AoC does look promising. But I am not paying $100+ to do alpha testing.
I'm a pledged founder for the past 1-2 years. Game has a long way to go but as other comments mentioned is about as close to the classic EverQuest experience as you can find these days (even compared to EQ live today).
Keep in mind you'd still be testing. Lots of things come and go, things change all the time, character wipes (while uncommon) happen. Bugs resurface and hit at the worst times. I took most of the summer off to vacation but in the spring of 2024 there was barely enough content to cover up to level 35. Seems to have grown quite a bit but I wouldn't expect there to be any end game content or raiding or anything like that yet. Jewelry crafting profession was present in some form in PA back in the spring but it is lacking from EA so far. Things like that.
That all being said, as someone who's followed Pantheon for nearly 10 years, they've probably made more progress in the past 1 year than the prior 9 combined. Casual gamers will find more than enough but hardcore not so much.
@Agent_Karyo Same! 😁
