Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen
 

Edit: New website. They are still trying to make this game after kickstarter didn't reach it's goal.

Looks like Brad McQuaid is trying to remake Everquest. I'd play this!

Stretch goals. After looking at these, they are really trying to remake everquest. Getting a little excited.

They should just raise the initial goal to $4M. It's not going to be much of a game without most of those stretch goals.

yea no pvp is like making half a game :o

Oh I agree completely. It won't feel like Eq without at least 4M worth of that content. I like that they are trying to remake the magic of the first game. We'll see how much money they raise.

There really wasn't much pvp in the first Eq. Was fun when they first started doing some tournaments in Eq back in the day for pvp. Enjoyed dotting everyone up with my necro while running circles.

You always enjoyed doing gay shit like that in PvP

Well UO had it's style of pvp which was amazing. After playing Eq pve for a few years, getting to play some pvp again even if the game wasn't designed for pvp was fun since not pvping in so long of a time. So to answer your question Nuch, yep.

50k in 20 hours. Let's see how this holds up.

Don't think this will reach it's goal. Would be nice to see something new instead of the same exact stuff.

No, I don't think it will either. Kickstarters that fall off their momentum (especially that far before even the initial goal) generally don't regain it.

Not only that, but the game doesn't really look that good, and the MMO market is really crowded, especially with ESO and Wildstar in the near future. A year ago? This probably would have done really well.

I'm not a fan of McQuaid, so I am not all that sad to see this falter.

Looks like they changed the stretch goals

It has not noticeably gone up in three days, they won't make even 400,000 I bet. It's a good concept, but they just got it out too late. Stuff like this (and Brad McQuaid) aren't relevant anymore.

Oh I agree. Would of loved to of seen this 5 years ago. So the game was releasing soon. 2017 is a long time.

Streaming from the view of one of the dev's working on the game atm. Same guy that made Unrest and lots of other zones in Everquest.

For only 2000 backers so far, they have over 250k.

This has picked up a little steam. Just over 300k now with 20 days left.

They are getting others to help out in trying to get them the money for this project. Pulling out all the stops. Even tho they are picking up steam now they are really far off for only 19 days left.

Big fail about this pretty much exact remake of EQ, no necromancer class.

Kickstarter failed. They are trying to raise the money on their own website now.

There didn't seem to be much passion from the developers...followed this a little bit to see if it'd pick up steam but never did. Oh well

Looks like they have their new site up and are rolling out information. They are up to 135k raised so far.

So they hit a wall with funding a few weeks after the new site went up and they stopped development. Then they decided to get people that will work for free to continue. Looks like they have people now to keep it going.

Pantheon returns to 'full development mode'
