swg emu up, its pretty good but last time i played wasnt much pvp yet.

Yeah, I looked it up, and it says "NO TORRENTED." Is that just to save them, or can they really detect it and ban you? Which is funny, because I totally had two CEs, and threw them out after the game went down for good.

They have to say that, there is no way for them to tell.

That's what I figured.

Any idea if they're going to announce a new time-locked progression server for original EQ at SOElive?

Fippy & Vulak (especially) are fading fast, from what I hear.

Fippy isn't too dead.

Regarding EQnext/EQ classic comparisons, there are clearly many people that would pay for and play a more classic style MMO, but I can see why developers would rather pursue the greater population that wants something less time intensive, in order to get more revenue. A niche game has less revenue potential and development costs for MMOs can be huge.

Not to play devil's advocate but I don't believe a few thousand people spread over a handful of emu servers is considered "many" in the current MMO world. You could add up all those folks and include people still playing EQlive, Vanguard, etc and that still wouldn't compare to even a niche market like Eve-Online which i think is around 30-40k active players.

times have changed, the "few" old cats still playing these classic games aren't on any big companies radar.

one could view the music industry the same, Tony Bennett vs. Justin Bieber.

Bennett sells out the casino's he plays in, Bieber sells out arena's. When Tony puts on a show he'll draw his old fans still alive and a few herpderp hipsters, when Bieber puts on a show he'll get massive amounts of 5-15yr old kids and their suicidal parents along with making shit tons of money for the labels and sponsors.


on a side note, if Tony represents EQ what is Bieber? probably not WoW since that game is almost classic, maybe the Rolling Stones who keep pulling the "we're not dead yet" routine.

That kind of speak should be bannable. I'm not even joking.
