I'm sorry, but this looks like ADHD babby's first MMO. OH MAN THIS IS SO COOL AND WE CAN PUT THIS IN AND YEAH THIS IN AND THIS OH MAN THIS IS GONNA BE SO SWEET. Having actually read the whole kickstarter page, this is just dumb. I like how people who pay a lot of money will have what appear to be game breaking advantages. Also, this guy is sitting on 27 million after taxes that he didn't have prior to the lottery win, he can very well foot the 1.1 million bill himself if he is so interested in it.

@Comrade Domovoi. Someone probably said something similar to you to George Lucas when he came up with the idea for A New Hope or Bill Gates for Microsoft. If people like you ruled the world, there would be no creativity, hope or joy in the world.

Indeed. Probably a side-effect of Notch's appearance in the game industry (note, I am not bashing the guy, since he is cool and all and actually did something, so don't take me wrong), who basically improved everyone's view on aspiring nobodies-to-game-designers.

Really, those people over at Joystiq should've read the rewards list and the list of redundancies as well as the update pages, and maybe the comments section.

I find it funny how someone drew paralells between this guy and Gabe "Where the hell is Episode 3" Newell.

Except Notch had already developed and was developing the Wurm Graphic client for years.

indeed.  A large number of us were already fans of Notch or at least already knew he was somewhat capable well before MC came out.

Pardon my French, but what the fuck was Kickstarter thinking when they accepted this?

I mean, I know they were thinking 'holy crap, this guy is a millionaire... maybe it'll work and we'll get monies'.

But seriously, Kickstarter? Seriously?

I'll bet when George Lucas submitted his idea for a movie, it was mostly free of spelling errors.

So, he just posted some 'concept art' on his Kickstarter profile.

Check out those awesome sketches, guys.

I'm pretty sure the universe's RNG picked this guy as the winner of the lottery for the lulz.

So it seems that Mr. Bartlett is a Wiccan. How peculiar.

When making Star Wars, Mr. Lucas had a decade's worth of experience in film making.
When making his first film, Mr. Lucas started out small and concise.

Seems that people defending Mr. Bartlett and citing Newell/Lucas/Notch/Whoever as examples, completely forget that the people in question either already had experience in their chosen medium and/or started out significantly smaller than Bartlett's "Project: Kitchen Sink the MMO".

Cool project though, will be interesting to see just how far this gets before collapsing.

It looks like he paid a 13 year old on deviant art to draw concept art.

Do some of those looks a bit like clumsy renditions of Cloud and Vincent's lovechild?
