I don't care one bit. The server is not owned by me, it is owned by the the GM team here. They have the right to do what they want and how they want it, and you know what? I fully respect that. More power to them.
All I care about is one simple fact: because of what they've done, we all have the ability to play the best MMO ever released in its best form. Again. For free.
IMO, and this is strictly my opinion so those who disagree don't flame me, I think some of you who are REALLY outspoken against this are entitled and ungrateful and coming from an entirely relativistic moral perspective.
I want to repeat something; this is a game. EQ is a game. Stop treating it like srs bzness. Everyone will have (hopefully) years to get all the pixels they want in Velious. And I wager there will come a time when half of you are, in the same entitled prose, screaming to the high heavens for Luclin to be released, just so there's some "fresh" content.
I'm here to make friends, not enemies. But I have a very difficult time with some of the bitchfesting that is going on over here over what is essentially a nonstarter. The devs have made a decision and are sticking with it. Furthermore, they are within every inch of their rights to do as they see fit. If you really are that unhappy, create your own emu server or go play somewhere else. It's the honest truth.
Of course you can express your disdain over the decision, but that has already been done over and over again. The devs already made their remarks and the decision is final. Case closed.
