Gonna need a source on this one. They have put out absolutely nothing to promote this that I have seen.

You understand that most of those "News" articles are paid advertisements?
You realize things like trailers cost time/money to make and that those trailers are being served as ads right?
You realize they're paying streamers to stream the game right?

Insta seems like an odd spot to advertise to middle age autists. Maybe they are trying to widen appeal beyond the main demographic.

What news articles?
Trailers being made by a dev to showcase models and animations? And served as ads where?
Unlikely, seeing how so many were chomping at the bit to do it for free/clicks.

Worst case scenario you had some receipts for 1 and 3, I doubt they would amount to a plate of beans, much less a million.

For anyone in the Beta that is up and running, do you mind taking a quick look at Task Manager and tell me how much RAM this game is using?

IG/Facebook like most social media. Serve ads based on your algorithm.

when asmongold plays eql I will believe they spent $1m. For now. I bet it’s like 150k.

You should look into how much a 200 viewer streamer with a partnership makes.
Or how much a News article that links to a trailer makes
Or how much an AD on IG makes

It's 4PM eastern, and still no announcement when the game is going live tomorrow. They are off to a great start.

For the guys that have actually played this. Fun?
I think it’s fun. It’s challenging if you want it and it’s fun to just smash through content. The upgrades feel impactful on your character especially on weapons and spells. The systems are surprisingly bug free.

some pay to play I am sure. One of the most painful things in the beta is bag space is extremely limited. A problem I am sure they intend for us to pay to solve.

I think it has legs and will do well as long as they don’t go overboard monetizing with too many xp pots and pay to win features.

Why not just roll a 5box + Merc for free on eq test if you just want to smash through old content and get loot? Free large bags there too. You guys are literally paying to beta something that's free at version 28.0

I'm going to give it a try. Feeling very nostalgic for EQ right now and this looks pretty fun, even if heavily compromised (per the comments in this thread).
So Cleph just messaged me on Reddit and said there's some Fennin folks planning to play. Interesting timing there. I'll DM you the server once I know.
