I don't really see this as a moral thing. To me the people who own the rights to EverQuest now didn't actually create EverQuest and IMHO, ruined it. The fact that EverQuest hasn't evolved at all, and is still more antiquated than MMOs that came out 15 years ago is pretty sad. They can't balance TLPs at all, even though the changes required would be extremely miniscule and simple.

It's why I have zero confidence in EQ 3.

Starting to feel this way about WoW too. All of the people who created WoW and made it a fun game are long gone, and the game is slowly being driven into the ground but blue-haired kids who are younger than the game itself. But simultaneously they will behave smugly as if players have no right to criticize them because they made this game etc. and it's just like... no?

Yeah thats exactly why Id love to see THJ brought into the fold.

There are so many amazing EQ moders out there that seem to really get EQ, and i just don't understand why live doesn't just monitize it and do some robolx shit.

Imagine if you could just log into a live EMU server and play EQ vs Army of Tanks.

ITT: a simp for the thj devs is sad he hasn't been finger cuffed by them in weeks and takes his unbridled cult-like rage out on other forum goers.

RIP all the servers going down, all because poor little Aporia wanted extra fuel for his yachts.

Also Blizzard didn't hire the DOTA creators—

—But Valve did, and they made 1 billion dollars with them.

And then Riot cloned Dota, and has completely demolished Blizzard as their competition.

As for item shop stuff.

The Hidden Forest had donor gear over 15 years ago. IIRC some items up to 60 USD per <Was it CoH orb? I can't recall>.

Great server. Never shut down.

The real issue what in fact that Fangbreaker had competition. And Lost. Be it poor ruleset. Everyone STILL asks for just letting us play Zerker/Beast at launch and they absoultely refuse because "balance" which is silly. Classic EQ was never remotely balanced. Donor gear was just a side thing for lawsuit. Never the reason for it.

My deal was we both stop posting about it. When you didn't stop, there was no deal.

If you want to prove me wrong, stop posting about THJ, stop posting in the THJ threads, etc. and see if I post about it attacking you
