EQ really just needs to join Brad imo. Hope Daybreak drops the axe on all emus.
it's definitely possible that THJ's RMT lawsuit could bring about the end of all EQ emu's.

EQ is not a cult. A cult holds irrational beliefs about a future reality, and a mythical past, as their main course. A cult does not simply "absorb your time" but in fact just ignores it, denies it has any value, really, by turning you into someone who thinks about fantasy pasts and fantasy futures, to hell with the present, like Trumpism.

EQ is more like a hobby, a really intense hobby. It's like what pickleball is for people who summer. They genuinely identify themselves as, "I am a (pickleball/everquest) player."

Don't be so negative, Cecily. We're all on the same barrel boat.

It's all chaotic good, sister friend.

wait didnt you get kicked out of your last guild on Green for toxic behavior on raids? And then realized no other guild wanted you, so you left?

listen, i agree with you about EQ for the most part. some guilds are like cults - but theres lots of normal, non-toxic players in P99 eq. they just dont post on forums.

also like 10% of each guild is hardcore p99ers that poopsock 16 hour windows and play 6+ hours a day, 7 days a week. the other 90% of the server pop is more casual.

I got kicked for backstabbing an eye of zomm and the current leadership was too much of pussies to fight there's no rule against that. It was a good opportunity to quit. I like how you're like hostile then your tone changes to pseudofriendly but my take away is get fucked cunt. Shut up.

It's a topic I'm I may revisit in its own thread and will try to adequately defend if I feel getting back into this FQ community. It's a hard thing to do, to go to ground zero for a special interest and be critical at all. Let me tell you I have not made a whole lot of feminist friends on Reddit. Far be it from me to criticize EQ. Who am I to suggest it's basically a harmful drug/gambling addiction and a cult? I agree I shouldn't do that.

Private servers shouldn't exist at all imo. The fact people run entire MMO games while the IP holder is still operating is so deeply sketchy. There's been EQ, Lineage II, WoW private servers running for years and all those games still exist. Having a 3rd party make money off your product... seems insane that the whole concept hasn't been brutally shut down yet.

Are you new to the world, not just the internet, in general? Everything and everyone, generally speaking, will fuck you over in this world if you don't CYA. If you dont think so, I could really use your help. I am a rich prince in Africa that needs your help getting access to my money, if you send me some ill pay you back with interest. Once i get my money ill come to America to sell you a Bridge cheap too for helping me out! Since we are such great guys just helping each other in this world.

The people who helped code THJ, i think largely didn't realize what they were going to do with this. Supposedly Secrets had a lot of help with the code base, and she had no idea it would be used in this way. This is a few individuals fucking others over for some cash. Story as old as time.
