Especially after the recent Mastery and class updates on test server where it appears Pantheon devs are starting to walk on water. A full team at Daybreak could really polish Pantheon into EverQuest Vanguard Super Gold Edition with almost no effort compared to the slow chugging of Pantheon's 3-4 employees. Would cost nothing to buy them out relative to the profit they would make off the Pantheon assets and base game/classes
All character models and art assets redone is the only investment DBG would need to make, as Pantheon's armor and models aren't up to par for a wide release. Really a small amount of work to ship Pantheon as EQ3.
