Is beta this year or next?
EverQuest (the awesomeness that was) was a product of its time, and the talented group they assembled to make it. Also of course I'm referring to 1999-2001 (ish) EQ.Believe in Brad!
However, he did have a well publicized melt down of epic proportions and from what certain sources have said used some of the initial funding to pay off debts and push white powder up his nose.
If he gets anywhere close to Everquest though, I will be over the moon!
Yeah the last thing we need is another button-masher.Its supposed to be slow like that, its trying to recapture those MMOs you mention of 20 years ago. That's the sort of MMO that the market is missing these days, thankfully there are literally dozens of MMOs of the more modern style that people looking for that sort of thing can play and eventually when Pantheon is released there will finally be one that plays like an MMO from the golden age of MMOs (1997-2005ish) again without us having to resort to playing on things like p1999

Was it Brad? Was it Smed? Was it the Team?
We've since had Vanguard from Brad, and that was a crock of crap.
Expectations are low, frankly.
Good to hearI've been in Pre-Alpha for the last 18 months, so my expectations are high
Does Pantheon support casual play (not encourage it, necessarily) and people who want to dive in for a couple hours at a time? With no expectation that they would be at the cutting edge or the best equipped, etc.
You didn't just run up to a "quest giver" and "get a quest". You might have to wait in an area for two NPCs to be present at the same time, and they would start a conversation with or without you. The conversation would hint at some key words that they (or some other NPC) might respond to.
Sounds promising.That, I would say, is the most applicable way to phrase it. You can solo and do casual play, it will be tougher and slower of course and you wont be winning any awards for the quality of your equipment or able to do all of the content but its possible to do as long as you accept those limitations.
You will be pleased then
Just found out Brad died last year!Hadnt checked on this in a while, didnt even know about brad mcquaid, apparently they are still going ahead with it, latest video from cohh in december:

Came back here because don't recall there being any mention of it.
Wonder what that means for Pantheon, then...?
yea like elder scrolls online.Exactly, most MMORPG's these days are just hack & slash button mash, steam roll through as quick as possible, the Pantheon combat play style closely represents that of Everquest, where you have to really work together as a team to take down groups of mobs, each class counts. It may look boring but it's actually both engaging and rewarding, Also during combat and down time people actually talk to each other. It creates social and challenging game play.
games used to have a sense of danger, you would pretty much be scared to leave the road and they weren't always safe either.
elder scrolls online has the most boring combat of any mmo I ever playedTempted about elder scrolls however the art style and horrible races puts me off.
Dwarf, elf, human, halfling, half elf.
Anything else is a trash mob that deserves to be slaughtered endless times.

Is this still vapourware? Any new?
Release date 2025?
