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.

I've been ripped off by every single person I've trusted with my account in every MMO. Special exception: Eisley. I trust the one who has mine atm more than most, but it's been a troubling trend. For such a toxic person, I don't have the impulse to rip all the gear off people. Why are normal people so evil?

Bro, you know that THJ intends on taking this to court and hired a top tier IP lawyer right? Do you know what the ENTIRE premise of these retards defense is going to be?

"LOOK AT THAT EQEMU COMMUNITY IT HAS EXISTED FOR 15 YEARS AND DBG DID NOTHIGN TO PROTECT THEIR ASSETS FROM THEM"

That is going to be their defense. They did this as a cash grab at the expense of everything.

I don't know that we can speculate on what their defense will be. Could they mention P99? Maybe.

Would that be a good defense? Not at all. DBG negotiated an agreement with P99, which an IP holder is totally allowed to do without waiving their rights to enforce the IP against other infringers.

My best guess? Tribalism, we are nice to the people we know/like. However, we are also quick to "other" someone that is outside our proverbial "tribe". You add in taking the path of least resistance is the most likely path for any living thing and being nice and considerate is a lot harder than being an asshole sociopath. Sprinkle in some online anonymity, and it's a recipe for people who are social rejects to come together to make the 'normies' miserable. A game like EQ just really makes these things easily come together to make a toxic landscape if not moderated heavily.

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 took extremely low-effort prodding on my part to bring out your toxicity. you are a toxic person, clear as day. to say that you "stuck around toxic situations" even though you didnt want to is a fuckin LUL

[Cecily]

Lol I've been found out! I would say selectively toxic.

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.

Mods have run along side of PC gaiming since before Gen Z was born.

This is Gen Z in a nutshell "There is Nigerian prince scams" so that means "everyone is scamming me"

[Cecily]

Yes and mods are not clone of a full product. Don't get me wrong. I've certainly played my fair share of these servers and am grateful they've existed to burn my life years at a time; however, I like the idea of ephemeral things. If there was a 2 or 3 year period of my life that got devoted to playing EQ heavily and then switched to Lineage 2 for a couple years, I think that would be enough MMO addiction for a lifetime. The games would naturally die and people would move on with the memories. Private servers are necromancy and necromancy is reviled for a reason. Let the dead rest in peace.

Why are gen z such a boogie man to you? Btw I'm a baby Gen X'er. Youre like the people who try to demonize everything with "boomer" shit.

Slave revolts are very dangerous.
