They maybe have a greater amount of disposable income, while younger players might not have as much money to spend on something frivolous like a mount. In a free-to-play world, we do rely heavily on people spending money on stuff like this. So in the future we'll need to engage new players to extend the brand, and give it new life with a younger audience. A staggering number of players have passed through EverQuest in the last 20 years, and we still get new ones who have been drawn in by the nostalgia of the classic servers."
Potentially good news for p99 as far as green, but I can't help but wonder what this means for live.

Interesting use of the word 'lure' in this article. Generally a lure isn't meant to be beneficial to the one lured.

That's just coded talk that means "repeated short term income from TLP server launches and cash for in game mechanics is our cash cow". Which is essentially the state of modern gaming in general not just EQ live.
