Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

Imagine being a DBG dev. You finally meet some cute nerdy girl at a social event. She's excited to learn you are a real-life video game developer. She's super interested to learn more.

But now you have to figure out a way to never, ever let her actually see the product you work on. It's better for her to just think you work on some cool game with elves and stuff. But you know if she ever installed the game and created a character, she would never speak to you again.

Thank you for continuing to not understand the English language. Absolutely no one here is applauding anything, and that doesn't change just because you keep repeating it.

We are mocking you because you are talking nonsense that has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. Proselytize somewhere that might have an effect, or keep pissing in the wind. Up to you.

Thanks for confirming that mocking is all you’ve got left. You’re not here to discuss, you’re here to strut around and sneer at anyone who still gives a damn. And that royal "we" you keep dropping? Cute. Nothing screams insecurity like trying to cosplay as the voice of the entire forum.

This is a MMORPG forum, built on imagination, passion, and community, not some dry courtroom where you get to play fake lawyer. I already conceded the legal reality. You just can’t handle anyone talking about soul because you traded yours for cheap forum clout a long time ago.

Thanks for confirming exactly what I said. You admit the system is broken and corrupted, but your only move is to shrug and say "deal with it." That’s not insight, that’s just giving up and calling it wisdom. We all know THJ is legally vulnerable. Nobody’s arguing otherwise. The difference is some of us still care about what EQ was meant to be, while you’re content to cheer on the slow corporate gutting of something people actually loved.

And to everyone mocking the idea of "soul," thanks for showing exactly why gaming keeps getting worse. You act like cynicism makes you smart and caring makes you cringe. But it was soul that built Norrath in the first place, not legal paperwork and shareholder slides. Without it, you don’t have a living world, you just have a product to be milked and discarded, which is exactly what you have in Darkpaw’s Everquest now.

This is the same mentality that’s taken over the official forums too. They’re full of people who’ve totally internalized "it’s a business™" as if that somehow excuses every bad decision. They tell themselves they have to support every bit of mismanagement because anything that keeps the spice flowing must be defended at all costs. It’s just empty corporate loyalty dressed up as pragmatism.

By the way, besides Furor’s Plane of Time rant, remind me what exactly FOH forums have actually contributed to the fantasy MMORPG genre? Because from here, it looks like all talk and no soul, forever stuck on the sidelines mocking anyone who still cares, while watching other people build worlds. Let’s not forget this forum’s habit of idolizing "celebs" like Curt Schilling and ex-EQ devs, turning them into rockstars while contributing nothing meaningful themselves. The real magic has always come from passionate players and actual builders, like the EQEmu community and private server devs, not forum groupies worshipping personalities.

And to you specifically, enjoy using this lawsuit as your big chance to grandstand for forum clout and score cheap points with the cynics. It’s easy to act like the smartest guy in the room when all you do is repeat legal footnotes and mock the people who actually gave a damn.

Enjoy patting yourselves on the back for "understanding reality" while you fight over deck chairs on the Titanic that is modern EverQuest. Sad that the THJ lawsuit is the only newsworthy thing to happen to the EQ franchise in years. That alone should tell you everything.

I’ll take caring too much over applauding the slow death of a world any day.
