Playerone thinks Daybreak invented EQ and that the players are the problem with the game.

This is exactly what Bill Gates did to sell the original DOS OS. Except he didnt even own it at the time he sold it to IBM.

Clearly you haven't worked in an environment like this. What you suggest would never even cross their minds. Think more like a panicked animal in a trap as it gnaws its own leg off. And if the animal could somehow deflect the predators attention elsewhere to extend its life just a few more...

Again, stop thinking rationally - this isn't about revenue, it's corporate theater. They're clutching at legal action because it looks decisive to non-gaming investors who don't understand the ecosystem. Going after "IP infringement" sounds like protecting valuable assets, when it's really just...

You are thinking far too logically and like a gamer. If you want to understand Daybreak - you need to think more like a lawyer or accountant. They stopped thinking about the players and the future of the game a long time ago and anyone that worked there that had pride in the game either left in...

The code is public already. Anyone including you can go get it, modify it, contribute to it.

Zero chance they take the Quarm route. The THJ dev's have already indicated interest in pursuing other game development ideas if this falls apart which at this point I think is the most likely outcome. Much greater chance THJ shuts down for good and they go do something else. DB continues to...

If they had any intentions of doing this, they would have done it years ago. Instead they clutch their pearls and feed the whales while completely forgetting what the game is even about.

On what grounds? Grok says THJ will lose. But I agree with the larger sentiment that Daybreak likely loses no matter what unless they figure out a way to embrace the opportunity right in front of them. But I am certain they wont.

The debate over license is irrelevant—Daybreak’s IP rights are clear, and they’ll likely win in court. No one seriously expects otherwise. What’s undeniable, and Daybreak should recognize, is that The Heroes’ Journey is by far the most popular version of EverQuest, and it isn't even close. This...

THJ is the best thing to happen to Everquest in the last 10+ years. Daybreak is in a death spiral and everyone that has paid any attention, knows it. As a fan of the game and the genre - I want to see innovation resurge to restore life to my favorite game. TBH I had given up much hope of...

If they intended to do that - they would have done it without upsetting the community by threatening the most popular server in recent memory. The cost to them will be real. They already fucked up. Lets hope they come to their senses. Again, not expecting it.

I feel Ion Blaze had the best response to the situation with THJ and Daybreak. I hope they listen but I expect they wont.

I cancelled my daybreak accounts. Its the least I can do. If nothing else - I want them to stop sucking so much. The crux of all of this is multi boxing imo. Whales with multiple accounts represents a large portion of their revenue and I think that model is shit.

Worse, they likely blame the lack of success on THJ rather than their stupid TLP ruleset.

Multiclassing: Players can combine three classes (e.g., Necromancer/Paladin/Druid or Warrior/Cleric/Enchanter), accessing all spells, abilities, and AAs from each. With 560 possible combinations, this allows creative, powerful builds like a "holy blender" (Warrior/Paladin/Rogue) or pet-heavy...

The community could rally for THJ, but Daybreak’s track record shows they value IP control over fan support. It’s likely a lost cause.

Daybreak could be rich if they were not so greedy (and lazy). I hope they lose it all and the community wins.

I thought this as well - but I reconsidered. The way they are implementing this works for a single server. Think of SF and HC as leagues - similar to POE. Other than chat - you cant interact between these leagues. HC has its own economy and SF is SF. I expect SF guilds that work together -...

Really enjoying this server and the unique take on the game. It has rekindled my love for a game I have played most of my life. I really didnt think this level of re-invention was possible. Kudos to the team for bringing this to vision to life. If you are on the edge of trying this one - do...

Its lag. It's not a new behavior but it is more exaggerated now. The market is held up largely by big tech and these companies are doing quite well despite everything. Even during Covid they thrived. They are so large that even if the remainder of the market was falling, we would still go up...

The only thing I understand is that gold goes up in economic uncertainty. It's a data point. But personally, I don't understand the rationale. If we experience a collapse at that scale - who is going to accept gold as tender? Even the bullion experts have trouble sometimes identifying fake gold...

The next 12-18 months will be dicey for sure. If I were in your position I might do the same. I am 15 years+ from retirement so I have lots of time.

I Was Wrong About Bitcoin. I bought Bitcoin when it was in the single-dollar digits, back when wallets lived on clunky hard drives. Technically, I still own it, but good luck finding that wallet file—pre-online exchange days were a mess. I rode the early hype, but even then I felt it had long...

In volatile markets, sitting on cash isn’t a strategy—capital must be deployed somewhere, even in uncertain times. Crypto? Not exactly stable historically. Could evaporate at any time and IMO will go the way of tulip bulbs. Gold? Many might agree and in an unstable market many will choose...

I get the AGI appeal. But IMO the next target is inserting AI into robotics to do meaningful tasks. This will be the next killer appliance. OK maybe killer is a poor choice of words here.

The day isnt over yet.

This is normal. Historically, the larger the single day gain, the larger the drop the following day - usually due to profit taking. - After the 11.58% gain on October 13, 2008 (financial crisis relief plan), the market fell 0.77% the next day - After the 10.79% gain on October 28, 2008, the...

I did the same. I moved everything into VTSAX yesterday. Should be even better in the single day since the market declined in the last hour. But I moved to VTSAX because I intend to play long now.

The old trade system and ability to gank packs in ship battles was the best fun in any mmo ever. I'd love for that to be a reality but my trust has been shot so many times I just don't know.

This game is offering crypto currency to kill zombies. Looks like it is built on Etherium. https://www.undeadblocks.com/

Doesnt seem accurate to me. We had over 200 people online in guild alone last night. I know we are nowhere near that much of the population.

Vaniki is the best TLP in a very long time. Easily my favorite so far - and I was very skeptical going into it. 1. I was bored with the classic start. Starting with GoD there are so many different options for leveling. Who knew Natimbi, Dulak, and warrens would be so populated. 2. The server...

I use Vanguard and I'm happy with it but the interface is a bit dated. I have heard good things about Schwab.

I bought 150k of index funds today and another 450k later this week. Only people that jump off roller coasters get hurt. Timing the market is foolish and the market will always go up long term, esp in an unhealthy economy.

Agree on Hiram content. It was supposed to be a catch up mechanic and became a treadmill. Kakao says they want to change that - but not at the start. They want to go back to the trade/craft/sea pvp way of things.

The dailies burned me out last fresh start. I am glad they are weeklies now instead.

If it's worth anything, they discussed in a recent ama that they plan to focus on naval battle and return the cycle of trade wars and crafting back to the game. My view, is that at least they are not asking for money up front and putting themselves in a position to prove themselves over time...
