Columbus Nova And Daybreak Games

[Calibretto]

I played both EQ1 and Eq2 simultaneously and raided on both of those games at a fairly hardcore pace. Having said that, I think they fired the right people and I also think that smed should be bounced as well. He's been shitting up every franchise for about 5 years now. (probably longer)

Jeff was the one that surprised me, as far as EQN goes. The rumor mill was wrong on his future with the company. I wonder if he'll land with Brad again over at Pantheon.

As for people mentioning Smed.. don't hold your breath on him getting the axe.

Isn't Brad and Co broke and making their next game via volunteers from the community?

Yeah, but if Brad and Jeff smell the opportunity to make Pantheon and sell it off to Daybreak I'm sure that'll seem appealing enough to give it a shot. It worked once.

It's not looking too bad at the moment (this from November)

Is the game looking like a worthy successor to eq? Should we be excited about this?

I am trusting you on this call Swish

I liked how the chat log in this video is a straight out of EQ, like, the same colors and everything. Plus if you look closely you can see that the player is casting Spirit of the Wolf on himself at 1:53 or so.

This did more to pique my interest than the lion king: underground.

Smed's future is all about stuff we don't necessarily know about. Canning the CEO in the first swoop cuts the knees out of the company's confidence and threatens the perception and trust of the company from the outside.

He has to produce at some point. I'm sure that he has been given some directives and he will have to make good on them in the time frame that was dictated. If he doesn't or can't he will be on the block sooner or later.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go at this point. I tend to think he has done, at best, a mediocre job in his leadership and direction he takes the company. I think he has settled for aiming small and missing small. His EQN leadership is less than impressive from the outside looking in.

We have been watching Pantheon with interest also, hubby has donated hes that keen. Looking forward to seeing how this one pans out.

This gets me excited as a successor to EQ.

I loved what EQN looked like at first, but giving the EQ franchise lately I am not hopeful this pantheon looks good though! **starts frantically Googling the game**
