What happens when all the live refugees start landing in our newbie zones

They remember what classic was like and promptly quit?

The GM's will have to work overtime banning a large majority of them for RMT because majority of live is just krono farming trash anyway

Some article highlights...

• Feldon of EQWire reports anonymous sources quoting up to 100 people let go. (One of our sources believes it’s closer to 70)
• government sanctions
• The company does not address the abrupt departure of its former VP/Chief Publishing Officer yesterday morning. It also does not explain why it represented to its customers and the media that Columbus Nova had acquired it for the last three years, nor why it waited until April 2018 to correct the record.
• Daybreak has now confirmed the layoffs.
• A Daybreak spokesperson has confirmed that the layoffs were not isolated to one studio (as speculation is currently running). According to the spokesperson, all of Daybreak’s studios were affected, but none of the games will be – that includes H1Z1, whose PC development and recently announced PS4 port is still scheduled to continue.
• The PlanetSide 2 team says on Reddit that it has been unaffected by the layoffs.
• We’ve been told that most or all of the Just Survive team was let go and the game is unlikely to see updates in the future – this apparently per developers on Discord.

Planetside 2's microtransactions ruined it anyway. H1Z1 is a dead IP at this point anyway with PUBG/Fortnite around. I don't see them being able to continue without selling some IPs off lol.

Maybe another EQ progression server will attract enough P2W nerds? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would it stop at P99? Would they bring down all EQemulator.org servers?

I don't see what harm 1000-2000 nerds do on a private emulator is doing to a big company. How much more likely are you to jump to Corporation X's servers after they shut P99 down? I'd just wait for Pantheon, 1001 other games out there in the meantime.

They have been hard at work deleting any mention of this on their official forums as well. Pretty sad state of affairs.

Yeah I would be more concerned about what whoever acquires the rights to this game will do about this server.

If I was wealthy, I'd buy the license in a second.

You'd all have EQ 3 in 4 years time too, with more "old school" MMO standards like classic does, a real MMO world to explore and not a theme park of modern MMO's.

I'd also give P99 a longer leash too, if thats possible
