Bro, you know that THJ intends on taking this to court and hired a top tier IP lawyer right? Do you know what the ENTIRE premise of these retards defense is going to be?

"LOOK AT THAT EQEMU COMMUNITY IT HAS EXISTED FOR 15 YEARS AND DBG DID NOTHIGN TO PROTECT THEIR ASSETS FROM THEM"

That is going to be their defense. They did this as a cash grab at the expense of everything.

I don't know that we can speculate on what their defense will be. Could they mention P99? Maybe.

Would that be a good defense? Not at all. DBG negotiated an agreement with P99, which an IP holder is totally allowed to do without waiving their rights to enforce the IP against other infringers.

That actually IS a defense, though.

Companies whose products brand names are synonymous with the product regardless of the actual brand, such velcro, band aid and kleenex basically have an obligation to protect their brand.

Trademark and IP are 2 different things, you dont have to protect your IP like you do a trademark iirc. IANAL, but if i remember from business classes correctly.

They still working on updates, even though they cant push them, because this is the field of dreams (like p99 is also).

They could have easily created this project legit without hurting the community (Don't use the steam client) and probably received plenty of unsolicited donations still. On proving the concept who knows they could have taken it to DBG and collaborated but they chose to do it the retarded way and get clapped for it.

You shill and seethe for grifters Shovel and it's sad.

I remember their EoM premium currency thing (1 dollar = 1 EoM) and looking at the math of how much it cost to keep those server buffs running and how they were constantly refreshed while I played there... It seemed like a lot of money.


There was like 5 different buffs and they costed various amounts of EoM for so many hours. I don't remember the exact values, but one was at least 20 EoM for lets say 4 hours. Maintaining that desirable buff 24 hours would cost $120 a day, and there was about another 4 that were something like 5 EoM for however long. So make that another 120 a day to keep the other buffs going. 240 x 365 = 87,600.


I don't know how much a server costs to maintain. I'm guessing less than that.

I looked it up to try to turn on a buff once and was like LOL no friggen way im spending that kind of money it was like 30$ for 1 buff XD

Whoever turns those on must be what are known as "whales" and just dump hundreds of dollars into it.

I always thought it was funny because if those whales left, and those buffs were not ever on. Id go to the THJ devs house and force them to turn them on permanently.
