Put me on iegnore yu donkey.

I can make you post anytime I want. My arm is basically all the way up your ass and making your mouth flap.

Now watch you post in response to this post.

Why would I put you on ignore? Watching you spiral further and further into unhinged instability is an entertaining part of the work week [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bradzax/Shovel strikes me as the person who sees you about to sit down and says "sit down" and then acts like they told you what to do lol

I want to see rogean and secrets succeed. Longterm the better EQL does the better P99 will be off.

Probably true. The more interest it generates, you might get more people who were unaware of P99 who come try it, or who otherwise become reinvigorated in their interest.

Pretty hilarious that they left the THJ guys out in the cold on this after leveraging their ideas lol. Turns out stealing someone's IP and making a bunch of money on it is going to turn them off to including you in any projects, what a surprise!

Whats better for gaming. IP law, or ideas.

you have a strong obsession with THJ and its founders and for some reason constantly post about it on here instead of THJ related forums/social pages

Well, the reason for IP law is to ensure your ideas are protected. The idea behind IP law is that without it there would be a chilling effect on innovation. I.e., if your ideas can't be protected then why would you bother coming up with any ideas? So the answer to your question is that IP law is better for gaming, because it begets ideas and innovation. Without IP law, you would've never had EverQuest in the first place, and I think we can all agree we wouldn't like that outcome!

And Daybreak is actually an extremely reasonable IP holder. They allow private emulated servers like P99 to exist as long as you don't make many changes to the IP and as long as you don't monetize it beyond dollar-for-dollar what your expenses are for server upkeep/maintenance. Do you know how many companies would never allow that? I mean, look at Blizzard and private WoW servers...they try to shut those down.

As for your other quote, I'm not sure saying "hey you make 1 comment about THJ for every 100 I make" is the gotcha you think it is lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Agree. If it does well enough, they might be given other opportunities with the EQ IP, which would be great.

[Reiwa]

IP is protected when the idea is sold to a bank and later on someone iterates on the idea and the bank steals that idea.

This is innovation.

Ya dont like the sandbox rules.
Make ya own sandbox. Hint. Dont steal stuff from people who will litigate you to within an inch of your livelyhood. IANAL, but that is so basic i cant believe supposedly smart people didnt think of it.

Shovel, is THJ back up yet good buddy? Secret server only super dooper secret super friends know the address of? Come on, post it here, nobody plays here so nobody will see it.

My guess was they just figured Daybreak is a small-ish company that's not hyper-engaged and so wouldn't try and do anything about it
