Unwritten rules are unwritten because they’re not rules.

Also fuck all the THJ fanboys. I know none of them are here - but they haven't played EQ other than TLPs - they find out for the first time about EQEmulator because of THJ - they come in and spend hundreds of real-life dollars over 6 months on pay-to-win microtransactions, and then all the fuckwad moderators of their discord and subreddits go on damage control and delete negative commentary on the situation.

Goddamnit,

EDIT: They haven't played EQ since 2002 on anything but TLPs, and had no idea about EQEmu until THJ came along.

Then they fuckin ruin the whole thing. Fuck the lot of them.

It means that you'd both like to talk to the THJ management.

It has been an unwritten rule on EQEmu for over a decade - don't fucking monetize. For the sake of the community as a whole, everybody (except a few rogue admins) abided by this.

But these fuckin pricks, Takahashi and Alexander decided to turn running an emulated server into a career. They were probably over the moons and so proud of themselves for turning a HUGE profit on an emu.

Despite warnings from other devs and admins: they pushed forward and ON TOP OF THAT tried to play coy, feign innocence and ignorance, and go toe-to-toe with a legal team that SPECIALIZES IN IP THEFT.

As a result, the entire EQEmu community, which has existed mostly peacefully and left alone for 15+ years has been shaken up. Servers that people have played on for 10+ years are shut down. The communities they gathered in are shut down.

We are insulated here on p99 - but the fallout from this shit is crazy. Imagine waking up tomorrow and Rogaen announces that at midnight, he's closing the Discord, Forums, eqemulator.org, and shutting down all P99 servers. On top of that, the reddit mobs at /r/Project1999 decide to permanently shut the sub down.

Now there would be droves of p99 players that called this community and have NO WHERE to go to continue that community connection, except for guild discords.

That is what happened yesterday, for Project EQ, EZ Server, and a half-dozen other EQEmu's that were playing by the unwritten rules of DO NOT TRY TO MAKE A PROFIT ON EQEMU.
Mostly peaceful IP theft. It's not like they became so emboldened in a vacuum.

First they came for THJ, and I not only kept quiet, I supported them-ACK!

Told you guys in the THJ thread that EQemu itself was going to be the eventual target of the now awakened sleeping giant. Akkadius just sees the writing on the wall.

One thing's for sure we're all going to want to box on live when this all is settled.
