you seem to be missing the point that they were making income from this.

No other dev in the long history of EQEmu has made a livable wage off of emulating EverQuest. It's been people doing it mostly as a passion project.

Keep all the aspects of THJ as-is, but take away the Marketplace and allowing people to buy in-game items with real-life cash - and I support it. I wouldn't play, but I still support the idea.

What you seem to not understand is that they crossed that line, which was well-established by every other dev that's been a part of EQEmu's history of DO NOT SELL ITEMS FOR REAL LIFE CASH

Thats where all the huge audiences are.
not huge, but good age demo to target especially weaponizing nostalgia and the quick high of zoom zooming through all the content lol.

the tri class system is new and super cool don't get me wrong, but the rest literally isn't that impressive, there's no lack of passion projects over the years with autists tinkering with the databases, SoD alone had like thousands of custom hand written quests, thens of thousands of NPCs and Items over a decade that all kicked the shit out of EQ Lore

shit i saw in the like week i played THJ could be done in a weekend with a case redbull. like lol, lmao even.

I don’t care that the server is shut down and I played on it.

You didn’t play on it and you’re crying like a little bitch about it.

I agree that they shouldn’t have taken money, but I don’t agree on the way that you’re fucking saying that this is their fault. Fuck them. They’re scammers and grifter that’s bullshit and fuck you for saying it.

So, you agree they shouldn't have taken the money - but don't agree that it's their fault that 15+ years of EQEmu history was effectively vanished because of a court ordered injunction that was brought on because... they made money off of another company's IP...

If we wanna talk about wishes and unicorns and what “should be and what shouldn’t have been done.”

Then what should’ve fucking happened: Is that daybreak games should’ve absorbed THJ and made the best goddamn EverQuest server on live that they’ve seen since 1999.

There’s a fucking donate button on www.project1999.com

If this server has the same number of users is THJ they’d be fucking making that kind of money too!

If day break games gave a shit about the donation system, they would have said:

Stop the donations, keep the server going.

But they didn't they said stop the whole server beaaaaauuuuuuse:

No - because you don't get any in-game items for donating to p99.

That's the whole point of contention of the members of the EQEmu and P99. It's one thing to solicit donations - ie: have people give money and they get nothing in return.

It's another thing to reward them with in-game items. Now you're profiting off of people wanting a pay-to-win structure.
