Daybreak sues THJ

[Duik]

Wow. I dont wanna play thj but what a great concept. Also, by all accounts it is well balanced and obviously engaging.
Not for everyone but whatever, prolly could have gone better if no pay to play.

EQ ip owners could easily hire these folk and make a killing. But that dont sound like what a "squeeze the last drop then auction the parts left" kind of company does.

In hind sight (as others have already said) maybe dev time would be better spent creating a new game with those characteristics. And have pay to play elements.
They obviously have programmer chops.

If you read the lawsuit, they want all their code. Something tells me daybreak wants their work[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's fair to want their work when thj wants, and used, daybreak's work in the first place. Fair is fair.

Just make a new game. Why squander your coding talents on a heavily modified version of everquest that in no way resembles actual everquest? Although I'm also skeptical that it takes some kind of coding genius to make thj.

Wasn't there a prior server that allowed class mixing? That person is one of the Does.

Sometimes when it’s that customized it becomes unexpectedly fun. Like the illegal offshore custom classic WoW servers I heard about had options where you’d gain any random class talent at certain level increments like every 5 levels. Which resulted in some randomly monstrous chars like warriors who also had blink and frost nova. I never played it but listening to friend that did the pvp sounded crazy fun

Yeah I can see the appeal, but only because of the interest in everquest. If you don't know the normal EQ classes in the first place it doesn't seem that interesting to combine them. So I can see both sides. Also though it sort of invites the question, is it actually fun or does it just seem fun because it's like everquest cheat mode? When I first learned the doom cheat codes it was like oh my god this rules but then it kind of becomes unfun when you realize oh I'm just cheating at doom.
