Daybreak Games is splitting into three new studios

[Kalamurv]

Holly has been in charge at EQ for a long ass time, she was in charge when ragefire / phini servers came out, and probably for quite some time before that

But she's a woman so we're all doomed.

How much is the Everquest IP worth at this point? If it's less than 1 mill we could probably crowdfund the entire thing.

A few years ago some laid off employee on FoH said that EQ1 brought in like 4 million a year. And in an interview last year Holly said that EQ1 has been increasingly profitable.

Wow I never knew. Okay then, guess that's shelved.

Holly Longdale is one of the coolest people I've had the pleasure of interacting with, and she's 100% on board with the emu community - she's even met with eqmule, the current maintainer of MacroQuest2, in person.

She understands her game needs to evolve to stay afloat and also pander to nostalgia.

She's awesome.

I personally think the Devs have been doing a good job on live, the last expansions have been a load of fun, even if i still hate the cash shop and the abomination that is followers.
