    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Maybe DPG plan all along was to release a terrible ruleset and then use the low population as a key point that THJ is taking away their business in the lawsuit.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    At this point we have enough variations of rulesets they could spend a few years just releasing mixed rulesets 2-3 times a year and turning on the money printer. They want to release a new expansion every year for live but I am sure the roi on those are getting worse and worse. Maybe they need...

    The ROI on Tlps have got to be massive when you just recycle older ruleset as they require almost no dev time. So it doesnt make sense why they would not be releasing at least 2 tlps a year separated by 4-6 months to try and maximize the players who want to play different rulesets.

    Oakwynds population was pretty good until the tradeskill depot play exploit. It was cut in half within a few days of that and the just died out quick.

    Aradune had a 2box limit and it pulled far better numbers. Dont get me wrong the 2box limit is certainly harmful to a servers population but the vast majority of the reduced population on Fangbreaker is due to the weird level locking.

    New sus/ban wave went out about noon est today. I suspect this is an effort to push more people onto Fangbreaker at least short term so whoever came up with this terrible ruleset can claim success.

    Ask anyone who sells loot rights, FV is a million times better lol. If you sell loot rights you need to either have your buyers online or you need to do content in prime time to have the most amount of potential buyers online. Then you got the massive pain in the rear of getting the krono from...

    There are certain things that can lower or raise the population for servers for sure. FV loot is top of the list, bonus loot is as well. However things that lower population are things like vaniki rules, 2 box limit. If these things did not exist on the server the population would be higher. I...
