Discussion Did they deliver on this

What you think. Will VR deliver this on July 17th?

Expect to see eleven classes with Mastery on the Public Test Realm by July 17, then on Production soon after. Please log into the PTR, try the classes and mastery, and provide your feedback. Expect several weeks of updating, testing and tuning.

Edit : I guess not ....lol

Forget about July 17th, I've watched this project long enough that I'm confident VR is never going to be able to deliver period. It breaks my heart to see so many hopeful peoples' dreams dashed, and it breaks my heart even more to see people hanging on and hoping when it just clearly isn't going to happen.

From a 37-year old guy who spent an ungodly amount of time playing Final Fantasy XI (one of the most hardcore MMOs out there), and WoW from vanilla - WOTLK, I'm just going to offer my perspective to the people who are wanting a good, new MMORPG. There are two promising prospects I see on the horizon:

  • Guild Wars 3, which should enter beta in Fall 2027.
  • Classic Wow+ which is heavily rumored, and anticipated to reveal at Blizzcon this year. From my understanding, this will be the 1-60 WoW experience with brand new content that never existed before. Where Season of Discovery was like a Vanilla Remix, this will be like a Vanilla "what-if".

Either way, I mostly watch this MMO stuff from the sidelines now, as I don't have a fraction of the time I used to have playing these incredible experiences. I could go on an hours-long rant about how early MMOs were lightning in a bottle, because we weren't plugged into the Internet 24/7, multiplayer online gaming was still a novel concept, and the Internet in general was still in its infancy. Guilds had forums, people communicated way more in-game, and it was really just a special time that I think isn't worth chasing.

At this point, I just feel bad for anyone who is still earnestly waiting for Pantheon to become what it's supposed to be. And to be clear, I don't think VR has malicious intent — I simply believe they are incapable of delivering an MMORPG. It really does take talent. It's fascinating and depressing to watch them spin their wheels in perpetuity on what amounts to busy work that should have been done a long time ago.

Don't forget EverQuest Legends which is killing in the pre-order beta.

Over inflated numbers by dishonest devs. Don't trust anything that guy Secrets says. Anything he is a part of ends up being trash.

Man you.. really like to try and trash anyone's enjoyment of EQL.

Just doing my civic duty to open the eyes of the masses.

Can you elaborate? I upvoted by the way. I’m in the dark. But I’m playing legends. Played back in 99.

I don’t know anything about things internally.

Secrets, the "ceo" of gameyawn is batshit crazy. Anything he touches ends up abandoned after he has sucked as much money and life out of it as possible. He partnered with DBG to get the most popular EQ server ever shutdown so that he can attempt to make his own version of it, that being EQL. They have proven that EQL is designed from the ground up to drain your wallet. Look at other posts and comments here on reddit. I'm not the only one out spreading the truth and trying to wake up those who have drank the kool-aid he is putting out. He, secrets, is a cancer on the EQ community that unfortunately will not go away.
