I'm blown away that the people who failed to make EQ Next are kickstarting another game. The project that sold $100 "early access passes" and "allowed" the community to compete in monthly events where they literally designed art assets for use in the main game, for free. The project that went dead quiet for years before being sold to a russian investment firm with ties to the mob, still selling those early access kits all the while. The project that kept selling those kits right up until the day they literally announced it was never coming out. The fact that this isn't a Transverse-level failure is testament to exactly how desperate mmo fans have become.

It's a good sign when you casually drop in one sentence how the AI in your game is so smart it will learn from its mistakes so every encounter will be different every time as unremarkable a bullet point as whether it's tab or free target based combat.

The head of this company, Steven Sharif, made most of his money from MLM Mangosteen sales. The name of the company is Xango LLC. https://twitter.com/stevensharif?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9ygS1k2WQo Then he realized there's way more money selling videos portraying theoretical sandbox MMOs promising all features anyone could want.

This guy is a hustler. Started working when he was 18. Went into real estate at 24, retired at 28 then stared doing this. This doesn't turn me off tbh, he stands to make a lot more from a project being completed than running off with the money. Basically this is another kingdoms of amalur except run by a businessman instead of a guy who got a bunch of money from baseball and it's a MMO from the start rather than being turned into a singleplayer RPG from the beginning.

I'd be surprised if it ends up half as playable as Star Citizen. And yes, I realize exactly what I'm saying.

Not at all, its close to 900k now. Will we have another Star Citizen on our hands here? Truthfully. I hope not, I hope these guys actually make something. They seem much further ahead than Star citizen is with their current spotlight videos

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/68n6rt/ashes_of_creation_a_sandbox_mmo_which_focuses_on/dh0fyqv/ The dude who created the game seems to have ties to Xango, a pretty shady pyramid scheme business. Maybe I'm too conspiratorial about this, but I think this is worth a read guys. Midig fucked around with this message at 15:38 on May 2, 2017 |

Stevefin posted:Not at all, its close to 900k now. Will we have another Star Citizen on our hands here? And Star Citizen has playable portions of the game too. I think they both run into the issue where technology just isn't going to support what they want to do on a large scale. But hey, maybe everything shakes out and we get a fun game. If that happens, then I've got no problem giving them subscription money when it comes out. So it works out for me that all these other people have already backed it. Those stretch goals, while not worldbreaking, do seem at least fairly reasonable for the amount of extra money being tacked on. Not a bunch of extra classes or systems. We get some minigames and fancier mounts. Seems like something they could actually implement.

I really hope I'm wrong on this. My /r/patientgamers bias is probably flooding. I want a good western MMO as much as the next guy.

I meant more in terms of how blatant it is. Give it time though because with a veteran scammer at the helm these guys have potential.
