With EQN cancelled, my dream is for Daybreak to buy Pantheon, in whatever awful state it's in and we can repeat the Brad Mcquaid MMO cycle.

I want to be positive about this but I can't. The TL;DW of the video is that it is almost literally identical to Everquest but with graphics about on par with Vanguard. I can imagine thinking that was awesome 5 years ago, but after doing P99 for a couple years I can't imagine wanting that gameplay style ever again.

I am not really sure I understand the motivation for creating the same gameplay mechanics that have been around for 17 years and beaten to death in every lovely MMO. Maybe they're just doing it for nostalgic purposes, or Brad really has a "vision" and won't die happy until it's executed exactly how he wants it to be, and this is his chance.

I'm pretty sure if you don't have positive feelings about a (slightly) more modern EQ, then this game isn't for you. Within the first 10 minutes of the stream, you got to see fizzles, slow mana regen, long cast times, and horribly tedious inventory management. As other posters have said, they certainly understand their market.

That being said, I'm just autistic enough where I'll probably give it a try if it ever comes out and if this was 10 years ago I would probably even pledge.
