    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Yeah it's a shitload of boxed accounts likely on lifetime subs. They're playing all kinds of fucky with the numbers for absolute certain.

    Jones v Aspinall on the white house lawn would be pretty goddamn epic. I don't think I want to ever see McGregor in the ring again, for any reason.

    I remember picking the first one up and going "What the fuck I'm playing a FedEx simulator?" to "Ok so I need to make sure I don't carry too much to overload my bike so I can make this delivery because I really don't want to have to load up the truck which corners a little slower and it might...

    50% PVE in Deep Desert! Seeing it on sale for ~43, a month out (only a ~12% drop but it's a start) I really hope that nobody is confused about Funcom fucking things up repeatedly, when examples exist of why those things will fuck up and have for multiple years at this point. AoC was basically...

    The gym comment was more tongue in cheek but the reality is that shitloads of people sign up for yearly subs (yay semi-illegal contracts, depending on state) and they go for a month or two and then never again, letting it lapse at the end of the year. They're technically paying customers until...

    I mean that's actually the entire fitness industry's gym model in a nutshell. And they don't even offer lifetime subs for a flat onetime fee like EQ has repeatedly over the years.

    Fuck, the Sword are so good. I wish John didn't abandon it a couple of years back (and then come back) - we missed a probably pretty awesome album somewhere in there.

    There's a daisy chain! Yeah I forgot the Commando scene, which was clearly the inspiration for the montage from I'm Gonna Git You Sucka as well as the indian thing. I just haven't seen Commando in decades while I saw IGGYS a few years back because I saw the rib scene with Chris Rock randomly...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    They really gotta stick with the money makers; what are effectively "new" IPs being inserted into the MCU have shown repeatedly that they aren't going to do well without some absurd word of mouth and a very talented director at the helm. G.O.G. is an anomaly; not an average. When you start...

    Regardless of the relative 'morals' of the lawsuit's merits, the THJ guys are likely fucked because they made any amount of money. That's going to get them boned basically no matter what any other part of discovery finds out, I would imagine. The interesting thing that is going to be released...

    IMO the 'best' team is absolutely going to be: LF: Tidus MF: Brother RF/LD/RD/G doesn't matter~ Break, give to brother, have him draw all the defenders for a few seconds, pass to Tidus, have Tidus approach and Jecht shot. Repeat for free unanswerable points, forever!

    I mean, they pump out expansions every year. That means that they have at least one dude abusing AI to create content to sell to the ~1k people who play Everquest. There probably isn't much overhead to TLPs anymore because they already existed and have been reused/restarted multiple times...

    All signs point to Comcast~ Could have been a proxy setup like Neranja mentioned, or they had a primary gateway experiencing issues upstream from you and they just got around to restarting it/fixing the issue. For the ipv6 errors, it's probably nothing to worry about since your firewall...

    I remember GoD and OoW being somewhat interesting (aside from the retarded all consonants naming crap) and having pretty cool zones/etc and a distinct story, once they were both released. GoD was a mess before the level cap was raised. I honestly couldn't tell you what Dragons of Norrath was...

    If it's got multiple ports or you don't mind having the network disconnected, you could rule out the router mostly completely by just plugging in a laptop to the router and updating it in the whitelist to get through, and see if it's having the same issues. No issues - if you don't have a bunch...

    Can't believe EQ has 31 expansions. I wonder how many are actually quality. Those TLPs are probably factored heavily into the overhead for developing the yearly expansion. I can see why they would sue because they certainly aren't printing money with the playerbase.

    I think the real solution is to just never play a race that needs a light source. Apparently Deep Elves 4 Ever?

    Shot in the dark, but can you log into the comcast router? If it has persistent logging enabled(since you rebooted it) and see if there was an update pushed by Comcast to it between when you could access the sites and when you couldn't. Or if it rebooted during that same period before you...

    I feel like I only ever play Blitzball later in the game and only to get Wakka's ultimate weapon.

    I think Aerith fading into the lifestream is kind of just how the reality in the games works. It's something that eventually has to happen so that the world can heal. Even in an alternate timeline she would eventually have to enter the lifestream, thus completing her cycle. I could absolutely...

    I disagree on the world stuff. It felt very final fantasy from an aesthetic perspective. Chocobos, old timey castles and shit mixed with some ancient tech ruins, all the spells and stuff (Eidolens included) having the same flavor, etc. But the combat was Kingdom Hearts and not Final Fantasy...

    They're getting close to being something I would spend money on. 50% PVE/PVP deep desert is a good step. Not quite the step with 100% PVE but like halfway there. Now it's just the price drop that I'm waiting for. I'm still thinking 5+ months from now it'll be on sale for 20 bucks. If they...

    I could be a little wrong, but I don't think the layoffs are due to any feature growth/development (such as building AI into products or anything). What a lot of these layoffs likely are, if I would hazard to guess, are people in roles where you could effectively google their outcomes. So like...
