Alright well I'll admit I was wrong if something otherwise comes out. If it is true, I would have done the same thing.

I posted this hours before Nick was officially "off the project".So it sounds like Nick is being positioned as the built-in cope for when the game flops? That way, instead of acknowledging the realities of the MMO market, people can just fall back on the idea that a "TRUE" EverQuest successor has somehow still never been tried before..
Now we're at the stage of grief where it looks like we're building toward the, "a TRUE EQ successor has just never been tried yet!!!" magnum opus.

Holy shit i get it now. They’re trying to be a true EverQuest successor!
Shawn must be railing crushed pills and Nick got fired in the parking lot.

Why would you care? You're just a casual gamer dad now, bro. Your hardcore days are over.

What is unfortunate for them is I don't think Shawn or probably any of their staff are necessarily use to being in these types of administrative situations. Most of these guys have been on teams or worked as designers and they may have experienced management address these situations but its different when you're the guy. I also think people are going to be less forgiving the deeper it gets into beta and closer to their release. The challenge will ultimately be their willingness (or ability) to sort through the noise. Many games have caved prior to launch and even shortly after launch to the wrong voices who were unfortunately advocating very selfishly rather than either sticking to their vision or listening to those who had legitimate concerns.

Also the fact that Nick wasn't even streaming until about 5 months ago. Shawn's streams are usually the best for overall information and direction the game is going. Nick was the place to go for class information, though. Hopefully he gets a good replacement.

I guess I live in a paid for house with 2 paid for cars in the drive way but still vote in favor of the common man too. I'm just set in my ways I guess.
Having real games that challenge people and build meaningful relationships is important to me.
Like everything else, the drool cups who chase cheap thrills and spew bile seem to want to destroy that too. You shoulda seen the horrible beak demon that came after me on social media the other day or two ago. Funny when ya think about it.

Can you elaborate a little more, I'm staying the course as far as I can tell. I admit the trolling parts vs serious parts when pressed tbh.

Sir do you mean to tell me that a former EQ dev who moved to Europe to live as a hermit under the German welfare state and started a garage-box recreation of a 1999 elf simulator is… behaving weirdly?

Don't even have a paid for garage at your paid for house for your 2 paid for cars. SMH.

I have a 2 car garage but the truck is a tight fit, and the other side has card board boxes I've been throwing away one recycling pick up at a time.
Come to think of it, I need to just throw all that shit in the truck this Saturday and spend the 10$ to be rid of it all at once. I do wanna get the cars in before the yellow cloud of pollen jizz crap comes.
Anyways, dont let me derail this memoriam to Nick who was someone who actually said "I'll do it" instead of sitting around complaining. That takes an immense amount of drive and commitment, he truly loved what he was doing. I would highly doubt we get another person who would seriously listen and set out to make a true good classic style MMO again in our lifetime.
