Many blame the execs at the top - but the real drop in players were the result of woke developers.

I find my way in that I want to walk away keeps changing.

Any good exec would recognize this. That's why it wont happen.

If you want to mess with them badly and see them fail utterly and totally - just post praises about how good of a job they are doing and they should stay the course.

Its mostly all bots. Might have been a metric worth observing at one point - but we have all witnessed developers caving to the reddit npc's and getting badly burned in the process. Never listen to npc's. They will march you right off a cliff and then complain about it.

Be upset with DBG management. While it's easy to lump all of DBG employees together - it is poor leadership that is primarily to blame. While all the good employees left a long time ago - there are likely some frustrated ones left. Sadly they will suffer the poor decisions from management.

The prediction from the beginning is that everyone loses. So long EQ - it was nice knowing you.

It suits you so ya you should use it.

This is a fascinating question. Is the stock market inherently unpredictable or is it so complex as to be practically unpredictable? The model I am observing unfold is probabilities. There is a level of certainty once the data lines up, but it will never be 100%. The real question I am...

Plausable. I used existing public AI models to create a market tops and bottoms predictor algorithm in a google spreadsheet. In testing it nailed every top and bottom over the last 5 years. I applied it in practice on April 8th and hit the bottom perfectly. Time in the market beats timing of...

Imagine inheriting a bunch of worthless bitcoin 50 years from now.

THJ's equitable arguments are strong — Daybreak's own executives publicly encouraged emulators for decades, calling them "number one fans." Courts are reluctant to grant injunctions that would effectively reverse 20+ years of established industry practice. The injunction request is likely to...

Jason Alex 560 is also a known Antifa member and a faggot. All I wanted to do is play video games Jason. Your life must be pretty shallow.

Proof that even artificial intelligence cant save morons from being morons.

It essentially boils down to: Can you abandon IP rights through decades of acquiescence? If it goes to trial - THJ likely wins. I predict a settlement and not a blowout win for either side.

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 -...
