Daybreak is retarded if they don't take what THJ did and copy the shit out of it asap. It might just save them for another year.
I think there was a moment that a lot of folks said that... We are really not sure whey they did not or at least attempted to create something out of the box but then I think most remembered who they were dealing with. I hope this works out for their team.

The more I have thought about a new project carrying on this concept it very well could work out better for them. They were really shackled to the EQ content and the popularity of each expansion. We all know how people feel about post-PoP. Its pretty spotty... I heard some folks were going to sit out some expansions, looking forward to some, and were beginning to have opinions to how they should approach encounters, zones, etc. I personally thought expansions like House of Thule were going to be pretty solid and was looking forward some that I had missed but there was also some I could have cared less. Now, they can cherry pick the best pieces of lore, experiences, or completely create something new. Its going to be a risk but what game isn't? I think they have a pretty fair chance of something fun for the first 3-6 months but have a hard time seeing its sustainability. I hope I'm surprised.

Sure. Examples

Copyright law is a little different than a normal damages case. A typical civil suit for damages the actual damages that occurred are important to demonstrate.

In a copyright case, if you can prove the infringement, you are entitled to what is called "statutory damages" per infringement, the statute lets you seek a per infringement amount of $750 up to $30,000. It is at the discretion of the trial judge to determine if the number the plaintiff requests in statutory damages is "just."
THJ is going to be paying long and hard. Every penny donated + whatever "damages" + lawyer costs, their own and DBG's.

There is a possible positive outcome, where THJ is forced to keep their thing going to pay off their debt to DBG. Let those donations go towards that and server costs.

Reality THJ is paying and undisclosed amount that doesn't pierce the corporate veil so it's less than what they took in minus their own lawyer costs minus operating cost ect. Definitely less than what DBJ payed to sue them.

THJ likely would've shut down with a simple C&D and THJ had also tried to contact DBG to work out a deal with them.

THJ Lost
DBG Lost
The fans lost

All because Daybreak is retarded.
