I would highly doubt THJ comes back at all.

Am I taking crazy pills or wouldn’t this be a huge mistake on Daybreak’s part?

THJ was very popular. THJ (or something very similar) is something that Daybreak could release as a custom rules server themselves

Why NOT do it?

Blizzard shutting down the wildly popular private Nostalrius classic server via threat of litigation…then releasing their own classic server immediately after, resulted in millions and millions of profit, and single handedly saved the entire spiraling World of Warcraft game

Their code is probably not setup for easily implementing multiclassing in the sense of THC.

DBG recreating THJ would be like if DBG recreated a P99 Green server by just locking progression and leaving in new world zones.

It's not multiclassing that makes THJ fun, it's how well it's balanced. It's an entirely custom experience. Similar, familiar, feels like EQ.. but plays more like a solo action RPG.

It's more like wow, and even more like Eldon Ring—but with EQ controls.

Custom AA's, custom raids, everything is custom.

Daybreaks version of THJ would just be a shitshow of krono farming, 6 boxers, and totally broken mechanics in every direction... like all TLP live servers!

I was talking about in capacity as an emulated server, not whether Daybreak would make a clone.

Yea I get that, I just used your statement to re-ask (since the first time I mentioned it on like page 2-3ish no one answered) why Daybreak wouldn’t consider copying the server ruleset themselves

But other posters had answered, and it was illuminating to find out just how much better at coding, scripting, or programming (I dunno the current lingo) random nerds like Secrets are than Daybreak’s EQ staff

If it wasn’t a huge hassle, I still personally think Daybreak should try to copy it with the same sort of rules like no box. I think it would net them some money possibly despite the majority of people (including myself) tired of their in game shop amongst other things

If they do end up copying it, ima say I called it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

While I admit I burned out a bit and was taking a "break" from THJ... It's a bummer if it goes down. I had so much fun playing there

Im pretty sure there will be some kind of agreement.

Live eq Grok says has 10-15k active players... id if this provides any more info. Am curious what live player base is. https://www.playerauctions.com/player-count/everquest/

THJ has 25k people that have joined their discord in the last 6 months!

I'm not even sure how many people from 2015 when that statement was put out are still with the live team.

Yeah, I’m not sure. Who is the parent corporation that owns daybreak did they not own daybreak when that agreement was made I don’t know the whole relationship drama with this ridiculous IP.

Eq should be public domain.

DnD sues players. Eq sues players.

Wtf are we doing here?
