Loved Planetside. Played it for years

Holly has been in charge at EQ for a long ass time, she was in charge when ragefire / phini servers came out, and probably for quite some time before that

[Horza]

But she's a woman so we're all doomed.

How much is the Everquest IP worth at this point? If it's less than 1 mill we could probably crowdfund the entire thing.

A few years ago some laid off employee on FoH said that EQ1 brought in like 4 million a year. And in an interview last year Holly said that EQ1 has been increasingly profitable.

Wow I never knew. Okay then, guess that's shelved.

Holly Longdale is one of the coolest people I've had the pleasure of interacting with, and she's 100% on board with the emu community - she's even met with eqmule, the current maintainer of MacroQuest2, in person.

She understands her game needs to evolve to stay afloat and also pander to nostalgia.

She's awesome.

I personally think the Devs have been doing a good job on live, the last expansions have been a load of fun, even if i still hate the cash shop and the abomination that is followers.

Am I the only one excited for the inevitable sale to some big Chinese company, then the slew of predatory mobile games with an EQ skin that are sure to follow?

Wait, I'm not even excited for that either.
