KEEN! Had issues with buying game, bank issues not the games fault. However I asked the support a question and got a response within a couple of hours! Rare to see these days so amazing start!

Gotta imagine you’re one of about 3 queries they had that day.

Is there any other game that receives as much attention as Pantheon RotF on MMORPG.com?

Yeah… pretty much all of them. I don’t see Pantheon as having outsized presence on here.

I think it’s going to go up in flames shortly based on my experience but I welcome articles about actual MMORPGs.

I went in game yesterday and it was definitely better than I remember. Still, "mice" are considered an enemy. This nonsense has to stop.

YEARS, "finally" getting into early access, and they're STILL trying to work on basic things like character customization and the first few zones?

Wha??? Why would anyone want to fund this? Especially given the horrendous record of every single kickstarter/EA MMORPG being a complete and utter failure...

Seriously, I'm guessing the ONLY reason they're "finally going to early access" is that people quit buying packs and they want more money. It isn't that the development is farther along or that they've achieved ANY of the things they've set out to do. It's just that they've squandered all their resources so they're going to beg for more until THAT dries up too.

Then we get one of these 2 outcomes when the EA money dries up:

- The project is canceled, or
- They "release" an incomplete piece of garbage that shuts down after a few months

JUST... STOP!

While it has taken years, the game was stopped and restarted and redone several times. I don't feel they planned things out properly. For example, we know they had to redo the skeletons for the various races/npc's as they were different and required different work for everything. We know that there were "hard coded" bits that were time consuming (see link below) and that they eventually changed that.

This all falls under bad management as far as I can see. Perhaps someone in the industry might say otherwise but that's why I think.

I just saw a comment on the official forums showing excitement for the possibility of characters being able to swim on top of water, this *feature* even has a name, “cresting”. Currently if you enter the water you just walk on top of it? And there’s even an Aquatic race?

Further excitement was shown at the prospect that actually submerging may make it into EA.

What the fuck are people smoking!?

Blueliner · November 4

I am ashamed to admit that am one of the suckers that bought in and gave them near $1000 of my money back when Brad was alive. this game looks awful, plays worse and is nothing as advertised from the start. Someone earlier mentioned that EA was a money grab and that is exactly it. Just before EA was announced they floated the idea if we would be open to PAYING more if they were to add housing to the game for us. when that was shot down, they suddenly had the idea they were ready for EA. this is totally a money grab and I am not telling folks not to buy in, but go in with all the information.

I told them straight up that a feature as core as being able to swim (especially when you have an aquatic race and the lore states they live underwater) will be a sticking point for people. And yeah, that's exactly the question I expect the general public to have in regards to what's going on after 10 years.

I would say EA is less of a money grab and more of yet another hail Mary idea they've been kicking around the past year to try and keep this effort from sinking.

Studio is definitely teetering on the brink of oblivion so your words of caution are well founded.

Have you ever tried to actually kill a mouse in real life? They are not for level 1 newbs you know.

I prefer to catch them and walk them to the end of the field near my house and release them, if I am lucky enough to get them before my ninjas, err, I meant cats, do

When you mentioned Ninja cats and releasing the mouse away from the property you reminded me of a visit to my moms about 20 years ago.

Arrived, walked in the door, my mom is home alone and screaming while standing on a chair which up until then i assumed only happens in cartoons.

The THREE ninja Cats are in the living room, one PLAYING with the mouse in the corner, mouse moves gets swatted back, cat knows it wants to catch the mouse but has no idea what to do afterword, this cat got his own BBQ burger patty after all.

One sleeping on her side in the living room oblivious and the other cowering close to the chair mom is on.

So i grabbed an empty box, walked over, mouse almost happily got in the box, walked across the property, into some woods and released.

Guess i would have failed the Pantheon quest, probably have to crush the poor bastards.

Catching a mouse and throwing it outside is just guaranteeing it will die within 24 hours from one of the 10,000 predators surrounding your house. Ranging from stray cats, feral dogs, birds of prey, and snakes.

The way I look at it is that I’m giving it a 2nd chance.

When I let them go I say “ok, this is it, it’s up to you.”

IMO, they have made some choices over the past 2 years that will turned me off. If this didnt feel like a final cash grab before they closed their doors. I would be looking more closely at this. I hope them the best but I dont have time for a project that IMO, looks like its about to close its doors. I hope they prove me wrong.

If they do it will be available for purchase when finished and you can give it a try then.

It came into your house from outside.
Recommend distance is at least 2 miles or they'll return.

How Far Away From Your House Should You Release a Mouse?

The g/f relied on her cat, he did a great job. Apparently even the smell of a cat can put them off from coming into your home and those that did were not long for this world.
