And there is no bazaar on Quarm.

Quarm legitimately has 1.5k+ players, with Lguk, Uguk, mistmoore, unrest full of groups. 5 groups in velks etc.

Blue/Green players are just so...I'm not sure the term, maybe acclimated? to their server being a piece of shit because of the CSR and rules; that they think every other server is also shit? Quarm has everything every casual ever wanted, and is the perfect timesink for every competitive player who is sick of p99's failed system until something changes.
If P99 is so shitty why are you still posting here?

Pretty sad and embarrassing IMO that you think this server is such crap now, yet here you are posting on its forums of all places lol

Hopefully THJ wins soon. Saw it coming but probably not gonna affect it much
THJ is 100% fully done. I can't imagine any settlement deal that would allow them to operate. Even THJ agreeing to give them 100% of any donations probably doesn't work, because you can't account for how much money a THJ player may have theoretically spent had they played on a TLP.

I would highly doubt THJ comes back at all.

Yeah, I’m not sure. Who is the parent corporation that owns daybreak did they not own daybreak when that agreement was made I don’t know the whole relationship drama with this ridiculous IP.

Eq should be public domain.

DnD sues players. Eq sues players.

Wtf are we doing here?

American copyright laws were basically written by Disney, and as a result they're obscene.

In a rational world, everything would enter the public domain twenty years from the first copyright date. Twenty years is plenty of time for someone to make money off their creation.

The point of copyright is to protect artists’ interests. As American copyright laws completely fail to do this, and really harm artists, they can be ignored in any instance where the laws are unlikely or unable to be enforced.

Yeah, I'm not trying to change the american political and economic system, I don't agree with that statement at all.

But EQ is for nerds, and should be run by nerds, not some investment conglomerate.

There's a H(Y)UGE difference between "the gaming world" and the "real world" here in my argument.

I am sorry, to be clear I think jesus should come, slay all the people who don't understand my argument, and then we can live in peace without lawsuits and copywrite law all together.

Personally, P99 is the only server I like and as they are protected by their legal agreement I'm not too fussed about what happens to the other servers
