There's not, and never has been. There is is literally one and only one license that has been issued, and it was to P99 and no one else. I was wrong about the lawsuit, but the license was very specific and limited. Arguing that a license that states "you are limited to Velious and earlier only"...

How much of that stress is internal, and how much is external?

You can write a server code if you want to. What you can't do, is use that code to release EQ. That's where your argument falls off a cliff. If they were using it on a LAN somewhere for just themselves that would be just peachy keen. Using it to make an EQ server that is open to the public is...

I'm McLovin' it!

I don't think we have an Asshat of the Thread competition. Yet.

It was a great fantasy world. Some of the characters sucked. Some of RJ's writing sucked too. *braid tugging intensifies* I enjoyed the lore behind Mat and Perrin's stories more than Rands, and was utterly disapppointed that both got completely pussy whipped in the end.

An excellent choice. Smallville had some great actors over the course of its run. Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor was one of the best versions ever. I would put it up there with Gene Hackman.

Or she might be a cannibal and he is emergency rations.

No, it is literally to protect Intellectual Property. The original goal and the current goal are aligned in that regard. What Disney did to pervert it was change it from 13 years from release date to 70 years after death of creator, or 95 years for commercial works. Once you can buy congress...

New ep of Clevatess is out. Show goes fucking dark. Love it.

Sure they do. Not enough ports for al those dongles.

He's having auditory hallucinations of people clapping. His brain has gone to a very special place where we can't follow. Seriously, though, I have yet to see anyone in this thread saying the lawsuit makes them happy. Once you look at the applicable laws, historical precedence, and such, it's...

Sounds like she might be.

Congratulations, you just described the business model of every gacha game out there. You're not forced to donate for the nice QOL features or pretty glams, but you are highly incentivized to.

Funny thing about old Supes, he is a literal Jewish golem.

And it's still not free trade, so fuck it in the goat ass.

General consensus was the ruleset is ass so people had no interest.

After the second time I would be getting the city involved and making sure your neighbors (and yourself) don't have trees that can fall onto each others' properties. Or require that if they want to keep said trees they have to have and maintain an active insurance policy with you listed as the...

Soul means fuck all in a lawsuit, which is what kicked this all off. Whether you like DPG or not also means fuck all. Your weird obsession about intangibles that will have no part in either the lawsuit or the future of EQ while DPG owns it also means... you guessed It, fuck all. I am not here...

I made the mistake of thinking the thread title was an indicator of the discussion. Turned out it's people wallowing in feels over reals writing shitty fanfics about what they wish would happen way outside the bounds of reality. The copyright infringement is on lock. 100%, no way out of it. The...

Uglymug was good. Love the permanent debuffs he chose.

So, went to Sonic and got the burger and a couple corn dogs. Not sure if I needed to specify smash burgers, but mine came on regular patties. Tasted good, but was also very light on pickles for something being named a picke burger. Will try again tomorrow and specify smash burgers and extra pickles.

The burger sounds good to me. The tots not so much, and hell no on the drink.

There are absolutely 0 ways this goes against DPG. The copyright infringement is absolutely on lock. 100% of all art assets are straight up from the EQ client and used without permission. They are using the EQ client for everything. Making mods to it doesn't change that the entirety of the...

We may be degenerates, but we're degenerates who aren't in your neighborhood. And like Control said many of us are married. You are also one of us, and we're not going to kick you when you're down. If you want that kind of attention then hit up Reddit. Post that you are getting divorced on AITA...

I enjoyed the first ep of Water Mage. They did kind of speed run his training arc, though.

It's a shame no one ever made a movie sequel to Highlander. At least we got a legendary TV series out of it.

Would be fucking awesome if that's how copyright worked. The only question left at this point is how far up the THJ devs' asses DPG is going to shove the Spiked Dildo of Lawfare. They can go for the jugular and ask for a lot more than the THJ team took in just on per infringement basis. Every...

The average has been going down the past few weeks. Whether that is due to burnout or the lawsuit is anyone's guess. I am going to keep playing until it gets shut down, which will probably be in a few weeks when DPG gets a ruling on their injunction request. I forget which thread had the law...

So, season drops 7/31? Gotcha.

This is a thread specifically about a copyright infringement lawsuit and he's talking about morals and righteousness and trying to call me out for talking about copyright and the legalities of it. I mean, I am playing THJ right now, and love the server, but I understand how they fucked it up by...

Ok, so you're just here to spew random BS that will have no impact on whatever is going on with this lawsuit then? Got it. Sorry for thinking you were trying to take part in the conversation.

And? Just because you don't like what the EQ devs are shoveling out doesn't change a single thing when it comes to copyright. DPG is still the one who gets to call the shots. They are beholden to ENAD to make as much money as possible. There is a non-zero chance that the THJ folks could fuck...

Money is a legal fiction. Go ahead and try to live without it. Copyright exists and has rules backed by the power of the government at the end of the day. The copyright owner is the one who gets to say what can and can't be done with their IP. They can allow as much or as little input from fans...

And? The reality of it isn't going to change whether you rant about it or not. DPG is a business at the end of the day. They are beholden to their owners.

When you own something you can do whatever you want to with it. The folks who own EQ have ROI expectations from it. Simple as that. The current owners bought it after it had been in a death spiral for quite a long time. They didn't expect DPG to magically turn it all around. If it stops being...

It's an epic fantasy story. It's not isekai. They don't "assume" the beast lords exist, they know they do because they have been fenced in long enough to have lost their maps of the world beyond their current caged in lands. Good classic anime art style. Good VAs. I didn't even realize it was a...

Definitely a pleasant way to start the season.

They get 2 senators like every other state.
