The Krono casino model.

Allow botters to farm plat.

Allow players to RMT plat.

Let botters run rampent sucking all plat out of the economy as the game dies to cash in on virtual pixels. Even have CSR staff actively protect the botters protection racket. Get even more payback from the big botters.

Kasino dies.

Mob devours EQ.

RIP Aradune, it's probably why you were murdered. They couldn't get the blood off the server racks and there was almost 48 hrs of downtime. Thank you for making your last stand.

Everything is virtualized in China now though, so have fun with your *time* chips.

The democrats win in 2028 and European intellectual property law shuts down all hosts and services related to the EQ IP or anything with basically gnolls and elves in it. New businesses can't start up and launch home made indie MMOs without paying off the government and the mob a few billion each. And giving their 1st born children to be turned into slaves on JC's island utopia v2 (the one EP used to inhabit).

Those with great social security credit scores will get subsidized access to the state run and operated Everquest VR.

Covid-19 finally ends after several vaccination attempts fail. Everyone is fearful of not wearing a mask. An entire new social studies opens up around maskless psychosis and trauma.

Circumvention of the governments MMOauthorization Act to play illicit black market MMOS results in positronic transfer of conciousness to the Krasino mines to serve as NPCs for the next gen of botters.
