THJ reddit is now private, probably too many trolls and EQ fanboys calling the devs out for profiting off the whales.

Wow, haha. Spot on.

They probably had upset whales starting posts, "I spent $4,000 on this server in the last 6 months - and now you just shut it down?! I want a refund of that money, immediately!"

THJ was run by scammers. They used the good graces of the EverQuest name, and piggybacked off of P99 and Quarm to play the role of the "friendly, benevolent developers just trying to help people relive nostalgia"

When really, they (probably by accident) found a way to basically create an EverQuest OnlyFans. Where people with good salaries and no other hobbies can come to spend their money on pixels.

Righteous. I'm getting a hard on just thinking about the great justice being dealed out over some goddam pixels. Meanwhile, who benefits? Who gets the IP as if THJ, that weak-hearted prick, never even existed?

At least a small hand full of gamers (small in the grand scheme of things) got to try a fun and unique spin on EQ, maybe the THJ folks will create something similar using their own assets which I believe was already a plan anyway.. assuming they can financially recover from getting the unlubed dildo of consequences from daddy daybreak.

And then nobody plays it because it's not EQ. And then people moan and groan about TLPs more and keep subbing, and the cycle continues. Wu Tang Wu Tang
