Yes, here is where I am reading court docs regarding the case.
Daybreak Game Company LLC vs. Takahashi

No new docs have been filed since September 2nd.

I have always thought DBG would win the case from Day One. The THJ folks just got greedy and that is something DBG cannot allow or they won't win any cases like this in the future.

DBG cared about how THJ had a higher concurrent player base on an everquest server since the early 2000's.

Especially after their TLP launch flopped 1 month before the lawsuit.

The only greedy people here are DBG.

Good business would have been to host the THJ server on DBG servers and aquire the devs and make everyone happy.

But DBG got greedy.

THJ just made a better game.

The defendants claim by playing EverQuest and agreeing to the EULA, any disputes shall be resolved via arbitration.
This seems to be true and neither party disagrees.

Having not actually read it, Im sure it says somewhere "While playing on DNGs official servers these arbitration sessions shall occur" now im no lawyer but an EMU server isnt in fact and official server.
I'm predicting a punch in the face incomming for KRISTOHASHI &
ALEXALOR.

Yeah I have no clue who will win but I have a feeling daybreak games is literally as inept at law as they are at game development.

Lol wut... the only reason this lawsuit is even happening is because of all the money THJ was vacuuming in on the daily. Noone gives a shit about concurrent players, it's all about $$$.

THJ got greedy, there would be no lawsuit had these twats not ran an RMT cashshop.

the lawsuit wasn't "we lost money" it was "irreparable harm"

the money is what allowes them to make the lawsuit happen.

They dont care about like two hundi's the THJ devs can buy with their profits.

Its the HARM that is being done to their brand.

Which is ironically the lawsuit is much more harm on their brand than the humiliation they went through with the fangbreaker flop.

Have the last 3? expansions had any new art or models?

It doesn't count as publishing if you copy paste your previous works.

they got new assets for the expanisons, they pay someone on www.fiverr.com 20bucks for each expansion i'm pretty sure.

Honestly, the argument is solid from THJ lawyers. In the Daybreak EULA it clearly states that "any dispute" will be handled by arbitration - and doesn't make any exceptions, (ie: IP infringement)

Bold move, Cotton - let's see how it plays out

A dispute while still reasonably within the parameters of the EULA. I don't think it makes much sense to legally bind one side to any clause of a contract when that contract has been egregiously ignored and broken by the other side.
