Pantheon - Seems This Might Interest FFXI Fans

The creator of EverQuest starter a KickStarter for his new MMO, Pantheon. At first I was kind of interested, but it wasn't until this post that I became interested.

They plan on bringing back a slower-paced combat to MMOs, utilizing multi-player abilities, like skillchains and such.

Anyone else been following this?

The kickstarter can be found here:

Skill Chains and Sympathetics

Skill chains are a series of super abilities executed in a particular order. These abilities are executed by multiple players. When a skill chain is completed an additional effect fires, this effect is called a sympathetic ability. There is only a certain window of time between each ability activation that the next qualifying one can be. If the player has discovered the chain their ability will light up if they have a qualifying ability letting them know they need to fire that ability next in order to take the chain to the next level.

Chain discovery occurs through experimentation. In order to discover they must try different combinations until they successfully complete the chain. When a chain is initially discovered it is entered into the tome of war. Only through practice can the player unlock the chain, fully gaining its biggest benefit.
