Even if they go bankrupt and all hell breaks loose they would sell their assets via bankruptcy court or another way. I wonder if Blizzard would buy the rights to Everquest.

Expecting more than jibbering, screeching, and shouts of, "fake news!" is where you went wrong here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Everquest IP, most of the worth would be in existing TLP revenues. I can't think that a company would pay much more than a million just for the Everquest name. Developing a modern MMO is super expensive and while could be a thing, it might not be.

A rough estimate of 10k TLP subs would be almost 2 mill annual gross with relatively low operating expenses. Can't see it costing much more than 500k to run those servers

I'd say 10 miliion give or take

C’mon, someone’s gotta be a billionaire in here with all the skilled EC flippers. Someone’s been shorting the market appropriately and making bank....

Unfortunately the EQ franchise isn't worth that much compared to their other franchises that have accumulated a lot more revenue in the past 8ish years. Though that's going to pop soon as H1Z1 is rapidly dying out fast due to the emergence of new generations of battle royales meanwhile PS2's gimmick of large scaled fights is about to get robbed as new server tech is utilized by games like Maverick which will allow 400 players to run around in one instance with no PS2 lag and things like footprints and vehicle trails with stable framerate.

EQ's biggest problem is that SoE/DBG bankrolled on the MMO genre entirely despite glaring issues surfacing a decade ago of waning popularity, it was as foolish of a move as Blockbuster relying on brick and mortar rentals. Norrath should've expanded more into singleplayer games to keep the interest of the world of Norrath into the minds of gamers. That's not happening. EQNext's official trailer couldn't even hit past a million views before it was taken down over a year or two ago following its cancellation. That should give you an idea of just how 'popular' this franchise is overall. And I don't say this with pride either, I've always wanted the franchise to expand and improve itself, but under the leadership of both SoE and DBG, it's gone to rot in a corner completely forgotten outside of hardcore fans.
