So they finally tucked tail and said yeah we stole your IP and profited off of us, please don't sue us for 3.5M.

Wonder how much the settlement was for? $1M?
I think it means a suspended judgment and they didn't get attorneys fees.

I enjoyed my short time on THJ.
It wasn't a replacement for EQ, but I like ARPGs and I like EQ and it was a fun combination.

Won't give them any money in advance but would probably check this out, but admittedly a lot of the draw to THJ was the EQ content.

Yeah, the way they like, managed to capture the feel of EQ but make it a different game, is what I hope I feel in this new IP they can sue people for emulating.

I hope I like their new art, i know one of the devs is a fan of the luclin models, so I have lowkey been afraid of them making their own game, but Im going to hold out hope.

It's actually okay to give money to things you like.

I don't think anyone wants the Tolkien estate to go around suing anyone who mentions the word 'elf'.

What?

They settled and will have to pay Daybreak an undisclosed amount. They agree that Daybreak would have been able to prove $3.5M in damages if the trial went through.

But if I wrote a book that became a best seller where Legolas was not just an elf prince but also a hobbit lord, and you could purchase new outfits for Legolas in the story with your own money, without getting consent from the Tolkien estate?

You guys are seriously fuckin dim.
