Are there enough to get this KS to $800k?
Oh absolutely there are enough people to fund this through the roof. They just did a piss poor job of marketing their KS no one will give a fuck.

That niche ABSOLUTELY exists. Those people aren't "wrong" simply because they don't agree with everybody in this thread. The question is whether the niche is large enough to support MMO development. Vanguard predicts the answer is no.
They aren't wrong for wanting something. They are wrong for trusting Brad McQuaid to do any job bigger than shining shoes for a living.

Going into Nostradamus mode here, my prediction is that the Kickstarter funds at $1.1m, Vision(tm)ary Entertainment goes into dark mode for a couple months using the money to develop a demo while they try to get funding from every studio in existence, then around September 2014 they announce that they are unable to continue development and are really, really sorry. I don't even see Perfect World or ncsoft giving them a chance.

It's true that Smed and Brad are (or at least were) friends, and that got Vanguard in the door. Will Smed make the same mistake again? Lets watch!

Umm, is Rerolled where the guys from the FoH message board moved after the debacle?

Your post had better grammar and syntax than most of the posts here. Including mine I can tell you SOE is watching it closely.

I used to read FoH back in the furor days. What debacle? Hit me up with some juicy gossip!

There was no shortage of that, hehe, most of it was lost in the interim between the collapse of FOH and when Draegan rescued the community.

Interesting to see that McQuaid has (already) decided to go with subscription based model for a game that is estimated to launch in 2017.

You can pay more than the tier you sign up for, you just don't get any more rewards. I don't know why anyone would do that but hey, I don't know why anyone would prepay $45 for this, let alone the higher tiers.

Pre-alpha footage, man. Alternatively, they could have also drawn stick figures on lined paper and had the same effect for far less out-of-pocket.

For some reason they decided they needed to show stock Unity Engine screenshots.

Considering they look almost as menacingly bad as the original EQ ones, I'd say it was deliberate and potentially a good idea.

"The Vision" is alive and well, deep in McQuaid's soul.

If this game comes to fruition, it will likely be more fun than TESO. The MOG bar is set that fucking low right now.
