This is why I decided not to put any effort into a server. The amount of effort it would take to do it right, especially with current technology, would put you far down the path of just making an entirely new game. Why would you invest your time and energy into someone else's property? Monsters and Memories has the right idea. Just remake EQ mechanics in a new game and give up on emulation except for nostalgia in a local emulator or with a few friends.

Advocates for insta gratification eq. Tik tok brains. Should ban the shit out of thj and probably quarm too. Get rid of all the instances

Maybe if they staffed their servers and banned the afk krono farmers it'd improve.

Wow. I dont wanna play thj but what a great concept. Also, by all accounts it is well balanced and obviously engaging.
Not for everyone but whatever, prolly could have gone better if no pay to play.

EQ ip owners could easily hire these folk and make a killing. But that dont sound like what a "squeeze the last drop then auction the parts left" kind of company does.

In hind sight (as others have already said) maybe dev time would be better spent creating a new game with those characteristics. And have pay to play elements.
They obviously have programmer chops.

If you read the lawsuit, they want all their code. Something tells me daybreak wants their work[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's fair to want their work when thj wants, and used, daybreak's work in the first place. Fair is fair.

Just make a new game. Why squander your coding talents on a heavily modified version of everquest that in no way resembles actual everquest? Although I'm also skeptical that it takes some kind of coding genius to make thj.
