Need this stickied!
"I should point out that no other company has shipped out a beta on a disc before this." - Official Mortal Online Lead Community Moderator Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-) |

Don't forget to spread the word, as much campaigning as I've done I still get surprised when someone says they didn't know about this. The more word we get out the better chance this has! |

I am going to throw in 35. If I had five grand to give I definitely would. If they don't reach the kickstart goal, that just means they have to take a little longer with development correct?

Correct, with the money it will shave off about 1 year of development time.

Of course, it looks like Pathfinder will be moving towards a more classic style of fantasy, which is something I always appreciated in the original AD&D 2E. For more complete news, you could visit here http://www.dotmmo.com/pathfinder-online-5837.html, http://www.mmowood.com/pathfinder-online |

It's really too bad that they took this really great cooperative based IP and could only come up with pairing it to yet another forgettable PVP only pure sandbox.

Just like Ultima Online if you look past your fear of death, PvP it's just a small portion of the game.
There's more non-combat features in Ultima Online then all the junk themeparks game in the past 10 years put together, including WoW. I expect PFO will do the same!! See RPG developers get it, Goblin Works gets it, Paizo Publishing gets it... RPG is what they do well and have been for many years. Bringing back the RPG in online gaming is what I expect they will do! "It would be awesome if you could duel your companion. Then you could solo pvp".--Thanes |

Originally posted by Velocinox Sorry, where did you get this "PVP only" info? If you read their description, the game is actually focused on lots of other things aswell. They say they will discourage meaningless PvP and there are large areas that are "safe", meaning most of the PvP you will encounter will be consensual (i.e. you were looking for a fight yourself or took the risk and wandered into non-safe areas). A lot of their ideas sound like EVE online, which in my books is a excellent design standpoint. I actually also pledged yesterday after trying their environment demo and reading further about their design ideas.

Originally posted by BlackUhuru I go back further then UO, and for the record my forum name was mentioned specifically as one of the most passionate and dedicated fans of the game in Raph Koster's final beta address. I also have no fear of PvP, i play Planetside 2 almost obssessively. I was also a developer on one of the most famous sandbox games of all time. However, this is not where the money is. People have tried the world building, sandbox PvP game and it performs anemically in all but a select few cases. There are more concepts that have been ventured lately that show promise of being both financially successful and creatively innovative without having to be a pure themepark railroad to endgame type system. Please don't have a knee jerk reaction that I meant PFO should be WoW2, All I am saying is that there are more colors out there than just black (themepark) and white (sandbox).

Lets hope we get some of that grey in are games. And here's hoping PFO will be the trend setters!
Innovation will come in the form of Indie developers and now is the time to support them more so then ever before. Ryan has talked in length about games like Darkfall, Mortal Online, EVE. He has a very interesting take on the pitfalls of open world PvP sandbox games. His philosophy on gaming is as grey as it gets right now and we as RPG gamers should support that philosophy not shy away from it. "It would be awesome if you could duel your companion. Then you could solo pvp".--Thanes |
