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."

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

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

Nah not good riddance.

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

That would have been better for everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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