maybe 5 people, aint no room for a hardcore/classic mmo in today's market. its way too late for that now.

You're stating this on the most hardcore/classic emu server in existence, which has an active player base of 10,000+ players.

And people were saying the same thing that you are about space sims just a few years ago . . . and then Star Citizen happened, and now 750,000 people have pre-ordered that game. A game which is still in alpha.

There's a huge space for a "hardcore" PVE mmo designed for adults (not fucking 8-year-olds) that's not being filled. If EverQuest Returns popped up on Kickstarter as the spiritual successor to the original EverQuest, I would bet serious money that it would fund just like Star Citizen.


P.S. And in case people aren't familiar with Star Citizen, it doesn't get much more hardcore than that in the MMO genre. Game is balls to the wall, perma-death hardcore.
