Daybreak could be rich if they were not so greedy (and lazy).
I hope they lose it all and the community wins.

I hate to break it to you, but that's not how copyright works. This is about as close to a textbook case of copyright infringement as it gets. They have the THJ devs by the balls at this point, and can crush them if they want. Best case scenario would be another p99 situation, where they have to fork over any "donations" they got, and can limp along as a passion project that makes $0.

Yeah I agree. I liked THJ but there’s no way they’re winning this unscathed. They’re going to have to disclaim how much they made and fork it over.

Business is business but they should probably thank THJ and maybe even hire some of them because they've breathed more life into the game than they have in a long time. There is probably a higher road where both sides could win from this but I'm sure that's no goal of Daybreaks.

The community could rally for THJ, but Daybreak’s track record shows they value IP control over fan support. It’s likely a lost cause.

Game let you "multiclass"/combine 3 different EQ classes, keeping all their abilities, spells, and AAs. Additionally, items could be "leveled" up to LEGENDARY status, which gave them massive stat boosts, heroic stats, etc. depending on the piece of gear in question.

This + some server tweaks allowed you to solo most raiding content with all the extra power. A "dad" server, if you will.

Wait so one character could have abilities of 3 classes with no limits?

In effect, yeah. You could stack Warrior AAs with Monk AAs type of stuff. Skill caps used the highest for whichever of the 3 classes you chose had the highest skill cap in said skill. So if you chose MNK/WAR/PAL, you'd mostly be using WAR skill caps for defense, MNK would get you a higher 2HB cap, block skill, etc.

What made THJ so fun?

Can someone give the tldr?
Click to expand...
  • Multiclassing: Players can combine three classes (e.g., Necromancer/Paladin/Druid or Warrior/Cleric/Enchanter), accessing all spells, abilities, and AAs from each. With 560 possible combinations, this allows creative, powerful builds like a "holy blender" (Warrior/Paladin/Rogue) or pet-heavy setups (Necromancer/Magician/Beastlord)
    for 3 pets at once.
  • Solo-Friendly Design: Rebalanced for solo or duo play, THJ lets one character function as a strong group, tackling dungeons and bosses without needing multiple accounts or bots. Enemies are slightly easier, but raids and high-level bosses (e.g., Nagafen, Vox) remain challenging, offering rewarding progression.
  • Engaging Progression System: Expansions unlock by defeating key raid bosses or collecting rare items, adding a sense of achievement. Upgradable gear (Enchanted/Legendary versions) and immediate access to role-defining AAs (e.g., Rogue’s Chaotic Stab and SoS at level 1) make every level feel impactful.
  • Community: With thousands of players, a friendly atmosphere, and active Discord support, THJ fosters camaraderie. Admins are responsive, and the server’s popularity (e.g., 3,000 players reported)
  • No multi comp: With the soloability of most combinations are quite active - many AA's available early if you want to farm AA's at lvl 30. Also many AA's retuned to be shorted cooldowns for a more active playstyle for most compositions.
  • Quality of life improvements: Bazaar is a central hub with easy access. No death penalty (non HC), server wide buffs, buffs never need to be refreshed, etc etc.
  • Gear: Very little is no-drop or lore. And most of it is equipable at level 1. Also with the class combos you get a wide selection. Also all gear can drop as enchated or legendary with enhanced stats. Further, you can combine or evolve gear manually till you get to legendary.

A smart company would've used the massive surge in popularity and publicity to their advantage and come out with a creative new TLP (while also still keeping the lawsuit on the backburner).

Instead, they release Fangbanger...

This is the company whose response to THJ was Fangbreaker.

4d chess thinking was that they released a server that becomes a worse Oakwynd right around the same time the next TLP comes out, and that one would have been the THJ collab server.

Nope they're just that dumb.

Worse, they likely blame the lack of success on THJ rather than their stupid TLP ruleset.
