Would you care?

I mean seriously... the people in charge over there are quite literally the worst of the worst in the industry. The only reason they exist is because they are in charge of a game that has massive nostalgia and is one of the founders the industry. They didn't design the game. They didn't develop the game. They were not there to help it become the juggernaut it was before WoW came around.

These are literally just bad employees sucking the life out of something they know jack shit about.

Their expansions suck.
Their TLP servers suck.
Their customer service sucks.

There literally is nothing about DPG that doesn't suck.

If they never had Everquest, DPG would not exist. Period.

After watching a recent video, I came to the same exact conclusion that the person in the video had come to... Fuck DPG and EverQuest.!

Was it a great game back in the day? Yes. It was pivotal to the early development of the MMO industry.

Is it still a great game today? No. It's a shell of what it used to be, and it is 100% because of DPG.

As long as DPG is the developer for EverQuest, I am done with the game. I already cancelled my yearly memberships earlier this year. But, I had thought about coming back to do some raiding.

But... Now after seeing what they are doing with the current lawsuit, I'm done. It's that simple. I'm done. DPG has gotten the very last penny out of me they will ever get. Fuck em.

And, no. I did not play on the emu server that is getting sued. I haven't played on an emu server in many years. I just didn't find the emu servers to be that fun compared to the real thing.

That all being said, will I miss EverQuest? No. I say that because what EverQuest is today is not what I enjoyed. I have my memories of the good times, and that is what matters. What they have now is not worth missing.

Peace out Jchan and company. Go waste more of your pathetic time making a new pride familiar. It's the ONLY thing your company seems to be able to do correctly (that red panda this year was super cute). And...thanks for fucking EverQuest in to the ground. You made it so much easier to say goodbye and fuck you.

**Edit to say... this is my 1337th post on these forums. If that isn't poetic I don't know what is lol. 1337 Post**

Shrug and move on. Plenty of other things to play and do. The days of going 100% hardcore into 1 game for years are over.

Its fun to watch people have a meltdown over them, like the OP.

I don't know. I'm just saying that I personally think that DPG is one of the shittiest game development companies on the planet. I personally wouldn't touch a single game they ever were in charge of making. If that accounts to a meltdown, then I guess I am guilty.

EQ isn't their biggest game. Apparently DCUO is. And they recently acquired DDO and LOTRO, so if EQ goes bye bye they are still going strong for years to come.

There are far far worse companies. That have done far more then than minimum effort to keep a game going to leech off nostalgia.

  • DBG (Daybreak Games) is the publisher of EQ, DCUO, DDO, and LOTRO. They are located in San Diego, California.
  • DPG (Dark Paw Games) is the developer of Everquest and Everquest 2. They are located in San Diego, California.
  • SSG (Standing Stone Games) is the developer of DDO and LOTRO. They are located in Boston, Massachusetts.
  • Dimensional Ink is the developer of DCUO. They are located in Austin, Texas.
These are separate companies with the only two that are actually together being DBG and DPG.

Shutting down EverQuest would be the best thing that could happen to EverQuest and for the players.

Gaybreak/Darkpaw is a hospice for EQ right now, and the stench of death is in the air. Anyone who continues to play them a cent is complicit in facilitating the ongoing dysfunction. Every last one of the devs needs to be fired, starting with JChan, who was only hired by that retard Smed because she's an Asian dyke. They are easily the worst, most underwhelming, shameful dev team in MMO history: despicable, incompetent, inept, lazy, and apathetic. Not to mention they have utter contempt for their players. None of them will have a chance at getting hired any any other MMO company.

The folks at Project1999 and the Emu community are doing a far better job at honoring the vision and legacy of the original EQ than Gaybreak.

I suspect that buffoon Ji Ham will probably unload the EQ franchise in the next few years. The sooner the better.

Daybreak is a retirement home for a ton of old school MMOs right now. Milking memberberries to the very last drop. They have enough of a roster that they will be around for years to come. ENAD might buy some newer chum for the bucket as things come on the market. WOW is looking really fucking long in the tooth these days as well.

Congrats on hitting post 1337 with your epic takedown of something you quit. You canceled your subscription but you still camp the forums like a stalker much? If you hate EverQuest so much then delete the shortcut, close this tab and move on. You guys are fucking unbelievable with the hate for devs, calling them slurs and generally being an insufferable band of incel retards. A certain section of so called "gamers" are so fucking trash its no wonder so many of them just sit in moms basement and rage about video games and woke conspiracies as if game devs owe you jack shit. If you don''t like it, don't fucking buy it and play it. Coming on the internet with a unhinged slur ridden diatribe is pathetic. Find something else to do.

Wasn't there some recent article or some such on how toxic the work environment there really is? Anyone have a link?
