I checked last night and they were at 22%, and now its at 84% - Where do I get to see the sketch? And could we at least get a picture of the poster that the SOE attendees get? Many thanks!

This is what you would call SOE "tooting their own horn."
The number of votes barely went up and all of a sudden we're at 85%. They obviously changed the required votes after realizing the ambitious goal they originally set was almost impossible to achieve, probably because the excitement for more of Gabor's art died down.
So for those of you who any doubt in your minds, this is proof undeniable of SOE fueling the hype-train. They just couldn't bear the sight of the progress bar slowing down as much as it did.
SOE didn't change the requirements. There were 6000 new facebook likes yesterday.
According to Smed it is close to release. End of year at latest will be the release date for this game. I would say maybe even September-October, but would more think a November release is likely.
SoE launches its games within few months from official unveiling.
They did that for EQ2 and PS2
Expect Beta (or better Stress Test) in August, launch in mid September.
On another note......................Facebook is not a popular media to market MMORPGs, that's why the Stretch Goal was so slow.
I really hope EQNext is not integrated with Facebook like ESO...........................
I may not have exactly the right numbers here, but what I remember was at ~13% progress, there were something like 12.5K facebook likes. At that point the thing had been progressing quite slowly for over a day.
Next day, all of a sudden 83% progress. And 14K facebook likes reported now.
So you're telling me that's the explanation? Come on, be real. It was clearly manipulated.
ESO won't be integrated with Facebook anymore, it was announced at PAX East. Facebook changed their EULA and it can't be incorporated into the game like ZOS wanted to.
By not exactly, you mean no where close to the correct numbers. It was at 24% with 8.5k facebook likes, it is now at 14.3k likes.
And yes, it was clearly manipulated with fake facebook likes, but SOE had nothing to do with that.
Ok fine Jeez no need to be mean, I said I didn't remember the numbers didn't I ? Point is something didn't make sense that's for sure. No WAY it could've jumped that much when it was barely moving earlier.
The only body with any stake of advantage in manipulating the numbers is SOE.
..unless you are suggesting some other stakeholder has a vested interest here. The Amish mafia, maybe?
Do you think SOE decided to create a ton of fake facebook accounts?
It was for sure manipulated in some way.
Too bad all of the unlocks are mediocre. =(
I'm pretty sure I, and others, answered that multiple times.
The lack of integrity shown by this manipulation is troubling.
What if a shitty corporate giant created a great game... can I love EQN and hate SOE? Hmmm... I guess I'll soon find out.

Did everyone who is waiting for the black box video actually read what the video is going to be about? It's not anything from the game, that's for August 2nd.
Here's a snippet from everquestnext.com.
