    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Problem I have with WoW housing is that it's too little, too late. This would have been peak around wotlk/cata era when people who played weren't all gay furries. Imagine a cool guild hall, putting boss loot from your first big kill on the mantle. Instead now wow is non-binary slop and housing...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    5 hour interview with Tigole was not something I expected out of 2026.

    Ashes of Creation

    I feel like in the past, similar kinds of mass outrage events ended up with Steam siding with the players and doing mass refunds. Didn't that happen with Helldivers 2 during the whole playstation account outrage?

    Ashes brings together two of the most wholesome enterprises in all humanity, MLMs and Private Equity.

    Ashes of Creation

    MMOs are like adventure games, RTS, etc. They were interesting relics of a specific time in gaming, but the combinations of features that made them interesting were parceled out into different genres / game modes. MMOs became big before social networks, discord, etc. Even when WoW was big, one...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    This is why Vaniki is still the best TLP server in recent memory. Got to do a bunch of weird GoD++ shit when you really shouldn't have been there. Also enchanters having uncapped charm didn't hurt.

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    To be fair, I'm not a big boxer and I only logged in to vote for no truebox (and pro-pvp for Aeth). I feel like this server will see some increase in people running a second character and maybe a third box since it's more accessible, but really the people who aren't 6+ boxing aren't normally...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    I got hit on Fangbreaker for what I can only imagine was MQ2 that was on disk due to one of those goofy emu servers that packaged a version for automating alts (FV Project or something?). At least that's what I assume since otherwise I've only ever used GINA/EQ NAG. I appealed and they said it...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    Most of the TLPers I know are over it. Between Fangbreaker, THJ lawsuit, random bans, this uninspired server is making people look for other things.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    This part is no so far fetched. In made up shit like copyright and trademark, defending or not defending your rights can strengthen or weaken your case on infringement. The obvious example is with trademark dilution where people use a trademarked name as a generic term for a class of products...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Someone said all the EQ player base is getting old and dying, so we can only hold out hope.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Isn't a lot of this shit on github anyway? It's definitely not 'having access to the code' that's stopping DBG from making a killer TLP.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    @Pyratec 's meme made it into an exhibit: @Arbitrary and @Elderan also quoted :emoji_laughing: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70555215/50/20/daybreak-game-company-llc-v-takahashi/

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    There was nothing stopping Daybreak from already doing this without needing their code. Just taking their code and not hiring the devs would lead to it not being 'even better', but half baked and DOA.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Fangbreaker is Restricted Truebox which means you can have at max two accounts running, and they each need their own computers. They do not enforce the 2 account limit at all though. Fangbreaker is odd in that truebox ends with the launch of Planes of Power, because that's the end of their...
