Daybreak sues THJ

[Hailto]

Latest update from discord:

Good evening, Heroes!

I am happy to share that as of tonight, the Court entered an agreed to and jointly-requested order that resolves Daybreak's request for a TRO.

As a part of this agreement, and continuing our commitment to act in good faith, we are officially suspending the release of all major updates, new items or mechanics, until permitted to do so.

We are, however, incredibly grateful that players are still allowed to access and play on THJ. Moreover, we are also thankful for the flexibility enabling us to make routine changes and maintenance, like bug fixes, in the meantime.

In accordance with this order, we are posting the following public statement:

“The Heroes’ Journey is currently subject to pending litigation brought by Daybreak Game Company LLC regarding intellectual property and other related matters. While that case proceeds, a Stipulated Order found here has been agreed to by the Parties in that litigation and is subject to enforcement by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.”

We know this has been stressful for many of you, but please know that you are not alone. We are doing everything in our power to see this through to a positive outcome for our community and all involved parties.

You can look forward to an announcement soon of a downtime to bring live the many bug fixes outlined in the ⁠test-log

Thank you for all your immense support!

This is why I decided not to put any effort into a server. The amount of effort it would take to do it right, especially with current technology, would put you far down the path of just making an entirely new game. Why would you invest your time and energy into someone else's property? Monsters and Memories has the right idea. Just remake EQ mechanics in a new game and give up on emulation except for nostalgia in a local emulator or with a few friends.

Yeah but there's no way to punish the person who set up the store, if nobody knows who that is..

They collect money through Ko-Fi, which payment processing is done by companies that need to verify there identity. All of which operate out of the US and are subject to US laws. They will not destroy their companies to protect the identity of the THJ devs.
