The live everquest server really felt like it exists specifically for their ultra long term dedicated audience and not interested in recruiting new players.

I felt like i was intruding on some kind of afterlife cults simulated heaven.
Once Sony sold the company to an obscure foreign investment company and not a major game publisher, the writing was on the wall that the IP would be treated - as someone said in another thread about THJ - like a warehouse product. Something there if you want try it, but not advertised or given much attention outside the faithful leftovers. It did get slightly better once DBG was handed off to a holding company involved in videogames like Enad in 2020, but it's still in the position of being something to squeeze whatever revenue is left of the prexisting fanbase.

For some, evercrack never ended. They never even migrated to eq2. In the 2006 fanfaire dinner, there was one table with eq1 players and all the other tables were eq2 guilds and competitors. EQ2 was a great game up until they eliminated the Avatars.

It was ez to char xfer in eq2, and that is how you stayed in the competitive circuit. Guild falls apart? recruit to a better guild on another server. The top guilds would pay for your transfer back, if they didn't decide to take you.
Actually playing EQ2 off and on upon revisiting it last year after retiring in early 2015 once SoE was sold off. Just doing solo play of ten years of content added to it along with events and messing with house building. This is the type of chit chat is what I usually see sporadically in the last main server that isn't a progression/origins server. Take in past two weeks
