Thanks Wolfshead for writing this article, we appreciate the coverage! Head on over and check it out if you want to read an overview of our first ever Twitch stream.
Great article! It really paints Pantheon and the stream in a great light.
Taken in light of it being in a pre-alpha state what VR has accomplished in a short time is really incredible. I was already pumped for the game but now I am feeling it even moreso and I think that is true of the entire community!
Really cant wait to begin testing this game once it gets to an alpha state!
We've found the true successor to EQ/Vanguard and now it just needs time to grow.
The article was great. The author was right when they said the best bits of the stream were when the group wiped. I think a lot of people were worried that it would be too easy and seeing the developers wipe because of a train was a great unscripted addition to the game play. I'm looking forward to more Twitch streams now. Hopefully you'll be able to do at least one more before we enter pre-alpha just to keep people engaged.
Great article. Some people who have NO IDEA what Pre-Alpha means are like the guy who posted first on wolfsheds article. So many things are NOT done to put any kind of judgement on combat is moronic. No Animation passes NO graphic pass's, even collision pass's and balancing pass's are so far from being done and tuned to perfection. Yet, what I saw the other day was a game that holds within it a hand filled with nastalgia and another filled with new and bright ideas.
If Pantheon can capture the Aura that EQ had it will be a smashing success.

The comment about needing 5 people to kill 1 orc made me want to vomit. Clearly someone does not "get it".
As more outsiders witness Pantheon, there will be an influx of negativity directly attacking the Pantheon Difference core values. Keep in mind, there are many more "newer" players that don't get it than there are the targeted audience. This will get worse as Pantheon progresses and the word gets out.
As Brad said a few times over, there are enough of us out there to support the game we really want, which comes down to the core values. VR would not risk their future if this were not the case. All the others can go play the next hottest, early release like BDO and whatever follows after...
Anyone directing any negativity towards Pantheon after seeing that video is plain ignorant... unless you are complaining about Monty's mishaps, I wouldn't bother to nay-say VRi. This game sits on an incredible foundation and is more solid and stable than I have ever seen in a pre-alpha build.
Kudos to Visionary Realms..
Good article. I see some people still dont get it do they? We expect to be lazy now? is this what mmorpg have become? Ports to so and so, spend 5 minutes tearing down a boss mob...I do not want to play rust, ark, mindcraft type games anymore, they are dull and boring. The only good thing i enjoyed was scripting arma 3. It was fun getting your server working perfectly, but it also gets boring to play, everything is about admin tools these days to teleport you to xyz, spawn loot to win win easy mode.
I want a hardcore mmo again, please give us that!!! lol
and that article hit it on. I felt the exact same way, seeing it the first, and second time. It was a well played moment for the team. Social aspects are going places once again.
Thank you
