Brad McQuaid posted a rather strange message in the official forum of the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and upset the community.
What does the post say? Brad McQuaid, known in the forum as Aradune, posted a message, starting off by saying he has some time to address questions from the community. He set some ground rules and asked players to send him suggestions for the MMORPG Pantheon as well as questions.
The tone in his message comes off as quite strange and somewhat incoherent. He threatens the community with bans if they do not follow his rules, while at the same time praising them for becoming more mature. The entire post has a peculiar character.
He also wants to recognize the players’ passion in their messages. It somewhat feels like he is asking for more attention for his game.
A post that upset the community
How are the players reacting? The post is not being received positively. While some are actively posting questions and suggestions for the MMORPG, others are very upset.
After five years of development, there is now a call for ideas and suggestions. Moreover, important questions about gameplay are now to be answered. Some believe that this should have happened much earlier, and the development of Pantheon is being questioned. Additionally, some dislike the tone in which the post was written.
In general, some do not understand what Brad McQuaid wants at all. For many in the community, the post is simply incoherent and lacks a real message. The question now is what is going on with the developers.
After Brad McQuaid’s post, some in the community even claim to regret supporting the project, which seems a bit exaggerated. For many, the MMORPG is the great PvE hope, which is why there is such an emotional reaction.
What does the community want? Following Brad McQuaid’s post, there is concern that the developers could get sidetracked. The team should not ask for even more features, but simply finish the MMORPG.
It is now time to show more of Pantheon, the online role-playing game that wants to bring the Everquest principle to our time. Players wish to see progress that shows the MMORPG is on the right track. This year, there has simply been too little.
The post by Brad McQuaid apparently did not help to strengthen the community’s trust – rather the opposite has occurred.
