Let's be real; this is the only reason these games are even up still. Being below 50k subscribers use to be a death sentence for MMOs in the 2000s and very few games can validate the archaic $15 subscription model. Granted, not a big fan that this Legends game will have a subscription model. Should just place it on Steam with a $10-20 price tag and allow people to create their own lobbies.
In fact, they should also get a developer like Beamdog or Aspyr to port over and remaster of the Champions of Norrath and that one mediocre RTS.

One time payment would have been better than subscription model, I agree. If the EQ IP had "died", it would have been carried on by the emulator communities, frankly with greater care and respect for the IP than daybreak usually gives.
I am cautiously pessimistic about the announcement. I don't want the server to be close to a 1 for 1 of THJ because there were design elements of THJ I also did not like. I would want to see what spin and inspiration Secrets and Rogean have on the vision of an EQ solo fantasy server. And frankly, they would have to have a better one than THJ to retain my interest.
