Maybe ONE of the disgruntled employees will hook the Devs up with a 13 year old subversion repository as they leave?

yes?

Layoff's are never any good for any involved. Here's hoping everyone affected gets back on their feet soon!

They should have invested in P99

I also wonder how this will effect EQNext. Hopefully the lay offs will account for their workforce not related to new projects, thus funneling more money into them by decreased spending on SOE's less popular and less profitable titles and the employees associated with them.

I really want EQNext to be win.

Good. It's time to let EverQuest die and let those people take their lives back IMO.
