Personally, P99 is the only server I like and as they are protected by their legal agreement I'm not too fussed about what happens to the other servers

Not being a doomer, but I bet the lawyers have taken a few good looks at the legal agreement. Anyway, if I were an emulator server not named p99 I'd be a little worried right now. Hell, even being a YouTuber who covers the server isn't safe atm. These guys just peaced out earlier today (https://www.thjdi.cc/) and they were probably the best eq database we've ever had.

All that drama over xp potions and fungus staff. Don't you all look silly now!

So let me ask you guys this. Whats the difference between people "donating" to pantheon rising for xp potions and people who RMT? Seems all the same to me.

If only there was someone who was technically able to do the exact work needed to make a succesful EQ server that people actually enjoy playing...

Many who play free now would migrate to a payed server to but it wouldnt likely be 100% of the subs gained.

Surely there is a compromise to be found somewhere.

Arrh nevermind. Corps need money but hate individuality.
Individuals hate corps but (many) have money.

Aint never happening.
To be clear, i think the hybrid 3 in 1 is a stupid idea but many here seem to like it. Seems odd a company whos sole aim is to make money would ignore something that clearly works.

it's sadly easier to do lay offs and cash grabs to make the books look good so you can sell the pile of zombie companies you have assembled and gutted to the next sucker for profit.

Ive been to this rodeo before when Eve Online was sold to Pearl Abyss
>there have been reports that Pearl Abyss is considering selling CCP Games

hopefully someday the same holding company owns both so i can get cross game login rewards and my lvl 120 necro can pilot my space ship in eve

This trend could be coming to an end for video games. I have a feeling video game industry is on the verge of collapse, and 90% of the people/investors involved with it will go fuck off to AI.

And we can go back to PC gaming being made for gamers, by gamers.

I would highly doubt THJ comes back at all.

Am I taking crazy pills or wouldn’t this be a huge mistake on Daybreak’s part?

THJ was very popular. THJ (or something very similar) is something that Daybreak could release as a custom rules server themselves

Why NOT do it?

Blizzard shutting down the wildly popular private Nostalrius classic server via threat of litigation…then releasing their own classic server immediately after, resulted in millions and millions of profit, and single handedly saved the entire spiraling World of Warcraft game

Their code is probably not setup for easily implementing multiclassing in the sense of THC.

By which I mean to say I think Secrets wrote all that for eq/emu and is a powerful sorcerer irl.

Yeah but there's no way to punish the person who set up the store, if nobody knows who that is.



Makes sense. Without any individual person to target, they have to be able to target the server itself to shut an emulator down.

Youre a genius. Just put a fake name in and they can never find you!

DBG recreating THJ would be like if DBG recreated a P99 Green server by just locking progression and leaving in new world zones.

It's not multiclassing that makes THJ fun, it's how well it's balanced. It's an entirely custom experience. Similar, familiar, feels like EQ.. but plays more like a solo action RPG.

It's more like wow, and even more like Eldon Ring—but with EQ controls.

Custom AA's, custom raids, everything is custom.

Daybreaks version of THJ would just be a shitshow of krono farming, 6 boxers, and totally broken mechanics in every direction... like all TLP live servers!
