I literally do not care who wins or losses because it's already over and I know who is right in terms of the law.

I just like to stick up for the THJ devs whom I like very much.

HOWEVER I have lived long enough to know anyone who says the law is this or the law is that, needs to go look at rampage Jacksons son planning to and trying to murder someone all on video, who will walk, and become a UFC superstar.

You never know ohw this will play out, it could litreally blow up in DBGs face, and I hope it does. But Im not investing my heart and soul into beliving that happens yeesh.

I just told a retard on THJ that him trying to horde wealth was a waste of his life and i couldnt wait for the server to be shut down so he would wake up from his stupor.

Yeah, I think most THJ people have come to terms with it. But there's bound to be some rage posts.

Personally if we're talking online drama imagine the fallout if DBG loses and the kind of conversations that would start. That'd be super interesting.

I feel like how DBG manages EQ, is tantamount to just holding it hostage more than doing anything with it.

I think there is some crossover, with the "stop killing games" movement, or things to be said about the EMU community doing more with it than the owners do.

Emus have one job.

Don't make money. Im thinkin' it really is this simple.
Having said that, I do think employing some of the devs to make what people clearly want is clever. But as shovel (and others) has said, they appear to just be placeholdering the EQ IP to milk it with little to no input on their part until its cellular death.

I'm on board with this. The market is absolutely flooded with bad titles.

Still can't stop the trend toward more active and healthy lifestyles among younger people and that spells the end of the game design, even if you could free the IP. Aerobics, Pilates, and yoga are today's "Everquest."
