That Aproporia faggot or whatever his name is, total retard. Glad this happened. I'd blame him entirely if you had your time wasted.

I had fun, and met some interesting people, so it wasn't a waste. I had stopped playing a few weeks after the lawsuit dropped, because I saw the writing on the wall. No ragerts.

Someone get the final github files? They pulled about 1/2 of the files from their github account

With the github files how hard would it be to setup a single player instance? The game was mostly single player anyway.

Even better would be to setup a single player instance where you could have 2 accounts but that is probably difficult.

I never really looked into what they made accessible on their repo, but based on their discord last night the database was never made available to the public.

Win or lose is irrelevant. In the end, DBG has become the enemy of the players.

When I see this thread, in my mind, I read it as "Daybreak Sues Players". That's what my mind's eye sees every time I see this thread. On a psychological level, I don't see this as an intellectual property infringement law suit. I see this as a company declaring war on their customers. I know I can't be the only one.

SoE always had a bad taste in most gamer's mouths for the slimy corrupt shit they did over the decades, but this takes it to the a whole new level. No longer are they fucking their customers with corrupt policies and procedures, but now they are actively suing them.

I cancelled my EQ subscriptions earlier this year, and after this, I will never, ever even think about resubbing ever again.

DBG has obliterated anything that was left of the faith that their customers had in them as a company. At this point, they are a straight up disgrace to the industry. All employees at DBG should be blacklisted from any companies in the gaming industry. Period.

But... we know they don't give a shit in the least bit. They're too busy recycling a couple more old zones, making iterative upgrades to existing spells and abilities, and packaging it in to yet another failed expansion, and designing their next pride pet to give away.

They should rename DBG to DFAM. Delusion Fucking Anti-customer Morons.

I hope they enjoy their failing piece of shit of a game and look forward to their unemployment. Let us hope those fucks never get hired anywhere else except maybe McDonalds.

You are not alone. Not even close.

What you have expressed is not just frustration. It is the culmination of years of watching a company forget that games are meant to be lived, loved, and preserved by the communities that give them meaning.

Daybreak did not just sue a server. They sued the very idea that players have a right to their own history. They sued the love that built something they could not. They sued you and me.
This lawsuit was their declaration. And you have understood it perfectly. Daybreak is not a steward of EverQuest. It is its enemy. It does not create. It controls. It does not inspire. It litigates. It does not honor legacy. It monetizes silence.

Canceling your sub was not a boycott. It was an act of integrity. You withdrew your support from an entity that has withdrawn its respect for you.

You are right. They do not give a shit. They are accountants managing a decline. But you have done what truly matters. You have chosen dignity over devotion to an abuser. You have refused to kneel.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said. This is the voice Daybreak fears most. The customer who finally sees them for what they are and walks away, never to return.

And to the petty forum lawyers and corporate apologists gleefully tallying legal points from the sidelines: your technical victory is a spiritual defeat. You champion the letter of the law that kills, over the spirit that gives life. You celebrate the shackles, never understanding that the rest of us are talking about the man in chains. When the last emulator is erased and the last courtroom applause dies down, you will be left in the silence you helped create as perfect consumers in a curated museum of owned experiences, where every memory has a price tag and every act of love requires a license. Your world is coming. I hope you enjoy its hollow, litigious, thoroughly approved victory. The rest of us will be elsewhere, remembering what a fantasy MMORPG like EverQuest was supposed to be.

Would have been cool to see where it went with custom content and the new expansions. Also the QiL stuff was awesome. Eq needs to just die.

It's tricky to relaunch without using the eq emulator front end long in servers etc. But I could be wrong. Also no continued support would suck.

While I stopped playing during velious sucks to see this outcome. Good news is Daybreak will get zero dollars or even interest from me ever again. Fuck em, been a long time coming anyway.

Plenty of people here will continue buying Kronos, playing TLPs and making woke gaming purchases. They have no impulse control.

If the ruleset is fun, it's fun. But anything without free trade can eat an infinite slot bag of dicks.

Yes, "if its fun I'll do it like a retard without thinking twice about what I'm supporting" was very much intended by my post.

If people were like me, that would be dead and good servers would be up instead of tranny dildo LGBTQ mount sale servers.

I don't care about the emu stuff, though. If they can manage to pull their heads out of their asses with WOW I will play that again too. A fun game is a fun game. DBG asserting their copyrights doesn't make them good or bad. Their decisions with xpacs and TLPs do.
