There's things in here to read? it's just pissing and moaning when I don't post

Also to cotinue with evidence



this is funny because all of the icons were copy/paste eq icons before the reworks

I still believe Nick's firing had more to do with not getting enough work done, rather than over "copying EQ".

Love the guy, but at the pace Nick was working it was clear to everyone that EA was several years away rather than what might be a year or two.

"Put some guys working with Nick to finish the classes" isn't a valid suggestion when he was more focused on finishing draft beers. I believe copying EQ was a secondary reason, and likely something that had been brought up during meetings. But ultimately "copying EQ" doesn't matter because work on the classes had completely stalled out for 2 months (some people from early alpha would say things were stalled for 2 years). They had plenty of grounds to let Nick go from class design outside of "he's copying EQ".

Lol he still lives. React spotted!

FWIW it always seems like he had a bunch of ideas but was pretty much either hamstrung with tech and art not existing and having to piece together unique playstyles from a super limited pallete of existing spells and what little could be strung together with database shenanigans. Not to mention whatever pushback was going on from the back office committees. EG the pretty extreme initial racial stats from him and then getting what we ended up with.

Still miss his M&M streams tho.
