    VentureBeat Article on Angel Investor

    http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/28/everquest-creator-raises-seed-round-to-build-pantheon-rise-of-the-fallen/

    It was in the FAQ that I did see VR secured an angel investor to provide seed funding for PAntheon and now this article from VentureBeat tells a wee bit more.  Article says they now have 10 playable levels.  Angel Investor if you are reading this - I want to say thank you; I think you will see a good ROI and you are an angel! :)

    That you guys have gotten this far...

     

    When I first donated to Pantheon it was because I saw that Brad had the right attitude to possibly make it work, but I underestimated him.

    I have no idea what an Angel investor is, but, THANK YOU!

     

     

    I cannot wait to log in and play as an Alpha tster and I also look forward to continue supporting this game in any way I can.

     

    Great day!

    Thanks for sharing this Zarriya - Pantheon's development thus far has been a huge rollercoaster ride, but I'm glad it finally seems to be at the crest of the hill ready to make the plunge into great success.  I'll be anxiously awaiting future updates -  nice work development team.

    Thanks so much Angel investor, whoever you are. This is a game that *needs* to be created, and you helped make that happen :)

    Why do I have a suspicion that Unity was the angel investor?

    Does having an investor mean that parts of the game vision will change change to suit the investor's need?

    I believe one of the main goals even while looking for investors has been to retain the core vision.  I also believe that it has been previously stated that there is particular interest in investors who aren't necessarily demanding of change, but are supportive of said vision and implementation.  Could this change?  Certainly, but I don't think that is the goal nor do I believe the team would consciuosly allow for sweeping changes as demanded by an investor.

    This is great news.  Hopefully this will renew everyones spirits and keep the team on the fast track.  Really looking forward to Alpha now!

    It wouldn't be real smart of an investor to invest in something they think needs significant change.
