I am suing this guy on behalf of daybreak games for steeling velks lab's name.

If Daygreed shuts it down, I hope thj devs release a full offline client of the game so you can just play by yourself.

Since it's a single player action RPG anyways.

Ill bet you a million dollars everyone who works at daybreak has a character on THJ.

I'm sure even they are bummed about this.

they'd be more bummed from a class action lawsuit with everyone that owns stock in the holding company that owns the IP, and everyone at daybreak getting fired for being incompetent idiots.

a firm would take that case for free because they get 80% of the payout if it happens

i was arguing about this shit with that retard in RnF a couple weeks ago

the same logic applies to p99, you can argue that it's creating shareholder value by being a pipeline to the actual product but have fun explaining it in court filings vs digital ambulance chasers

I feel like p99 is safe simply because of the track record. It's been around 16 years, it used to have a higher pop than it does now. Sony and then daybreak could have shut it down at any point and never did. It fills a certain niche that doesn't really threaten daybreak, where quarm and thj do.

This helps explain why we haven't seen any new servers here IMO.

things have changed in that 16 years though, that's my only point.

Jason Epstein, Ji Ham, and the executive crew there were at best uncommunicative and at worst bald face liars, incapable of investing in any new development, content to live off the milk that the herd of games they bought from SOE could provide. But now that Daybreak is part of a publicly held company, things look like they could get much worse

that was posted in some blog that covers this shit last year, the info and writing on the wall has been there, so just don't act surprised if/when it happens.

They are all on an undisclosed island in the (now you know why its named this) ocean of tears.

"Sister Island" sounds a lot more sinister now.

Oh I won't act surprised, but there's the bad PR element too. If they want the milk, shutting down a 16 year old good-faith project could actually threaten the milk supply.

Remember some really big company bought up the rights to Asherons call and shut everything down and shut down all the community projects.

You should have gratitude this didn't happen yet with p99 and many other EMUs.
