Vanguard's development was a trainwreck and the stories about Brad showing up to work high as balls were hilarious. Can't blame people for enjoying the drama.

There were a lot of rumors about VG and Brad. I bet half of them aren't true or wildly inaccurate. Even if they are true...I bet most of the people who delight in whatever personal problems Brad may have had are not half as successful as the "high as balls" Brad McQuaid. I would also be willing to bet many have their own share of personal problems at least as bad as Brad so have no room to pass judgement.

I get why some would have reservations but the overboard reveling in Brad's problems and delighting in his potential failure makes me think some people must have mental problems or are just sad and pathetic people.

The fact is that even with his issues he created two of the most loved MMOs in gaming history and even when you consider all the issues, those games have been way better than most other MMOs that were released by "competent" and "sober" people who ostensibly have no excuse for sucking.

Will gladly pay every month for this game if they truly aim for the niche that is the p1999 community (even those that dont play p99, but loved the first 3 years of EQ).

Agreed. I have already done the $100 Knight's pledge. It's a pretty good deal (2 copies of the game at release and Alpha access among some other perks). Would rather risk 100 bucks on a Brad McQuaid game than throw good money after bad in some of the cash grab shit shows that try to pass as MMOs these days.

Definition of every Korean MMO with a founder's pack.

definitely want in on the same pledge, hoping it's still available when i can afford to pay for it (life transitions).

EQ is my favorite game perhaps. I logged into Vanguard only to find out it was going offline after a day or two, the game seemed nice and I regret not trying it earlier. Lead me to P99 tho, which is a great server and I would even guess Brad have at least tried it.
Pantheon looks a tad bland tho compared to the magnificent graphics of EQ but Im sure it will improve. Needs more colours atleast, but please not the WoW palette. Wont "pledge" any money upfront but will atleast try and play the game before it shuts down like Vanguard.

Trusting Brad McQuaid to get anything done is like trusting Agatha with heroin and a needle. He'll tell you how he's not gonna fail like before, but in the end- the needle will end up deep in some body part.

Good post. The needle will be in brads ass after many promises.

Agreed. I have already done the $100 Needle pledge. It's a pretty good deal (2 opiates of the game at release and Alpha access among some other perkocets) . Would rather risk 100 bucks on a Brad McQuaid opiate than throw good money after bad in some of the cash grab shit shows that try to pass as MMOs these days.

FTFY.

I am sure you will be very satisfied.

Good thing I'm only interested in buying Brad's games, not engaging in a long term relationship with him.

Some people gettin torqued about the stupidest shit.

Pledged!
