Brad McQuaid's Pantheon: Rise of the fallen
I don't know how much interest there will be for something like this from you guys or how many of you still check these forums but thought I would post it since it's something I'm interested in precisely because I enjoyed raiding with you guys so much.
Brad McQuaid has begun working on a new MMPORPG called Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. He intends it to be a more hardcore game like old school EverQuest and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. For those of you who you don't know, Brad McQuaid was the lead designer of EverQuest and it's first 3 expansions, Kunark, Velious and Luclin. If you enjoyed that type of content then this is a title to look out for. He has a small team right now but they are dedicated and have lots of experience.
Since the company plans to self publish title in hopes of maintaining creative control of the project so they can stick to the vision; they have launched a kickstarter campaign to secure the first round of funding.
Kickstarter page here:

If you've never heard of kickstarter know that your card will not be charged until the end of the campaign on February 22nd and only if they reach the $800,000 goal(they most likely will reach the goal).
Anyway even though it wont be released until 2017 I'm really excited for this title and hope it gets released. Some of my best gaming memories were made raiding Velious and Luclin with you guys; zones like Temple of Veshan and Vex Thal, bosses like Emperor Ssraeszha and the Avatar of War were lots of fun. This that promises to deliver that kind of content and experience so I'm hoping them will be able to deliver.
Anyway just thought I'd let you guys know about it. |
