All the conversations, jokes, comradery -> all lost:

You’re probably thinking of Roy Batty’s final monologue in Blade Runner (1982), delivered by Rutger Hauer as the dying replicant leader. It’s often referred to as the “Tears in Rain” speech:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

[cd288]

Not sure why things unrelated to P99 closing down because someone decided to illegally make money off a company's IP is "worse"

Good riddance IMO

[shovelquest]

Nah not good riddance.

A chance to hand over the keys to DBG and a salary.

That would have been better for everyone.

[Ephirith]

Compared to the monetization structure of DBG/live servers, handing them the keys to THJ would be like handing Jean Luc Picard the keys to a 1978 Ford Pinto when he's got the Enterprise D.

Whatever time Picard wastes driving that Pinto around is just not worth whatever attention he diverts from all the krono whales up there on that enterprise.

DBG knows that the type of classic EQ that draws someone to a place like P99 or perhaps even Quarm is simply incompatible with any sort of monetization structure that would be worthwhile for them to pursue. DBG knows it, and Blizzard knew it, which is why all the classic WoW servers, which were their answer to Nostalrius etc, had all sorts of monetization schemes in addition to the subscription as early as 4 months after launch. And WoW, as a franchise, is an entirely different beast with entirely different calculus vis-a-vis hype levels for the value of a subscription service model.

THJ stepped a bit too far over the line in appealing to and attracting the progression server krono whale type and was making non-negligible money off their IP. It's quite simple.

Also lol @ the Atlas Shrugged histrionics. Roy Batty? Please

[shovelquest]

Well, nost led to blizzard doing their official classic servers and that made them billions.

THJ did pull a bigger audience than the live TLPs, lots of normies and could easily bring what we experience on p99.. to a bigger audience.

Streamers were really starting to get views too, and it was really starting to pick up.

I really think THJ could have hit millions of users. It was just so much of a modern fresh game, but with a true ever quest feel.

We wont ever know now.

[MageBlue]

Nah not good riddance.

You are so right shovel !

Acquihire is what you want if you are a game developer or designer.

The 2 a-holes at THJ were neither. They shit in our sandbox and probably were laughing at us stupid gamers. Then their plan was "der her

I hope those 2 guys on DBG get sued into bankruptcy!

They just like Elon and JP Morgan - vile and predatory.

They *used* Akk who probably thought they just making another red99 clone.

[shovelquest]

idk what to say I'm sorry this is how you see the world through your eyes.

[Reiwa]

The eqemulator discord server closing isn't related to p99?

[Duik]

Reiwa, i dont think they realise the p99 they love is riding on the back of the eqemu works.

Not dismissing RogBogs contributions here at all. Never have. Never would.

Just that if there was no emu server software at all I dont know if the RogBog team could do that part by themselves.

[Duik]

Nah not good riddance.

To be fair, I dont believe DBG are even interested in improving EQ in any way at all. Except to please the transactional board members (who are prolly uninterested in EQ specifically and games in general) so a salaried position was probably not even on the table.

They just wanted to assert their lawful rights as the IP holders. They dont really care about the game as we do.

One YT video i saw jad the guy say DBG could have used the THJ experience as free market research but instead just ignored it and litigated.
A win in front of the board is superior to pleasing us.

No, good riddance to people trying to misappropriate someone's IP and make their own money off it. Glad it got shut down.

well im not trying to figut with you but they did make a lot of money with mishife and and that started a new run of a bunch of highly populated and fun TLPs

Fanbreaker they marketed heavily at the peak of THJ gaining popularity, and they really thought it was going to do well, It didn't. And that's when the lawsuit happened.

And in the lawsuit they blame fang breakers low numbers on THJ.

So they do care, they do want to release fun new servers and do regularly, and will probably do a THJ server in like a year.

THJ (im assuming you played there) had so much unique balancing that they would never get right or understand even.

There was something really magical about (not aporia, the other onei forget his name) just had a full understanding of the "eq feel" that only a few out of 100 eq players really gives a shit about.

[cd288]

ok well fuck you then

Lol someone call the waaambulance for this dude already.

He's so upset that his favorite server got shut down and thinks people should be able to take someone else's intellectual property and make their own money off it (absurd).

[kjs86z2]

get fucked THJ players

[shovelquest]

I thought it was funny when we made fun of lives lucllin models.

I didnt know you guys were serious about being little sad bitches.

[zelld52]

I thought it was funny when we made fun of lives lucllin models.

I didnt know you guys were serious about being little sad bitches.

i take my sad little bitchiness very seriously thank you

[Reiwa]

Does it affect P99 staying open? No.

I always used eqemu website to reset my passwords. Guess Ill find out later.

[zelld52]

I thought it was funny when we made fun of lives lucllin models.

I didnt know you guys were serious about being little sad bitches.

but the sad little bitches are all the THJ fans that are actively censoring anything but positive talk about the guy who ran the server.

clear as day whats going on if youve got half a working brain. THJ wasnt just an emu server it was a cult. wouldnt be surprised if shovelman is drawing up plans to get revenge on DBG

[shovelquest]

Lmao you're such a sad little bitch you invoke "muh freedom of speech"

[kjs86z2]

cripple fight!

[cd288]

Shovel we understand you're upset about your server getting shut down. We get it. We would be upset if P99 got shut down too.

But you're directing your animus at Daybreak and the people commenting in these threads when it should be directed at the people who chose to profit off THJ in blatant violation of IP. If they hadn't done that, THJ could possibly have still been online in some capacity today. Get angry at the people who ran the server, not everyone else.

[shovelquest]

Im not, I was expecting it to. You just dont get.

I don't like you people sullying their good name.

[cd288]

Im not, I was expecting it to. You just dont get.

I don't like you people sullying their good name.

People who take someone else's IP and intentionally profit off of it are not good people and don't have a "good name"

[cd288]

Put it another way: If THJ's work and profiting off of it had taken enough money from Daybreak such that they had to fire their dev team that's currently on EQ, leaving innocent software folks unemployed, would you think that's an okay result?

[zelld52]

Im not, I was expecting it to. You just dont get.

I don't like you people sullying their good name.

the good name of someone who uses another developers code base and creates an LLC to run a for-profit server based on stolen IP, and then does damage control by deleting negative remarks and then asks for the people he grifted into donating to the server to donate money to legal funds. got it.

was bernie madoff a good person who got his name sullied, too?

[shovelquest]

your narrative about it only shows how sick you are in the head.

2 guys put in a huge amount of work to give the EQ community a fun game they always talked about wanting to play.

They slowly got successful.

These two poor nobodies were probably as surprised as anyone about the donations. And they felt like they were doing a good thing for the community.

Then they find out they are just not able to convince their piers about it, let alone a court.

The truth is that you just see the world in a very narrow and dark way.

Yu probably think everyone is out to get you.

You probably think there is an eye watching you in your showerhead.

[shovelquest]

Put it another way: If THJ's work and profiting off of it had taken enough money from Daybreak such that they had to fire their dev team that's currently on EQ, leaving innocent software folks unemployed, would you think that's an okay result?

Yeah, but that DID NOT HAPPEN. And thats what i think is the problem.

You're over Herer talking about fictional what if scenarios.

Well, what could have ALSO happened was they are aquired by DBG and hired 60 devs to work on the most successful EQ server in the last 20 years!

Instead you don't want those people to be hired, you want blood.

[cd288]

Yeah, it didn't happen because Daybreak went and protected its IP to prevent any possibility that it could be misappropriated for profit to the extent that it would damage Daybreak's use of its own IP. It's completely fair that they did this and the fact that you're making them out to be the bad guys is patently absurd since they clearly allow other servers (such as P99) to operate as long as they don't monetize Daybreak's IP. They just shut down two greedy assholes and let everyone else have their fun; seems entirely reasonable to me.

And no...Daybreak doesn't need to "acquire" THJ. Daybreak is a company and is totally within its rights to decide they don't want their IP looking a certain way. I don't want nor not want the THJ guys to be acquired by Daybreak, I don't care either way...but the fact that they didn't acquire them isn't some piece of ammo against Daybreak lol. You're grasping at straws because you're in the wrong.

In any case, these are P99 forums not THJ forums. Maybe you should go talk about this somewhere else. We here on the P99 forums don't care.

[Reiwa]

1. I never said it wasnt fair.

2. I said it would be better buisness to bring them in

3. THJ devs are cool and you make them out to be worse than they are because of lies you tell and fake what if scenarios

If you don't care, shut the fuck up and play your project1999.

[cd288]

If you don't care, shut the fuck up and play your project1999.

Okay, so then how about we both agree to shut the fuck up and you take your THJ whining off these forums? Deal?

[Wakanda]

I don't really see this as a moral thing. To me the people who own the rights to EverQuest now didn't actually create EverQuest and IMHO, ruined it. The fact that EverQuest hasn't evolved at all, and is still more antiquated than MMOs that came out 15 years ago is pretty sad. They can't balance TLPs at all, even though the changes required would be extremely miniscule and simple.

It's why I have zero confidence in EQ 3.

Starting to feel this way about WoW too. All of the people who created WoW and made it a fun game are long gone, and the game is slowly being driven into the ground but blue-haired kids who are younger than the game itself. But simultaneously they will behave smugly as if players have no right to criticize them because they made this game etc. and it's just like... no?

Yeah thats exactly why Id love to see THJ brought into the fold.

There are so many amazing EQ moders out there that seem to really get EQ, and i just don't understand why live doesn't just monitize it and do some robolx shit.

Imagine if you could just log into a live EMU server and play EQ vs Army of Tanks.

[sammoHung]

yeah THJ would be cool if they didn't have a way to buy in game items for real life cash

[Tann]

ITT: a simp for the thj devs is sad he hasn't been finger cuffed by them in weeks and takes his unbridled cult-like rage out on other forum goers.

RIP all the servers going down, all because poor little Aporia wanted extra fuel for his yachts.

[cd288]

Okay, so then how about we both agree to shut the fuck up and you take your THJ whining off these forums? Deal?

Still waiting for Shovel's response

[sammoHung]

Still waiting for Shovel's response

but if he responds, he breaks the agreement. real catch 22 here

[cd288]

but if he responds, he breaks the agreement. real catch 22 here

Lol that was witty

But yeah he's still rambling on with complaints about the shutdown. Maybe he should start up a new THJ forum where he can post all his complaints.

[shovelquest]

I thought you said you were gonna stop whining about this yesterday cd.

[shovelquest]

Haha, you're still here seething, you still haven't comprehended why people who enjoy EQEmu are upset about grifters creating an optimized market strategy to profit from the goodwill given to EQEmu. Amazing.

Nah not good riddance.

A chance to hand over the keys to DBG and a salary.

You don't employ thieves and criminals after they steal and profit from your IP.

Have you not seen "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio?

[shovelquest]

Also Blizzard didn't hire the DOTA creators— (https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1vzugp/serious_is_there_an_official_story_regarding_why/)

—But Valve did, and they made 1 billion dollars with them.

And then Riot cloned Dota, and has completely demolished Blizzard as their competition.

[karekiz]

As for item shop stuff.

The Hidden Forest had donor gear over 15 years ago. IIRC some items up to 60 USD per <Was it CoH orb? I can't recall>.

Great server. Never shut down.

The real issue what in fact that Fangbreaker had competition. And Lost. Be it poor ruleset. Everyone STILL asks for just letting us play Zerker/Beast at launch and they absoultely refuse because "balance" which is silly. Classic EQ was never remotely balanced. Donor gear was just a side thing for lawsuit. Never the reason for it.

[atomicpaul]

Have you not seen "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio?i mean it was a fun movie but i thought it was later proven frank abignale had made some of that shit up

[cd288]

Haven't seen you cease posting about it

[shovelquest]

Yeah like 3 days have gone by that you broke your own deal dork.

[kjs86z2]

shovel is very upset his shitty little THJ server got rekt

[shovelquest]

At least I played there, you're more upset than me and have no life at all!

[Duik]

THJ got rekt?
But that was so the good. And didnt do the anything the wrong.
At least those two nice ladies from THJ will get highly paid jobs at DBG to make this game for official game servers. Cuz like DBG totally listens to its cash cows, erm I mean player base.

[shovelquest]

New reports are coming in that there was a virus in the THJ code and it actually went down from a server crash.

[cd288]

Yeah like 3 days have gone by that you broke your own deal dork.

My deal was we both stop posting about it. When you didn't stop, there was no deal.

If you want to prove me wrong, stop posting about THJ, stop posting in the THJ threads, etc. and see if I post about it attacking you

Seriously!!!

I just have to share this recent exchange from his gluten thread. He had changed the topic from Celiac's to corn subsidies, and I responded with:
Without the subsidies, we wouldn't have (or at least we'd have a lot less) "corn addiction".

The main (though certainly not the only) effect of all those subsidies is to make corn cheaper. People consume cheap things more than they consume expensive things, and so they consume more corn when its price is artificially low.

He responded with three completely nonsensical questions (but only two question marks):
What about when the corn addicts vote for someone to take away their corn subsidies?

Is that illegitimate?

What's the problem.

I was confused:
Huh?

He explained that not only had he stopped talking about people with Celiac's, or people at all ... or even corn subsidies! No, he was worried about the corn itself:
The corn addicts are being provided with corn at a subsidized price.

The majority of all corn addicts vote to end the corn subsidization.

What should happen to the corn?

I tried to answer reasonably, but (like you) I noted that his questions were ... peculiar:
People should eat it, and then not grow so much corn? Same thing that should happen if anyone votes to end the subsidies.

You sure have some odd questions.

But now here's my favorite part of this whole thing ... his response was (essentially) to accuse me of corrupting the conversation, because I couldn't understand his mad ramblings!
This is a popular meme right now.

https://i.imgur.com/3odBLIR.png

How out of touch with reality do you have to be to spend your time asking questions about what happens to hypothetical corn in a hypothetical future scenario ... and then when someone (politely) asks you "WTF?", you telll them that you see them as a political enemy, who is just pretending not to understand your corn fixation (so they can disrupt an oh-so-important Off Topic conversation)!

[Reiwa]

Lol, Reiwa is the type of person who has an inflated view of their own intelligence. They think they are smart and thus they think they are asking these "gotcha" type questions, when in reality everyone is just looking at them like "what????"

Yeah I legitimately think he has some degree of autism or some other disorder. Not intending that as an insult, he just operates that way.

[Reiwa]

Would you like an apology as well?

I can apologize if you insist on it.

That is an insult. And you have zero convictions.

fuckn christ.

[Jimjam]

Cornography really negatively impacts the forum. I think it should be banned. Corngate all over again.

[shovelquest]

I think we should stop talking about THJ on these boards.

There are people that hate THJ players.

There are THJ players here.

That's it, no more opinions on the matter IMO.

[Jimjam]

idk, I just think if MageBlue should make any new threads it should be orientated around posts celebrating p1999 or summat.

That is an insult.

So you're saying being autistic is bad? Sounds like you're the one who is turning autism into an insult.

I don't think being autistic is an insult at all. It's a condition. Doesn't make someone a bad person.

Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion often using a totally irrelevant, but often highly charged attribute of the opponent's character or background.

And for the record, I've been diagnosed with many illnesses in my life (both mental and physical), but never autism. I'm probably somewhere closer to "autistic" on the spectrum than the average person ... but you could say the same about 90% of the people on this forum.

[shovelquest]

yeah thats why I'm like its not cool to dismiss anyone over it.

And for the record, I've been diagnosed with many illnesses in my life (both mental and physical), but never autism. I'm probably somewhere closer to "autistic" on the spectrum than the average person ... but you could say the same about 90% of the people on this forum.

Is this a good time for a “sorry you didn’t get… “? I’m not too fluid in forum memes and social timing.

One things for sure we all dont like the no edit feature Im willing to bet.

We should take a poll, but when shovel and I agree on something you have to figure a lot of other people to do too. Why can't RnF just have like a 1-2 minute edit window?

I don't know if it'd be appropriate, but if you'd posted "sorry you didn't get autism" I would have laughed.

[Jimjam]

I'm sorry I didn't go with my instinct that you would have appreciated the joke!

I'm also sorry we didn't get edit.... surely there should be at least a 30 sec window during the anti spam period?!

I always thought it was some kind of RnF forum ritual, to capture the flames in their purest form.

[shovelquest]

Instead we are too autistic so we just get tree posts.

That was a beautifully composed triplet.

You wouldn't have said it in that context if you didn't mean it to be an insult.

This is pretty funny to me. I said upfront this is not intended as an insult. I said again that I don't find someone being autistic to be an insult. Yet here you are going "no you're wrong you meant it as an insult!!" Lol. I think anyone familiar with me on these forums would know that when I want to insult someone I do it, I don't couch it in pretending like I'm not trying to insult them lol. I would literally just insult them.

yeah thats why I'm like its not cool to dismiss anyone over it.

Yup, I wasn't dismissing him over it. I was explaining to Loramin my opinion as to why he makes such odd/random/nonsensical statements, a lot of the time seemingly totally out of context.

Saying someone says nonsensical things is dismissing him.

Is English your first language, or is it secondary? The reason I ask is because you don't seem to fully grasp the meaning of certain words. If I was "dismissing" anything Reiwa said I wouldn't even read it.

Calling it nonsensical by its very action means his words haven't been dismissed. They were noticed, read, and found to be what they are which is nonsensical and/or a failed attempt to seem witty. Since you were discussing the concept of insulting people above, that would be more along the lines of an insult...just to be clear on what I'm saying/doing.

[Jimjam]

I didn’t find the pun in that one cd288.

[shovelquest]

CD I can’t teach you how not to be ableist but you need to accept the accusation is all tgat matters.

I'm impressed that someone with your low degree of intelligence is able to use certain multi-syllable words. Well done, we can put a gold star on your chart today!

Note that I did not preface the above comment with "I do not mean this as an insult." Figured I should add this for you given your prior confusion.

[shovelquest]

Now who's mad.

[OriginalContentGuy]

Shovel I respect the fact that you have enough time on your hands to impart upon us all with such regularity.

Do you take metamucil for shitposting?

[shovelquest]

I think I just like how it feels like we're all in EC or something and thats where I'd rather be generally.

In my opinion, the classic experience of Everquest is irreplaceable, capturing a sense of adventure and community that modern games often lack. But if we could magically blend the nostalgia of 1999 with today's technology, would that enhance our experience or strip away the very charm that makes it special? What if the struggle and grind we cherish became too easy to navigate?
