@MassivelyOP got their hands on PantheonMMO at PAX and here is what they had to say about it: http://massivelyop.com/2018/04/10/pax-east-2018-hands-on-with-pantheon-rise-of-the-fallen/

I'm really glad they were able to tone down their cynicism once they actually got some real firsthand experience with the game.
In EQ the combat was painfully slow in the newbie levels. By the time you reached 50 the speed (in relation to the amount of combat actions, spells, etc.) was much faster. Some people have mentioned these actions for the current low-level characters feel a bit slow (like Cohh and this writer on the rogue). If the abilities speed up drastically in higher levels like they did EQ, I feel it should be clear knowledge and in the FAQ's. People will accept it as a goal to achieve (like we did in EQ) instead of screaming "too slow, fix it."
TLDR - Inform pace change over time.
