Every video of gameplay that I've seen makes it look rather sub-par for the MMO industry at present. I thought it looked a lot like EverQuest I and II, which are many years old now. I didn't back the kickstarter mostly 'cuz it wasn't going to use any actual Pathfinder rules, since OGL doesn't give them the right to use the 3.5 rules for a computer game. I know many who backed it just for the PFRPG rewards available like The Emerald Spire, Thornkeep, etc. They couldn't really care less about playing an MMO. So, in a sense, all those rewards generated funds and interest, but it wasn't as much interest from people who would actually play the game. I think that maybe sent a misleading message about the level of interest in the game. |

Software is horribly hard to write. These guys were babes in the woods. You need a good team for core development, then you need a good plan that suits the players. There could be more than a few issues with doing this for a Pathfinder audience. To my eyes, it would be wiser to reskin an existing game. A new project like this is starting $1 million to $2 million in NRE. If the market doesn't materialize, its financial ruin. |
