Yeah, no. They won't get sued for 'copying' EQ lol. The guy, Brad McQuaid, originated EQ. And yeah it's been a while but these are HUGE undertakings and he's doing it without the backing of a giant conglomerate throwing fistfulls of money in the door. As far as I can see it's proceeding apace and I expect it will go beta sometime in the next 2 years.

?

Daybreak owns the IP. Just because you're the developer on a project doesn't mean years later you get to make the exact same project for yourself with IP rights involved, and the reason why I mentioned it is if you watch the latest live in development playthrough even the classes are exactly the same it's pretty much the exact same game. Daybreak isn't going to let him make a MMO that's an exact copy of EQ live

Edit- by "exactly the same" I mean same names -same terminology, if you stripped the pantheon name and labeled it EQ Next you wouldn't know the difference.
