SoE has been shit since the old EQ days before WoW came in and took 87.98% of their playerbase. They have never released anything of real gaming value since then. The only golden nugget they shit out in the past 15 yrs has been Planetside 2, but even that game they cannot manage correctly so the servers have been slowly consolidating. Some good ideas squandered because of bad management and having the wrong people in leadership positions.
The writing was on the walls people. You create shit and buy the shittiest of the shit for the better part of a decade, what do you expect?
Prediction? Smed is gone within a month or two. That fork tongue needs to be finally loped off.

Been getting password reset requests from my new Daybreak accounts, I wonder if it's people trying to take them to resell or if it's Dexella trying to log into her new account.
I heard their sources are russian funded. Ima laugh if it turns out this is all a laundering front for the Solntsevskaya Bratva.
When you replace the word "firms" with "pixel cartels", it all falls into place....
Hell of a picture it's about as sad as watching someone clear out their desk which I want to see if it happens.

I can only take the news of Sony dumping Soe as a net positive. EQ next was started in 09. We are going on 6 years here and all we have is Landmark. I hope the top 10 people at SOE/Daybreak get fired. I'm sure they are nice warm people but they sure as hell can't make a good mmo.
I got passed this information.

Name change... Today.
Georgeson, Butler, and Smedley - Fired. Tomorrow.
All other employees let go next week.
All IP's and infrastructure liquidated next month.
Gordon Walton wins the $317 million dollar powerball and leaves Zynga.
Entire company reformed.
John Smedley, Rich Vogel, George Scotto, Paul Sage, Brad McQuaid, Matt Firor, Jeff Butler, Steve Danuser, and Dave Georgeson - all brought into the company as leadership.
Gordon Walton runs out of funds after 4 months.
Once and for all, all these assholes that have been holding back the entire MMORPG genre get deported to Guam.
Game industry rejoices.
Now THIS would be the ultimate outcome.
Hopefully we will see more iOS/Android games from Daybreak. Trolololololollllllollll reddit 4chan

True.. I am probably jumping the gun but I guess the last time I experienced going through a "name change", all the signs change to resolve all the legal aspects of the deal and logistics and then within 30 days you had the option to move to Atlanta or find another job.
