts of Everquest looked bad even from back then. Karana zones are 3x larger than other zones like EC/WC and uses a single 32x32 ground texture to cover the entire zone. There are parts of Krana that look blurry and ugly compared to the more compact zones of EC/WC ect. Even the models, despite having limited and stiff animation and limited faces at the time, they still have a great deal of charm into in them. You want an ugly MMO from back then? Take a look at what Asheron's Call originally looked like.

Yup, and the creator of EQ knew that, which is why he had this vision.

I would take gamplay and content over graphics any day... I would hazard a guess most of us here at P99 would too.
