He may have been incompetent and didn't know how to handle Verant/SoE when EQ momentarily got big, but I kneel to you for your take, Smed-sama.

Oh man the comment section is pure lunacy. Crying how people not being able to profit 100k a month off someone else's IP is due to late stage capitalism.
Only under a People's Democratic Republic can we truly find salvation for Everquest!

The right way to handle this would have been to foster the community officially.

The incompotant way to handle it is by suing them into the ground and torch the community.

You and I both agree: That guy doesn't know how to handle EQ and is incompetent.

They didn't win the lawsuit yet they met the standards for an injunction.

Here are the four requirements:

Likelihood of Success on the Merits:
Irreparable Harm:
Balance of Hardships:
Public Interest:

Whether that means it's all over but the crying depends on the Swiss.

Not me. I was rooting against them. I don't like when other people profit off someone else's IP.

Don't give me any of your virtue signaling you make about the p99 agreement, that only existed for less than half of this servers lifetime.

If THJ came to an agreement with DBG then you'd be like, "That's good and fair"

But they couldn't. So you're like this:

And you want ritual sacrifices to be made.

Yeah, but daybreak would never come to an agreement with someone who opened up a marketplace, similar to the Daybreak Shop, where you can buy items in-game on an emulated server.

the very fact that they crossed that line a) painted a huge target on their back and b) lost them a lot of support in the eqemu community

why wouldn't they? It only proves there is huge profits to be made for the 6 boxing krono farming marketplace community that makes up all of live.

Dude...it's pretty clear what's needed to have Daybreak not come after you. The P99 agreement is basically the framework for what Daybreak will allow (look at their negotiations with Quarm, Quarm basically has the same framework about content, expansion, and not-monetizing as P99 does now and is still running).

The ENTIRE community is aware of this. Everyone knows what Daybreak's concerns are with respect to emulated servers. THJ made a CONCIOUS CHOICE to monetize their server and manipulate the IP in ways that go well beyond what everyone knows Daybreak is okay with.

THJ couldn't come to an agreement with Daybreak because the server and its practices were so far beyond what Daybreak is usually willing to allow. Quarm could come to an agreement because content-wise the changes to the IP were relatively minimal, Quarm agreed to remove those changes, and Quarm wasn't monetizing anything.

THJ was never going to be allowed to exist.
