Hi Mrebs, thanks for the share! I've moved this thread to General Pantheon Discussion.
The News and Announcements category is only for VR staff to post. We leave it open so you can reply to our posts but unfortunately, the way the forums are setup that means you can post threads too.
That's great news. Thank you so much Mrebs.

Oh..that is SOOO funny on so many levels. You'll soon learn why.
Well you can play it in the test releases if you have the spare money. Regardless, you mean live and available to be bought. Well, whether to include Pantheon in the list is down to MMORPG, surely?
There is no time restraint on anticipation. It can be anticipated for 8 minutes, 8 years or 8 decades (thinking about the pyramids in Egypt and the anticipation of the people building them).
Vandraad: Oh..that is SOOO funny on so many levels. You'll soon learn why.
Why put something like this up if you cant or wont expand on it? Serves no purpose except to suggest you know something everyone else doesnt. Until VR say otherwise, I am still engage in a positive way with this project.
Grats VR.
Vandraad wasn't pretending to any insider information - the reference was to Pantheon's history and the length of time it has been anticipated. The point was that our anticipation doesn't really mean anything in terms of whether the game is, or is not, progressing well or getting significantly closer to launch.
Pantheon may or may not be progressing well. Pantheon may or may not be making significant progress towards launch. But standing on lists such as this is of no particular relevance.
Pantheon may be "gaining traction" but it doesn't feel that way to me. I haven't seen anything in a while that isn't rehashing things I've seen before. We got a brand new tool for doing terrain, 'psyche!" now we have a new tool. "We have finished all of the character models, look at them!" 'Psyche!' we have humans done, aren't you excited? "Hey let's do class showcases, this is class-x let's go" (in spongebob show voice) "Two Years Later" Hey let's showcase class-x.
I understand that a lot of the progress can't be shown and I have to admit that I stopped watching the streams (which don't appear to be happening anymore?) earlier this year. But going into 2023 I was pretty hopeful that we would see Alpha this year. Now... I'll be surprised if it is in 2024.

IMO:
Not at all surprising given their target demographic from Feb 2014 to October 2023. (that is, specifically not the current target demographic for 247)
