Friday firings incoming!

probably move them all to h1z1, that makes money right?

Guess Columbus Nova only bought SOE for H1Z1.

RIP EQN

This might turn it around for Pantheon, in all honesty.

The interesting thing is they are looking to "launch" landmark this spring. Oh well here is hoping crowfall gets launched. kinda curious to try at least one voxel mmo.

Pity. Even with the way everything went down, I was still super on board with the ideas they had pitched to us. Oh well, maybe one of these days we'll see someone else take a stab at doing StoryBricks-style AI, and actually pull it off.

That feels like they want to honor the commitments they made when selling the early bird packs. Otherwise people would be asking for refunds. There are maybe 100 people playing it at this point. Pure cash grab.

Praise be unto the sole savior Pantheon.

RIP EQN

Expected but sad. The project was a disaster, I just want to be in a Norrath that isn't 50 years old.

Blizzard, make an MMO please.

Semi off subject, but curious how much the actual game is would be worth?

Buying the assets finished, code, etc. (Assuming they wouldn't sell the EQ name)

I know nothing about value of those kinds of things, but I thought about it when Curt's game folded and they tried to auction it.

Maybe someone comes in and buys a semi finished game?

Is that easier than starting from scratch?

My guess is the code is a messy salad and that's probably a big reason for the shutdown. I think they ran into a lot of technical problems and who knows how much was broken in the process. It's not an easy decision to toss away millions of dollars so the game must have had some fatal flaws to it.

Being developed by DBG is a fatal flaw....no?

So much for Steve Klug's technical wizardry

Good thing they held off on releasing EQN info for so long, because they were afraid someone was going to steal their ideas.

You know, the "Go almost bankrupt, get bought out by some random company who immediately guts us and changes the name, then cancels our flagship title" idea. Now EVERYONE will be copying it!
